Why be a bit 'of not witnessing an attack by a computer virus on a large scale? The answer is simple. The attack is already under way even if we do not realize it. The threat is called "exploits" a term used in computer to identify a method that, exploiting a bug or a vulnerability, port of privilege or the denial of service on a computer. The phenomenon of "exploit" has already infected more than 70 million PCs in the world, hundreds of thousands only in Italy (refers Grisoft, computer security company), but until now the alarm spread only on websites and magazines. Why? Because the current form taken by the 'exploit' belongs to a new generation of cyber attacks that do not work in the manner "terrorist groups" active virus for up to 4-5 years ago , destroying the contents of the hard disk or e-mail or blocked or deleted web pages of popular sites. But rather acts as a sort of Arsene Lupin computer, waiting silently for months, and being recognized more often than not when it is too late. "The threat of type" exploit ", which in Italy has already caused hundreds of thousands of victims - said Larry Bridwell, guru of computer security and global security strategist at Grisoft, maker AVG, one of the most & # 249; known antivirus of the world arrived at the "beta" version 8 - is very dangerous because it is simply a result of visiting an infected site installs on your PC a component (for example, masked by the program of playing video files) that can knock the computer or, worse, to track the number of our credit card rather than the access codes from your bank online, but contacts of their own contacts and files. " The phenomenon of 'exploit' is the result of a change in the field of computer-related crime that now no longer point to reputation or beau geste, but simply to make money ( as demonstrated by nomerosissimi Warez sites for a fee) so that 4 Russian criminals in recent days have taken possession of $ 4 million taken from the accounts of unsuspecting navigators in just 42 days of activity. The operation of a type of virus exploits is indeed difficult to see the normal browser. Most of the time because if in the Pc of memeoria there is any information to make money, can corrupt the traditional research carried out on the best-known search engines, to bring the navigator in sites or sites already infected copy of existing sites, where the unsuspecting user data delivery of your credit card to make purchases even believe in a trusted site. That is why the new frontier of the virus tends to reveal which sites are safe and with the functions' safe search 'and' safe surfing 'due notice if our research data has been corrupted.
