1
00:00:01,210 --> 00:00:03,340
Let's now take a look at the blah blah program

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,780
the software was designed to monitor the data passing through TJX his computer network to sniff out

3
00:00:11,780 --> 00:00:16,230
credit card numbers from the corporation.

4
00:00:16,290 --> 00:00:20,170
The sniffer was later used to steal credit card details from other companies.

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:27,530
A Cuban-American Helberg Gonzalez was the mastermind behind the attack.

6
00:00:29,010 --> 00:00:35,290
Gonzales had been recognized as an expert in the computer system security field before he decided to

7
00:00:35,290 --> 00:00:36,810
set up his own business.

8
00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:39,460
He was also working for several government institutions

9
00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:47,800
Gonzales said about his business by first asking his friend Stephen want to create the bloodless scanner

10
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:57,410
any viruses and intrusion detection systems failed because blah blah was custom designed.

11
00:00:57,570 --> 00:01:03,450
The software was installed in a TJX network and stole 45 million credit card numbers in two months time

12
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,110
the attack was a huge success.

13
00:01:08,190 --> 00:01:11,180
But let's also pay attention to something that happened in the aftermath

14
00:01:14,670 --> 00:01:19,240
TJX was able to keep their customer base.

15
00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:25,020
The company detected the intrusion after a few months inform their customers of the data breach.

16
00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:34,990
And even paid millions in damages the attack however did not make the business collapse in the following

17
00:01:34,990 --> 00:01:39,670
year record sales and earnings were announced.

18
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:46,930
This means that we as customers can and will forgive a company when our transaction details including

19
00:01:46,930 --> 00:01:52,560
personal information are poorly protected or compromised.

20
00:01:52,660 --> 00:01:54,440
We'll return to this subject later.

21
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:05,620
STEPHEN LONG over Gonzales and other members of the conspiracy were arrested and charged pleaded guilty

22
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:08,870
and has to pay $170 million in restitution.

23
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:17,410
Albert Gonzalez as the brains and leader of the operation is serving a 25 year prison sentence and will

24
00:02:17,410 --> 00:02:20,170
have to pay $70 million in damages.

25
00:02:24,230 --> 00:02:29,250
Another story worth mentioning is the exploits connected to ads for Chinese penis enlargement pills

26
00:02:31,530 --> 00:02:36,770
a virus dubbed storm worm was created in 2007 and spread as an attachment to e-mails.

27
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:42,650
If it was launched the woman had a computer and merged it into a zombie net.

28
00:02:45,260 --> 00:02:47,990
Affected machines send penis enlargement spam Mad's

29
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:56,430
online and businesses are paid for redirected visitor clicks on one of the banners on a page

30
00:03:01,070 --> 00:03:04,730
storm creators made several thousand dollars a day in this way.

31
00:03:05,820 --> 00:03:09,240
And there was always the chance that someone would actually buy they advertise product

32
00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:14,730
a group behind the attack made funding them harder.

33
00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:20,210
Because it attacked the servers of all the anti-virus companies that blocked attachments containing

34
00:03:20,210 --> 00:03:24,810
the virus.

35
00:03:24,830 --> 00:03:27,770
That's it for an overview on different types of cyber criminals.
