If you run a small business, and think that none of your data was of interest to a hacker, consider this: what if a hacker could take stolen bank account or credit card information from your computer and package it with the same information from a hundred or a thousand other small businesses? Would it be worth something then?
SMBs don't know how defenseless they've become, especially to automated and industrialized attack methodologies by organized crime............
"[Hackers] scan the Internet, looking for remote access services, and then try the default credentials. Once they gain access, they automatically install keyloggers to collect password information [as it's typed in]. Then they send the information it out via e-mail or by uploading it to an FTP server or a web site. They aggregate the data and sell it on the black market.............
Hackers could use the keylogger to figure out how access and drain a small business' bank account, but more commonly, they'll target point-of-sale systems, as four Romanians did recently. That kind of attack is increasing, because they're low-risk and low-cost attacks for organized crime. Because they're geographically widespread, it's hard for any one police department to follow up...............
