In
addition to Android virus rampant , a new security trends are most
pronounced in the second quarter is the amount of theft against Bitcoin
digital currency .
Bitcoin is a digital currency itself is built on the infrastructure of friends ( peer - to- peer ) , and is designed for financial transactions anonymous and decentralized .
Transactions done on the server , called Bitcoin miners , who used to do the exchange and processing of Bitcoin .
This infrastructure relies on a network of computers that are connected and act as a resource that allows Bitcoin miners to work .
This virtual money can be converted into another currency or can also be used to pay for goods and services in the online store ( digital currency bitcoin as represented using the letter ' b ' little while Bitcoin infrastructure using the letter ' B ' huge ) .
Bitcoin value increased sharply in recent years . Previously , one bitcoin unit equivalent of less than USD 1 cent , but now value equivalent to approximately USD 130 .
Although the level of volatile currency Bitcoin , the currency continues to rise steadily . Popularity, anonymity , and the increasing value of Bitcoin is the main attraction for cyber criminals to target Bitcoin aggressively .
In addition, the Bitcoin be the currency of choice for cyber criminals to do business because bitcoin is very anonymous , have a safe transaction process , and does not have procedures or regulatory requirements as well as financial undanganan , making it difficult to trace.
Well , because they profit and popularity that makes the cyber criminals begin to look Bitcoin . What's more some time ago an attack on digital currency that is becoming more frequent . Such as in the information received from the Sunday ( 25/08/2013 ) .
In April , Kaspersky Lab's research team claims to find catch the cyber criminals who use Skype to distribute malware that targeted Bitcoin mining .
This malware uses social engineering to infect the victim , then install malware onto infected computers and change the victim's computer into CPU resources as slaves to mine Bitcoin . Bitcoin is mined using the victim's computer and then sent to account the perpetrators .
The next month , security experts Kaspersky Lab identifies other malicious activities related Bitcoin , namely Brazil phishing attacks .
Similarly, the use of Skype to infect computers , cyber criminals rely on social engineering to infect the victim , but this time using email phishing perpetrators to redirect users to a fake version of one of the famous Bitcoin trading site , MtGox .
MtGox handle a large number of official transactions , so the purpose of this activity is to trick users into providing their login credentials , which allow the perpetrators to steal Bitcoin directly from the user account .
A similar attack was carried out by exploiting loopholes in Android . Google acknowledged the bug already this allows criminals to steal bitcoin from one digital wallet .
