How monster.com was targeted
How monster.com was targeted by cyber crooks
• October. A program, called wnspoem, appears in hacker markets. It can sniff sensitive data from Windows internal memory.
• May. Wnspoem appears for sale in kits that inject the computer code via weaknesses in programs such as WinZip and QuickTime.
• June. Crooks begin sending out e-mails asking recipients to click on a Web link for services offered by Monster. They also post pop-up ads on Monster. Clicking on the link injects wnspoem.
• July. Crooks collect the username and password for a company recruiter who patronizes Monster, allowing them to download contact information for 1.3 million job candidates.
• August. The crooks send another round of e-mail scams to target job seekers for infection.
How to protect yourself: Keep security patches, anti-virus and firewall updated. Be suspicious of any e-mail or Web ad that asks you to click on Web link, no matter how convincing.
