Target-yhtiön (ja ehkä Neiman Marcusinkin) yli 100 miljoonan käyttäjän tiedot kaapattiin käyttämällä Windows-koneisiin kohdistettua haittaohjelmaa. Tuon haitakkeen suunnitteli Venäjällä asuva 16-vuotias poika.
"Sixteen-year-old wrote the code for Target breach. The press calls him a “nearly seventeen-year-old” and he’s reported to be one of the people behind the malware used to compromise credit card data at Target and other locations. By our way of counting, “nearly seventeen” means he is sixteen or, like the show tune says, “sixteen going on seventeen.” He lives in Russia and is said to be the author of the BlackPOS malware that was used against Target and might have been used against Neiman Marcus.
This info comes from Los Angeles based cyber-intelligence firm IntelCrawler, which says it’s also traced six additional breaches to BlackPOS. As noted on MarketWatch, despite authoring the malware, the kid is just a small fry in this affair.
“‘He is still visible for us, but the real bad actors responsible for the past attacks on retailers such as Target and Neiman Marcus were just his customers,’ said Dan Clements, the company’s president, on its website.
“IntelCrawler said BlackPOS first infected retailers’ systems in Australia, Canada and the U.S. It said the malware … has been sold to cybercriminals in Eastern Europe and other countries, including owners of underground credit-card shops.” "

Ei ole ollenkaan ihme, että pojat tekevät toimivia haittaohjelmia windowsiin. Windows on kaikista helpoin kohde, jossa toimii kaikki haittaohjelmat.
Windows on myös ainoa käyttöjärjestelmä jolle valmistetaan kunnollisia oikeita ohjelmia, ei mitään TUTO TUTO TUTO, SUDO SUDO SUDO tubutin ohjelmia.
Ubuntu on roskaa.
linux roistot asialla ! Nikkeliä niskaan ja hommat alkaa jälleen pelaamaan ..........................
Venäjällä löytyy teknisesti hyvin lahjakkaita ihmisiä ja onhan he olleet kautta aikojen mestarillisia shakissa.
Pojan kuvakin löytyy netistä:
