Sophisticated cyber actors and nation-states exploit vulnerabilities to steal information and money and are developing capabilities to disrupt, destroy, or threaten the delivery of essential services. A range of traditional crimes are now being perpetrated through cyberspace. This includes the production and distribution of child pornography and child exploitation conspiracies, banking and financial fraud, intellectual property violations, and other crimes, all of which have substantial human and economic consequences.

Cyberspace is particularly difficult to secure due to a number of factors: the ability of malicious actors to operate from anywhere in the world, the linkages between cyberspace and physical systems, and the difficulty of reducing vulnerabilities and consequences in complex cyber networks. Of growing concern is the cyber threat to critical infrastructure, which is increasingly subject to sophisticated cyber intrusions that pose new risks. As information technology becomes increasingly integrated with physical infrastructure operations, there is increased risk for wide scale or high-consequence events that could cause harm or disrupt services upon which our economy and the daily lives of millions of Americans depend. In light of the risk and potential consequences of cyber events, strengthening the security and resilience of cyberspace has become an important homeland security mission.

The document alleges that traces of Russian language were detected in the malware.
The first results of the investigation into the holiday hacker attack against Target Corp have been summed up in a secret “Indicators for Network Defenders” memo distributed by the US government among American retailers and financial service companies.

People familiar with the document claim the situation is actually much worse than appraised earlier, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The investigators have confirmed fears that Target was not the only victim of the attack, but have refrained from identifying the other companies that suffered during the Christmas sales craze.

According to Reuters’ source, at least three other well-known national retailers have suffered an attack from the same virus.

On Thursday, luxury retailer Neiman Marcus Group said that it also suffered a theft of clients’ personal data during the holiday shopping period, without mentioning, though, whether its case was somehow related to Target's.

In an attempt to expose the plotters of the attack against Target Corp, America’s third-largest retail company, the US Department of Homeland Security’s National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center teamed up with Dallas-based iSight Partners, a cybersecurity company, which distributed its own version of the memo Thursday.

eBay virus (also found as eBay pop-up virus) is a malicious computer program that targets lovers of this online shopping site. Hackers are using several tricks to force victims install malicious software into their computers without realizing it. Most of the time, attackers use social engineering tricks to deceive bargain hunters.


The term “eBay malware” can be divided into several parts:

  • eBay Trojan (used to steal private user's information);
