Salami attack in cyber security

1. E-Mail Spoofing A spoofed E-Mail is one that appears to originate from one source but actually has been sent from another source. For example, let us say, Roopa has an E-Mail address 2. Spamming People who create electronic Spam are called spammers. Spam is the abuse of electronic messages systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. Although the most widely recognized form of Spam is E-Mail Spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging Spam, Usenet newsgroup Spam, web search engine Spam, Spam in blogs, wiki Spam, online classified ads Spam, mobile phone messaging Spam, Internet forum Spam, junk fax transmissions, social networking Spam, file sharing network Spam, video sharing sites, etc. 3. Internet Time Theft Such a theft occurs when an unauthorized person uses the Internet hours paid for by another person. Basically, Internet time theft comes under hacking because the person who gets access to someone else's ISP user ID and password, either by hacking or by gaining access to it by illegal means, uses it to access the Internet without the other person's knowledge. However, one can identify time theft if the Internet time has to be recharged often,even when one's own use of the Internet is not frequent. The issue of Internet time theft is related to the crimes conducted through "identity theft." 4. Salami Attack/Salami Technique These attacks are used for committi...

This type of scam is also known as a “salami attack.” Introduction A salami attack is a type of cybercrime that involves the theft of small amounts of money from a large number of accounts, often over a long period of time. It is named after the method of slicing thin slices of salami, as the thief is able to steal small amounts of money from many accounts without being noticed. These attacks can be difficult to detect and can have serious consequences for individuals and organizations. In this article, we will discuss what a salami attack is, how it works, and what you can do to protect yourself from these types of attacks. What is Salami Attack?

There are different types of network attacks aimed at three pillars of Network Security; Network Attacks against Confidentiality Attackers can use many methods to compromise confidentiality. Following are some of the common methods: Packet Capturing (Packet Sniffing): Packet Capturing (Packet Sniffing) is a type of network attack where the attacker capture the data packets (typically Password Attacks: Password based attacks are used to hack the passwords of users of a target computer to gain access. Two types of password attacks are dictionary based attack (where an attacker tries each of the words in a dictionary or commonly used passwords to hack the user password) and brute force attack (where an attacker tries every single possible password combinations using Brute Force hacking tools to hack the user password). Port Scanning and Ping Sweeps: Port Scanning is a type of network attack, where the attacker tries to discover the services running on a target computer by scanning the A ping sweep is another kind of network attack where the intruder sends ping Dumpster Diving: Dumpster diving is searching through company dumpsters for any information that can be useful for an attacker for attacking the network. Example: Serching for employee names, Software application product information, network infrastructure device make and models etc. Wiretapping: Wiretapping is a type of network attack where the attacker hacks the telecommunication devices listen to the phone calls of oth...

Can someone give a clear definition of a Salami Attack? In the book Security in Computing (4th Edition) by Charles P. Pfleeger. It is stated as a attack to data integrity and I quote the passage: Data Integrity Stealing, buying, finding, or hearing data requires no computer sophistication, whereas modifying or fabricating new data requires some understanding of the technology by which the data are transmitted or stored, as well as the format in which the data are maintained. Thus, a higher level The most common sources of this kind of problem are malicious programs, errant file system utilities, and flawed communication facilities.Data are especially vulnerable to modification. Small and skillfully done modifications may not be detected in ordinary ways. For instance, we saw in our truncated interest example that a criminal can perform what is known as a salami attack: The crook shaves a little from many accounts and puts these shavings together to form a valuable result, like the meat scraps joined in a salami. Can someone give me a better definition of What is a Salami Attack? And what are the Methods to prevent it? Nope, I don't think @munkeyoto has got the right idea. The following passage is from Bruce Schneier's Secret And Lies. There’s the so-called salami attack of stealing the fractions of pennies, one slice at a time, from everyone’s interest-bearing accounts; this is a beautiful example of something that just would not have been possible without computers. A sal...

Phishing is a technique widely used by cyber threat actors to lure potential victims into unknowingly taking harmful actions. This popular attack vector is undoubtedly the most common form of social engineering—the art of manipulating people to give up confidential information— because phishing is simple and effective. Scammers launch thousands of phishing attacks every day, and they’re often successful. In this guide • • • • What is phishing? In the 1990s, it was common for hackers to be called Phreaks. What passed for hacking in those days was referred to as phreaking. So, the act of using a lure—a more or less authentic-looking email—to catch or trick an unsuspecting computer user adopted the “ph” from phreaking to replace the “f” in fishing and became modern-day phishing. Today the most common type of fraudulent communication used in a phishing attack is still email, but other forms of communication such as SMS text messages are becoming more frequent. Threat actors use any means they can conceive to get a user to follow a link to an illegitimate webpage and enter their computer or banking system login credentials or download malware. In a modern phishing attack, a threat actor uses skillful social human interaction to steal or compromise sensitive information about an organization or its computer systems. A recent Phishing scams are often the “tip of the spear” or the first part of an attack to hit a target. The attack may be aimed at stealing login credentials or be ...
