Daily News… CYBERCRIMINALS ENTRENCHED IN ‘DARK WEB’: RESEARCHERS Cybercriminals are settling into a comfortable place in the «Dark Web» where they test, refine and distribute malware for online thievery. That’s the conclusion of researchers at McAfee, the US Internet security specialist, who noted that a huge data breach that affected as many as 110 million customers of the US retailer Target may be just the tip of the iceberg. In its quarterly threat assessment released Monday, McAfee Labs noted the relative ease with which this type of malware is bought and sold in «Dark Web» marketplaces. McAfee researchers concluded that the malware for the Target attacks used «relatively unsophisticated technologies likely purchased ‘off the shelf’ from the Cybercrime-as-a-Service community, and customized specifically for these attacks,» the security firm said. The report pointed out that the attackers who stole the data have also found a market -- offering some of the 40 million credit card numbers reported stolen in batches of between one million and four million at a time. «The fourth quarter of 2013 will be remembered as the period when cybercrime became ‘real’ for more people than ever before,» said Vincent Weafer, senior vice president for McAfee Labs. «These cyber thefts occurred at a time when most people were focused on their holiday shopping and when the industry wanted people to feel secure and confident in their purchases. The impact of these attacks will be felt both at the kitchen table as well as the boardroom table. «We must recognize that this class of attack is far from ‘advanced,’» it added. McAfee’s report also noted a surge in mobile malware as more people use smartphones. It collected 2.47 million new mobile malware samples in 2013, with 744,000 in the fourth quarter alone.
