Hackers using Camera Phones!
Identity TheftHackers steal sensitive data using digital cameras. Following a spate of reports about Bluetooth and iPods devices being used to steal sensitive data from organizations, businesses are now urged to be vigilant as hackers use digital cameras to sidestep security measures. “Camsnuffling,” is being used by computer attackers to extract and store data with the help of digital camera. The digital camera device, just like iPod and Bluetooth, is a simple digital storage device. Hence, simply plugging it into a computer’s USB can allow
hackers to obtain sensitive data. “This is a very difficult issue to manage and a real threat to business continuity and data security,”
according Ian Callens, of computer services company Icomm Technologies. “There are, however, steps that can be taken to reduce rogue behavior,” said Callens. “Firstly, regularly change system passwords that employ both letters and numerals. Secondly, issue internal memo’s to ask all to be vigilant, stating that observations are being undertaken. Thirdly, consider adopting specific software to monitor activity to actively manage the access rights to removable storage devices. This should ensure that business productivity is not affected, while actively guarding against the removal of data or the introduction of inappropriate or malicious content to the network,” said Callens.
