We are seeing various
trends in the distribution of malware. It is now getting more
organized. In the past people were developing viruses just for fun.
Then there were cyber criminals who were independently developing
malware for financial gain. Now they operate in groups. Today this
has become an industry. There are organized groups of cyber criminals
who plan different attacks and offer criminal services. Of late we
also see the number of cyber criminals increasing. They are making
malware and trading it with others.
At the moment the motive
for this is only financial gain. They run botnets and trade
information about botnets. It is like a chain that has everything
from virus writing to hacking bank accounts. There are different
groups in this chain doing specific things. The increase in the
number of malware puts an extra load on security systems.
We also see cybercrime
that is politically motivated. In the past two years there were four
such attacks: Estonia, parts of Russia, Marseille Islands and
Georgia. These attacks are not motivated by financial gain but are a
type of political warfare. This type of cybercrime involves
sophisticated malware.
