    16 Year Old Russian Douche Responsible for Attack on Target Customers

    Target should hire a hit-man to waste fucks like this ???..

    "The Target Corp. data breach that has hurt its sales and has made many consumers skittish about using their cards has been traced to a Russian teenager who authored the malware used in the security breach, according to a cyber-intelligence firm."

    "IntelCrawler, based in Los Angeles, said that nearly 17-year-old Sergey Taraspov is a well-known programmer of malicious code in the underground world. The cyber-intelligence firm added the BlackPOS malware is an inexpensive ?off the shelf? malware, which it said may also have been involved in the Neiman Marcus attack."

            This kid's IQ is probably larger than the collective IQ of Target execs.

                  Here's a good article on it... http://blog.malwarebytes.org/intelli...target-attack/

                  I have no sympathy for people who write malware to cause harm and for financial gain.

                        It's hard to believe that is was only one guy no matter how smart he is... Knowing the Russians and Eastern Europe there must be a little FSB / KGB involved there...

                          Side note: i like some of the comments "Why didn't the NSA catch this. Aren't they monitoring everything and everyone?" or this one "People go crazy when they find out that their credit info has been stolen. And yet the hardly complain when they government robs you every week you get a pay check. Making you pay for things that you don't want your money used for. Then on top of that they bring us obamacare.. The biggest tax raise on American taxpayers ever." or even better "a 17 year old writes some malware, everyone loses their minds.


                          banks destroy the world economy, steal peoples homes, steal $700 billion from the american taxpayer, no one says a word. " )))))

                            A small update:

                            from this site: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/01/a...usion-malware/

                            "The source close to the Target investigation said that at the time this POS malware was installed in Target?s environment (sometime prior to Nov. 27, 2013), none of the 40-plus commercial antivirus tools used to scan malware at virustotal.com flagged the POS malware (or any related hacking tools that were used in the intrusion) as malicious. ?They were customized to avoid detection and for use in specific environments,? the source said."


                            So I think whoever attacked Target was not a simple webmaster or a small group of cyber criminals. It was more a group that knew about how certain POS work , maybe a certain type and knew something about Target's security protocols..

                              They are not supposed to be. You cannot retain consumer credit card data, i.e.; full credit card numbers unless it is on a SQL (data) server that only accepts local connections and in a security cage per PCI standards and VISA Net requirements.

                              So none of this makes sense. I think that this ''Russian hacker k0d3k1dde" is a diversion. This was probably an inside job or some major slop in compliance to PCI standards.

                              *** reading further a POS malware? Inside job too allowing Internet access to a POS system seems incredibly stupid.

                                    As I understood it: POS connected to intranet . Server connected to intranet with the POS but also to internet. Cyber criminal inserts mmom via the server . Mmom takes raw dump from the POS card reader and send it via the POS-intranet-server-internet to the cyber criminal's PC and from there he produces hacked cards.

                                    So the data has a very short UN-encription time but enough for it to be captured.

                                                  Wernher Magnus Maximilian, Freiherr von Braun (March 23, 1912 ? June 16, 1977) was a German, and later naturalized American, rocket scientist, aerospace engineer, space architect, and one of the leading figures in the development of rocket technology in Germany during World War II and, subsequently, in the United States. He is credited as being the "Father of Rocket Science".

                                                    1) a Nazi (sure you don't care about)
                                                    2) a war criminal (he personally picked war prisoners for his factory where they were used as slaves)
                                                    3) the man who's V2 killed a lot of civilians in the UK (course you don't give a fuck about the UK citizens, right?)

                                                              And what exactly happening in Russia today? Please explain. I said that I would hire that guy if I was a director of FSB, because he (the 16yo guy) did the same thing the NSA does everyday (yes, they are hacking some private info right now while we talk here).

                                                              However, my "I would" have nothing to do with the reality. It's my personal opinion only but not a statement of fact.
