TYPES OF CYBER ATTACKSTYPES OF CYBER ATTACKS Botnet – Denial of service attack (DDOS) – Botmaster/botherder – Spam (please send me $$$ so I can repay you) “packet sniffers” – Data blocks = packages – Tracking those data for specific things (ex. passowords) – Argentinian guy breaking into DOD Naval Research Lab “IP Spoofing” – Not really at the IP address you think you are Worms/viruses – Trojan Horse

CYBERCRIME 2000 “ILOVEYOU” – Undergrad thesis project in Philippines – 45 million CPUs, $10B – Never charged with a crime TJ Maxx lost $130 M – Attacks from US, Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia, China 2010 US, UK, Ukraine – Zeus- getting bank account passwords ~$70M Almost all cyber crime are transnational

CYBER-ESPIONAGE NATO HQ attacked ~100X per day Moonlight Maze (US v. Russia 1999), Titan Rain (US v. China ~10 terabytes of data 2003) – These computers weren’t connected to the internet – “air gap” for US military = SIPRNET – Thumb drives/physical help to jump gap PRC as perpetrator
