  1. Agenda • Agenda (this one!) – check! • WW Phishing in the next (6, maybe 12) months • Phishing in Romania (2007-2009) • Why 2 & 3 ? • The current BitDefender approach • Other important aspects • This paper will have no conclusions slide so please pay attention! (yes, I’m talking to the guys in the back… where the power plugs are :p )

  2. WW Phishing in the next (6 - 12) months • APWG on 2nd ½ of 2008 • Unique phishing reports submitted to APWG  recorded a yearly high of 34,758 in October  • Unique phishing websites detected by APWG during the second half of 2008 saw a constant increase from July  and in October reached a maximum of 27,739  IT WILL RISE!!, or in Malcom Gladwell’s words: “This is going to tip” – (we trust him because he looks Einsteinian!

  3. Phishing in Romania (2007-2009) • 2007 – 7 attacks • 2008 – 26 attacks (50% targeting the same institution) • 2009 – 187 attacks already (98% targeting the same institution) • 2009 – 1’st ½ … anyone want to make a prediction? Don’t be fooled by randomness!

  4. Now… why would anyone start phishing? • With the current market turmoil, what's the easiest way to make a small fortune? • Start off with a large one! • Quote of the day (from a trader): "This is worse than a divorce. I've lost half my net worth and I still have a wife • This market stinks so bad…that even Chuck Norris can’t make any money.

  5. Well… I bet not anybody can phish!

  6. Really… is must be more than this!!! • Open the yellow pages and pick someone • Search his name using a social media search-engine • If any SN profile found • Download images, posts, comments, friend • Create a phishing attack customized for this exact person. • Continue with his friends 4. Complicated? Too much work? Dial 1-800 BOTNET for an army of computers to do this for you PS: (success comes when the victim has profiles on more than one social network)

  7. Current BitDefender Approach • Technologies: • RBL • Website Forgery Detector • Signature Filter • Minutiae Analysis • Image Filter • AntiPharming Module • We protect: Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Romania and US (banks, SN accounts and webmail)…. For now….

  8. The Matrix We want to believe that this is proactive!

  9. Ignorance is bliss • Showing the actual domain on which the page is hosted • Showing the real page that is being forged • Displaying information about the registrar, the geographic location where the page is hosted and so on. • Requiring user confirmation before continuing loading the page • Certificates challenge. • We suggest all that AND, if possible, actually redirecting the user to the desired institution

  10. Are you going to ask me something or I will have to phish for questions???
