FBI Stings German Hackers
Documents obtained by a German public radio station show that the
DarkMarket carder forum was actually a US FBI sting operation.
The site was used as a haven to buy and sell card information,
other financial account data and devices used to make cloned cards.
The site operated for nearly two years and helped gather intelligence
that led to at least 56 arrests and prevented the loss of millions
of dollars to fraud.
Oct 10, 2008 World Bank Hacked...
The World Bank Group's computer network was reported to have come under attack about half a dozen times since the middle of 2007. Reports say that a minimum of 18 servers were compromised.
A spokesman for the World Bank said "at no point in time was any sensitive information accessed." We have to question though how they can be confident of that statement. It seems likely that if hackers compromised over 18 servers over multiple instances, that at some point they got something out of it.
A team of highly skilled developers and security professionals were involved in assembling one of the most comprehensive new security tools available today.
Colossus is the product of a belief that people make the difference in a company. Gloabally recogised experts in Penetration Testing formulated the algorithms that Colossus uses to 'think its way through a test'. User interface experts, made the experience of using Colossus intuitive, and people highly skilled in report writing and metric analysis designed the report production system which is the most flexible and accuate on the market today.
