Over 90% of Enterprises Exposed to Man-in-the-Browser Attacks: Cisco

By Eduard Kovacs on August 05, 2014 Cisco released on Tuesday its Midyear Security Report which analyzes threat intelligence and cybersecurity trends for the first half of 2014.
After analyzing malicious traffic from its customers' networks, the company determined that roughly 94 percent of them have issued DNS requests to hostnames with IP addresses associated with the distribution of malware that incorporates man-in-the-browser (MitB) functionality, such as Zeus, Palevo and SpyEye.
As part of its Inside Out project, in which researchers examine DNS lookups originating from inside corporate networks, Cisco has found that close to 70 percent of its customers have issued DNS queries for Dynamic DNS (DDNS) domains. DDNS is a legitimate technology, but just like many others, it can be abused by cybercriminals. While this traffic doesn't necessarily mean that the organizations' systems have been compromised, it could indicate botnet activity.
