Editor's Notes
- Use of web 2.0 applications is growing within enterprises at astonishing rates as companies take advantage of increased productivity and younger workers demand access.Web 2.0 opens new risk vectors to cybercriminals as they can quickly exploit the desire of the community members to “trust” each other in order to quickly gain control of passwords and further infiltrate the community and/or endpoint of the of the end-user.As TCO pressures mount enterprises will turn increasingly towards the use of web 2.0 and laptop subsidy programs where company employees can go and purchase any PC or mobile phone they desire from retail store fronts.IT now finds itself in the role of saying yes, and in doing so must look to educate the organization in defining what its appetite for risk is.

- New threat vector to steal identify, damage corporate brand, spreading malware, launching assaults on ind brand and company brandBusinesses that don’t listen – the bad guys can be an imposter and you wouldn’t know it. Risks include identity theft and malware to the letting careless potential employees – which can damage corporate brand and messaging. Extract profile information which would then be hosted at a third party location with obvious security implicationsPerpetrator registered a fraudulent account on MySpace under Triple H The adoption of Enterprise 2.0 applications is being driven by users, not by IT. The ease with which they can be accessed, combined with the fact that newer (younger) employees are accustomed to using them, points toward a continuation of this trend.These applications are delivering business value – they are rapidly becoming part of “how business gets done” – but the risks are not being weighed by users.Companies are seeing measurable benefits from the use of Enterprise 2.0 applications and technologies.The dominant underlying technology used to deliver these new community and collaborative based applications is the browser .Companies & users do not take into account the business and security risks that these applications present as Organizations are scrambling to determine policies, address security issues, and enable appropriate use.
- Cyber attacks take advantage of the trust factor prevalent among users of social media tools and sites. They can quickly capture passwords, infiltrate the social network and replicate their attack and load key logger or other malware.May social networking sites run applications that can allow employees to download apps that run malicious code from third parties.
- FB offers thousands of integrated applications that its users can install and run. Also – URL shortening links from trusted users. Very little regulations or standards to adhere to. Botnet driven operations--Worm spreads via address replicator--Members trust downloadsMALWARE installed: --Pitches scareware --Steals cookies --Installs Waldac email spamming engine --Installs ZeuS banking Trojan --Carries out click-through fraud
- One of the best things about FB is that you know who you’re dealing with. You’ve verified every friend you’re connected to. Now scammers are using this trust to their advantage.
