ABOUT THE WEBINAR


YARA is often called the “pattern matching Swiss knife for malware researchers and everyone else”, and for a good reason: YARA detection rules help find malware, exploits and 0-days that couldn’t be found by other methods.

How could YARA benefit you and your organization? What are the ingredients of a good YARA rule? How can you use YARA to find unknown threats and anomalies?

Join our online session with Costin Raiu, Director of Kaspersky’s Global Research an Analysis Team (GReAT) and Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, Adjunct Professor of Strategic Studies, Johns Hopkins SAIS, and moderated by Dan Demeter, senior security researcher at Kaspersky’s GReAT – cybersecurity experts who have been using YARA more than 6 years— for their insights and tips on using it for threat hunting.

In addition to the practical insights from the company’s world-renowned cybersecurity experts, training includes access to a special virtual lab where learners can practice their new skills by working on 20+ threat hunting exercises – all based on Kaspersky’s exclusive research.

How to secure PayPal

How to secure PayPal By- Aarti Jatan Your online finances need proper protection. Learn how to secure your PayPal account. With hundreds of millions of users around the world, PayPal has long been an international leader in the electronic payments industry. But as we know, money never fails to attract fraud, especially now, with as much of life as possible taking place online. Here is what you need to do to stay safe when sending or receiving money through PayPal. How secure is PayPal? As a matter of fact, PayPal is quite a reliable platform that maintains a high level of security — and keeps improving it. Thus, the company has an official program deploying white hat hackers to unearth vulnerabilities (the so-called bug bounty), under which it has already paid out almost $4 million since 2018. The program also covers several other services owned by PayPal, such as Venmo. PayPal also treats its users’ data responsibly: It did have one reliably reported leak, in 2017, but the leak invol...

Hackers are scoring more than a million dollars annually selling compromised accounts for the popular Fortnite video game in underground forums. With Fortnite’s immense popularity skyrocketing over the past few years – it currently has more than  350 million global players  – the game is a lucrative target for cybercriminals. So lucrative, in fact, that 2 billion breached accounts have gone up for sale in underground forums so far in 2020 alone, according to a new report. After tallying the auction sales for several high-end and low-end Fortnite account sellers over a three month period, researchers found that on the high end, sellers averaged $25,000 per week in account sales — roughly $1.2 million per year. The market for stolen account sales is much larger than just the gaming industry…However, from our rese...

The PIN is useless in Visa contactless transactions

Academics bypass PINs for Visa contactless payments By- Aarti Jatan Researchers: "In other words, the PIN is useless in Visa contactless transactions." A team of academics from Switzerland has discovered a security bug that can be abused to bypass PIN codes for Visa contactless payments. This means that if criminals are ever in possession of a stolen Visa contactless card, they can use it to pay for expensive products, above the contactless transaction limit, and without needing to enter the card's PIN code. The attack is extremely stealthy, academics said, and can be easily mistaken for a customer paying for products using a mobile/digital wallet installed on their smartphone. However, in reality, the attacker is actually paying with data received from a (stolen) Visa contactless card that is hidden on the attacker's body. HOW THE ATTACK WORKS According to the research team, a successful attack requires four components: (1+2) two Android smartphones, (3) a special An...
