11、up of more than 41.5 million attack sensors and records thousands of events per second. This network monitors threat activity in over 157 countries and territories through a combination of Symantec products and services such as Symantec DeepSight Threat Management System, Symantec Managed Security S
12、ervices, Norton consumer products, and other third-party data sources. In addition, Symantec maintains one of the worlds most comprehensive vulnerability databases, currently consisting of more than 60,000 recorded vulnerabilities (spanning more than two decades) from over 19,000 vendors representin
13、g over 54,000 products. Spam, phishing, and malware data is captured through a variety of sources including the Symantec Probe Network, a system of more than 5 million decoy accounts, Symantec.cloud, and a number of other Symantec security technologies. Skeptic, the Symantec.cloud proprietary heuris
14、tic technology, is able to detect new and sophisticated targeted threats before they reach customers networks. Over 8.4 billion email messages are processed each month and more than 1.7 billion web requests filtered each day across 14 data centers. Symantec also gathers phishing information through
15、an extensive anti-fraud community of enterprises, security vendors, and more than 50 million consumers. Symantec Trust Services provides 100 percent availability and processes over 6 billion Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) look-ups per day, which are used for obtaining the revocation statu
16、s of X.509 digital certificates around the world. These resources give Symantec analysts unparalleled sources of data with which to identify, analyze, and provide informed commen- tary on emerging trends in attacks, malicious code activity, phishing, and spam. The result is the annual Symantec Inter
17、net Security Threat Report, which gives enterprises, small business- es, and consumers essential information to secure their systems effectively now and into the future. p. 5 Symantec Corporation Internet Security Threat Report 2014 : Volume 19 Executive Summary In 2013 much attention was focused on
18、 cyber-espionage, threats to privacy and the acts of malicious insiders. However the end of 2013 provided a painful reminder that cybercrime remains prevalent and that damaging threats from cybercriminals continue to loom over businesses and consumers. Eight breaches in 2013 each exposed greater tha
19、n 10 million identities, targeted attacks increased and end-user attitudes towards social media and mobile devices resulted in wild scams and laid a foundation for major problems for end- users and businesses as these devices come to dominate our lives. This years ISTR once again covers the wide-ran
20、ging threat landscape, with data collected and analyzed by Symantecs security experts. In this summary, we call out seven areas that deserve special attention. The most important trends in 2013 were: 2013 Was The Year of Mega Breach Our Internet Security Threat Report 17 reported 2011 as the Year of
21、 the Data Breach. The year was extraordinary because in addition to increased cybercrime-driven breaches, Anonymous in acts of hactivism breached dozens of companies. With Anonymous less active, breach numbers returned to more predictable growth in 2012. And then came 2013. If 2011 was the year of t
22、he breach, then 2013 can best be described as the Year of the Mega Breach. The total number of breaches in 2013 was 62 percent greater than in 2012 with 253 total breaches. It was also larger than the 208 breaches in 2011. But even a 62 percent increase does not truly reflect the scale of the breach
23、es in 2013. Eight of the breaches in 2013 exposed more than 10 million identities each. In 2012 only one breach exposed over 10 million identities. In 2011, only five were of that size. 2011 saw 232 million identities exposed, half of the number exposed in 2013. In total over 552 million identities
24、were breached in 2013, putting consumers credit card information, birth dates, government ID numbers, home addresses, medical records, phone numbers, financial information, email addresses, login, passwords, and other personal information into the criminal underground. Targeted Attacks Grow and Evol
25、ve While targeted attacks continue to rise, Symantec observed an interesting evolution in these attacks. As first reported in last years Internet Security Threat Report, attackers added water- ing-hole attacks to their arsenal. But reports of the death of spear phishing are greatly exaggerated. Whil
26、e the total number of emails used per campaign has decreased and the number of those targeted has also decreased, the number of spear-phishing campaigns themselves saw a dramatic 91 percent rise in 2013. This “low and slow” approach (campaigns also run three times longer than those in 2012) are a si
27、gn that user awareness and protection technologies have driven spear phishers to tighten their targeting and sharpen their social engineering. We have also observed the addition of real world social engineering, combining virtual and real world attacks, being employed to increase the odds of success
28、. This years Internet Security Threat Report also introduces a new calculation. Using epidemiology concepts commonly applied to public health issues, we have estimated the risk industries and users face of being targeted for attack. It sends a warning to some industries that may view the volume of a
29、ttacks against them as no cause for concern. For instance, while the most targeted attacks in 2013 were against Governments and the Services industry, the industries at most risk of attack were Mining, Governments and then Manufacturing. Their odds of being attacked are 1 in 2.7, 1 in 3.1 and 1 in 3
30、.2 respectively. p. 6 Symantec Corporation Internet Security Threat Report 2014 : Volume 19 Executive Summary Zero-day Vulnerabilities and Unpatched Websites Facilitated Watering-Hole Attacks More zero-day vulnerabilities were discovered in 2013 than any other year Symantec has tracked. The 23 zero-
31、day vulnerabili- ties discovered represent a 61 percent increase over 2012 and are more than the two previous years combined. Zero-day vulnerabilities are coveted because they give attackers the means to silently infect their victim without depending on social engineering. And by applying these expl
32、oits in a watering-hole attack they avoid the possibility of anti-phishing technology stopping them. Unfortunately legitimate web sites with poor patch management practices have facilitated the adoption of watering hole attacks. 77 percent of legiti- mate websites had exploitable vulnerabilities and
33、 1-in-8 of all websites had a critical vulnerability. This gives attackers plenty of choices in websites to place their malware and entrap their victims. Typically cutting-edge attackers stop using a vulnerability once it is made public. But this does not bring an end to their use. Common cybercrimi
34、nals rapidly incorporate zero-day vulner- abilities to threaten all of us. Even though the top five zero-day vulnerabilities were patched on average within four days, Symantec detected a total of 174,651 attacks within 30 days of these top five becoming known. Ransomware attacks grew by 500 percent
35、in 2013 and turned vicious Scammers continued to leverage profitable ransomware scams where the attacker pretends to be local law enforcement, demanding a fake fine of between $100 to $500. First appearing in 2012 these threats escalated in 2013, and grew by 500 percent over the course of the year.
