“In the largest criminal Internet attack to date, a group of
Eastern European hackers has spent a year systematically exploiting
known Windows NT vulnerabilities to steal customer data. More than
a million credit cards have been taken and more than 40 sites have
been victimized.”
“The FBI and Secret Service are taking the unprecedented step of
releasing detailed forensic information from ongoing investigations
because of the importance of the attacks.”
“The information was released to the SANS community a short
timebefore it was made available to the general public so that you
can be sure your systems are safe.”
