Traffic Distribution Systems at the Heart of Cybercrime - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

In mainstream media, cybercriminals are often portrayed as exotic figures that employ dark arts of computer programming to disrupt social order. Realistically, many of them function like a typical e-commerce business and much of their operation mirror those of online advertising networks. To thrive in the cybercrime industry, they require a continuous stream of web traffic to their malicious infrastructure. A practical way of achieving this is by partnering with web traffic brokers. Such entities play a key role in fueling cybercrime because they feed downstream threat actors with potential victims. VexTrio, a web traffic broker and malicious content creator, is responsible for driving victim traffic to a large number of cyber criminals. Join Infoblox’s Head of Threat Intelligence, Renée Burton, for an in-depth discussion with researchers Christopher Kim and Randy McEoin, who will discuss new research on VexTrio and its role in the cybercrime economy as a traffic distribution system (TDS).
