The US-based Centre for Internet Security (CIS) has unveiled a free tool to help network managers patch their servers following reports that the Russian mafia is trying to milk unwary ebusinesses for credit card details.
Last week, the FBI released information about a series of economic extortion attacks that had already hit many online banking and ecommerce sites running Windows NT.
The agency said that details of more than one million credit cards have already been stolen, and that criminals are demanding money to keep sites safe from "other hackers" and to keep the site's credit card information confidential. The attackers were using specific well-known Windows NT vulnerabilities.
As a result, CIS has created PatchWork, which detects known vulnerabilities and directs network managers to the relevant patches to fix them. The tool then enables managers to verify that patches are installed correctly, although it needs to be updated as new fixes come out.
The Consumers' Association should be thrown out of its own Which? Web Trader internet shopping assurance scheme after it allowed the credit card details of 2700 customers to be published online, according to a leading security expert. 22 Jun 2001
