This document is intended for computer users who have deployed or plan to deploy a home wireless network.

Protecting Children On-line Guide

How to secure and defend the digital experience of your kids


This document is intended for family, parents and teachers and its purpose is to help secure the digital activities of kids and teens. In an age when the mass production and accessibility of computers have turned these devices into regular family or household commodities, children get familiar with PCs and Internet from a very fresh age. Despite its obvious communication-related benefits, the WWW can also be a hazardous place for kids, with e-threats directly targeting their age group and their home or school computers.

This e-Guide covers the main risks and dangers for kids on-line, such as cyber-bulling, exposure to inappropriate content, on-line addiction and other harmful online actions, while also focusing on topics such as malware, phishing, ID theft and spam, to which teenagers, just as any other Internet users, are exposed nowadays.

However, as this e-Guide shows through several case studies, there are several risks and dangers targeting directly silver surfers, such as pension delivery and fallacious tax paying methods or income-related scams. Examples, tips and advice complement the case studies and provide readers with useful guidelines in their daily on-line routine.



Preventing Data Breaches Guide

How to protect valuable ideas and assets from cyber-hacking


The e-guide was designed to cover the various potential sore points of business data safety, from the matter of the network's physical integrity to the complicated mechanisms of business targeted cybercrime (e.g. banker Trojans, phishing). This material is also intended to match, though not in as much detail as a full-fledged technical description, the features of the various consumer and business oriented Bitdefender solutions to the situations in which they might come in handy to IT administrators.

Consulting this document would be useful in the process of deciding what's best for small to medium-sized networks security and a solid basis for further comparative research on this subject.

Bitdefender E-Threats Landscape Reports

The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive investigation of the threats’ landscape. Bitdefender’s security experts thoroughly analyze and examine the menaces of the each semester, focusing on software vulnerabilities and exploits, different types of malware, as well as countermeasures, cyber crime prevention and law enforcement. The E-Threats Landscape Report concentrates mainly on the latest trends, but it also contains facts and data and concerning the previously investigated periods, as well as several predictions related to the upcoming semesters. This document is primarily intended for IT&C System’s Security Managers, System and Network Administrators, Security Technology Developers, Analysts, and Researchers, but it also addresses issues pertaining to a broader audience, like small organizations or individual users concerned about the safety and integrity of their networks and systems.

H2 2011 E-Threat Landscape Report - Overview

Twenty years ago, a revolutionary means of electronic communication was born. It would become so popular with all ages and professions that it is still the most used data communication mechanism even today: introducing the SMS – the short message service.

Today, mobile phones are more than bulky gadgets that can move voice and messages from one point to another: they are must-have gear in a World 2.0 – so powerful and so complex, running their own operating systems and, consequently, facing their share of cyber-trouble. While the first six months of 2011 were marked by software vulnerabilities and high-profile data breaches, the second half cast the spotlight on not only a new family of malware, but also uncovered a user espionage scandal that apparently involved an array of mobile phone carriers and the controversial software vendor CarrierIQ.

The malware landscape was dominated by Trojan.Autorun.Inf and Win32.Worm.Downadup, two malicious contenders that have roots in the Windows XP era, but managed to keep their places even though operating system upgrades or applying patches would have solved security issues exploited by these pieces of malware. The top contenders for H2 2011 are Trojan.AutorunInf, Win32.Worm.Downadup, and Exploit.CplLnk.

Data breaches attributed to the Anonymous gang and its satellite hacking groups continued throughout the second half of 2011. Among the most important targets were Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Adidas, RIM, Tiroler Gebietskrankenkasse, Nexon and even the United Nations. Corporate trust also came under close scrutiny, as the DigiNotar incident in H1 2011 exposed unwary users to a massive phishing attack that used stolen digital certificates generated for high-profile institutions and government agencies such as Google, Tor, CIA and Israel’s Secret Service, the Mossad.

Social networks have also played a key role in disseminating malware and spreading fake news about the deaths of high-profile personalities such as Muammar Gaddafi or Steve Jobs. Of particular importance were the malicious campaigns built around the alleged movie of Gaddafi’s execution and the commemorative giveaway in honor of the late Steve Jobs.
