KrebsonSecurity has the latest info on the latest attacks on HomeDepot
And this image was pointed to by the malware code
which means it is not only a financial attack on HomeDepot, but it is also a political attack.
Here are Brian Kreb’s words themselves:
“In the wake of the Target breach, I traced a long list of clues from Rescator’s various online identities back to a young programmer in Odessa, Ukraine. In his many personas, Rescator identified himself as a member of the Lampeduza cybercrime forum, and indeed this site is where he alerts customers about new batches of stolen cards.”
this “Rescator” is an anti-American, anti-west criminal.
It seems we need to shore up our security defenses to prevent criminals and anti-west terrorists from destroying our way of life
