Emerging Cybercrime Tools: Risks and Implications for Security

It's becoming cheaper and easier to get hold of the tools needed to launch a cybercrime attack, security firm RSA claimed on Thursday. Jens Hinrichsen, the company's product marketing manager for fraud auction, said RSA had been monitoring the websites and ICQ channels where malicious hackers and cybercriminals interact. These sites allow participants to share feedback and even review each other's products. . Addressing an audience at the RSA Conference 2007 in San Francisco, Hinrichsen showed several screengrabs to illustrate that the prices being asked for hacking tools have been dropping, with many participants embracing volume discounts and other incentives.

Low Assurance SSL Certificates Pricing Trends And Market Analysis

While we start to see a shift in the market of SSL certificates ,with the costs getting lower and lower - specially for low assurance certificates, there are some providers, which try to tell you otherwise. . The so called low assurance certificates, are domain validated only certificates, such as our Free Class 1 Certificates. For years they were sold for up to ~ US$ 100, depending on the CA. Now it seams, prices are getting down - not free yet, but certainly much lower than in the past. Prices on validated certificates however don't seam to have changed a lot so.... In November 2005 representatives from the most popular browser vendors (Internet Explorer, Mozilla (Firefox), Opera and KDE) met in Toronto to discuss certain UI changes of their software, to reflect different types of certificates. So they all have some differences about the colors, they agreed, that the address bar should be flushed with different colors, depending on the state of the certificate (trusted CA or not, wrong domain etc), but also the "golden pad lock" will be moved to the address bar. Other ideas which came up in their meeting was, to try to implement some standard, which would reflect the verification level of the certificate. Of course, this is somewhat problematic, since every CA does measure this levels different. The link for this article located at StartCom Linux is no longer available. .
