Russian Hackers Stole Millions From Banks, ATMs
An anonymous reader writes Tens of millions of dollars, credit cards and intellectual property was stolen by a new group of cyber criminals. Group-IB and Fox-IT, in a joint research effort, have released a report about the Anunak hackers group (PDF). This group has been involved in targeted attacks and espionage since 2013. Anunak targets banks and payment systems in Russia and CIS countries. In Europe, the U.S., and Latin America, criminals were mainly focusing on retail networks as well as mass media resources. Anunak is unique in that it aims to target banks and e-payment systems. The goal is to get into bank networks and gain access to secured payment systems. As a result, the money is stolen not from the customers, but from the bank itself. If they manage to infect governmental networks, they use the infrastructure for espionage.
Russia is now glorious and strong, with the practice of good, honest, capitalist values that show the benefit of hard work and wholesome productivity.
Unlike dirty communism where you had to steal just to survive!
NSA knows, NSA won't tell.
Environment is more important than IQ. There are plenty of highly intelligent criminals. If you educate people with high IQ and no moral convictions you end up with a very dangerous criminal.
