Arbutus Music – Sing Sea Songs and Beware – Cyber Attack

Also, there’s alarming news from the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA): you have “two weeks” to protect yourself from a major cyber-threat.

The warning came as the FBI, in partnership with authorities in several countries around the world, shut down a network of criminally operated computers that were stealing important information from victims’ machines.

If your computer does not run Windows, This does not affect you – but other problems might, so always keep your antivirus up to date.

If you are using Windows, then Gameover Zeus is a particularly nasty piece of malware – malicious software – that will fish around your computer for files that look like they may contain financial or other sensitive information. Once it finds them, it steals them.

The FBI has said that the criminals in this case used “phishing” emails to install Gameover Zeus on victims’ computers. A phishing email is one that looks like it came from somewhere official, like your bank, but didn’t – instead directing you to mistakenly download the malware.

The NCA has estimated that around 15,000 computers may currently be infected in the UK. Worldwide, it runs into the millions.

Those in the UK will be receiving correspondence from their internet service provider  soon, warning them that they are at risk. If you get one of these notices, you must act immediately.

But while the 15,000 figure is relatively low, this warning should not be ignored. Everyone should run a scan on their system.

GetSafeOnline.org – a government-backed initiative – published a list of downloads it recommends to run a sweep of your system and get into shape. Unfortunately, overwhelming traffic is causing the site to falter, and so people are also being directed to the UK Cyber Emergency Readiness Team (Cert) instead.

Users are recommended to take the following actions to address GOZ infections:

  • Use and maintain anti-virus software
  • Change your passwords
  • Keep your operating system and application software up-to-date
  • Use anti-malware tools
