How Russia hacks you – Mar. 30, 2017
When a hacker wants to take over your laptop or steal your credit card, they will often use strategies you can learn about with a Google search.Russian hackers — including operators who target government officials and other high-ranking people — are no different. According to experts on a panel at the SINET security conference Wednesday, Russian hackers operate much like a lean startup, using open source tools and popular software to target victims.Tactics don’t have to be technically advanced. In fact, they’re widely available for everyone from the government to bad guys, according to Mike Murray, VP of security and intelligence at mobile security firm Lookout. People also buy and sell hacking tools on the dark web, or parts of the internet that require certain configurations to access. Most of this is done anonymously.
