Kaspersky CEO: Network worm like an army of evil

Last week, Kaspersky CEO Yukin Kabaski (Eugene Kaspersky) received media friends in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Dubrovnik is a beautiful place, with a medieval fortress, a jade-blue river and a huge stone wall. Yukin Kabaski with a trademark charming smile said: "Sunday here just under the rainstorm, now much better." "The ancient fortress has defended the town for centuries, and Dubrovnik is actually just a solution to the ancient problem: how to keep us from the unknown attack!"

Now, we no longer rely on the fort, nor rely on the battlements on the bunker to defend ourselves, but still face more weaknesses in the network to deal with. According to Kaspersky, the world last year because of the damage caused by malicious software more than 100 billion U.S. dollars.

Yukin Kabaski depicts modern forms of space competition, the global competition of resources, the continual renovation of corporate crime through malware, and so on. When asked how to defeat malware, Yukin Kabaski lists three threats to today's world security and their trends:

One: The network crime of industrialization

In the past, just a small team, most people do not contact each other, but now has become an industry. Different criminal groups do different things. Because of this, their criminal practices are becoming more and more professional, and the quality of malicious software is becoming more and more high. Not only that, they also integrate different technologies into malware, making the product evolve faster.

Two: Network worms and cyber-terrorism

Because of the increasingly high quality of malware, many gangs are more cunning to use malware, the world's worm-affected computers in tens of millions of units, I think this is the biggest threat today. What is more frightening is that millions of computers may have started with the same infection source. The only thing I can explain is that it's like an army, and the bad guys control the army and use it for evil. Fortunately, these worm-makers are only committing crimes online, but not into other fields. They can also use their own viruses in politics, and we will not just call it "cyber-terrorism".

Third: Growing online data fall into the hands of evil

Today, more and more data has been online, threatening the data more and more. It's getting easier to steal information from laptops or mobile phones. In the UK, I hear every month a server with sensitive information leaked data that goes beyond cyber crime and steals more bad things.