36、These attacks are highly profitable and attackers have adapted them to ensure they remain profitable. The next step in this evolution was Ransomcrypt, commonly known as Cryptolocker. This is the most prominent of these threats and turns ransom- ware vicious by dropping all pretence of being law enfo
37、rcement and is designed to encrypt a users files and request a ransom for the files to be unencrypted. This threat causes even more damage to businesses where not only the victims files are encrypted but also files on shared or attached network drives. Holding encrypted files for ransom is not entir
38、ely new, but getting the ransom paid has previously proven problematic for the crooks. With the appearance of online payment methods ransomcrypt is poised for growth in 2014. Small businesses and consumers are most at risk from losing data, files or memories. Prevention and backup are critical to pr
39、otecting users from this type of attack. Social Media Scams and Malware Flourish on Mobile While the prevalence of mobile malware is still comparatively low, 2013 showed that the environment for an explosive growth of scams and malware attacks is here. Our Norton Report, a global survey of end-users
40、, showed that 38 percent of mobile users had already experienced mobile cybercrime. Lost or stolen devices remain the biggest risk, but mobile users are behaving in ways that leave themselves open to other problems. Mobile users are storing sensitive files online (52 percent), store work and persona
41、l information in the same online storage accounts (24 percent) and sharing logins and passwords with families (21 percent) and friends (18 percent), putting their data and their employers data at risk. Yet only 50 percent of these users take even basic security precautions. The number of brand new m
42、alware families created slowed as malware authors worked to perfect existing malware. In 2012 each mobile malware family had an average of 38 variants. In 2013 each family had 58. However several events in 2013 showed that mobile users are highly susceptible to scams via mobile apps. It might be sai
43、d that mobile malware has not yet exploded because the bad guys have not needed it to get what they want. p. 7 Symantec Corporation Internet Security Threat Report 2014 : Volume 19 Executive Summary Prevalence of Scams Fail to Change User Behaviour on Social Media Surrounded by their friends, users
44、continue to fall for scams on social media sites. Fake offers such as free cell phone minutes accounted for the largest number of attacks of Facebook users in 2013 81 percent in 2013 compared to 56 percent in 2012. And while twelve percent of social media users say someone has hacked into their soci
45、al network account and pretended to be them, a quarter continue to shared their social media passwords with others and a third connect with people they dont know. As social media becomes more and more of an activity done on mobile devices these bad behaviours are likely to have worse consequences. A
46、ttackers are turning to the Internet of Things Baby monitors, as well as security cameras and routers, were famously hacked in 2013. Furthermore, security researchers demonstrated attacks against smart televisions, automobiles and medical equipment. This gives us a preview of the security challenge
47、presented by the rapid adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT). The benefit to attackers of compromising these devices may not yet be clear, and some suspect claims about hacked devices (refrigerators for instance) are to be expected. But the risk is real. IoT devices will become access points for
48、targeted attackers and become bots for cybercriminals. Of immediate concern are attacks against consumer routers. Computer worms like Linux.Darlloz are making a comeback as attackers target devices without users to social engineer, but with unpatched vulnerabilities they can remotely exploit. Contro
49、l of these devices can prove profitable for attackers, using DNS redirection to push victims to fake websites, usually to steal financial details. Today the burden of preventing attacks against IoT devices falls on the user; however this is not a viable long-term strategy. Manufacturers are not prioritizing security they need to make the right security investments now. The risk gets even higher with the proliferation of data being generated from these devices. Big data is big money and unless the
