Anatomy of a Data Breach – Initial Entry
SANS 2009 Cyber Security Risk Report • Client side software vulnerabilities
• Commonly used programs such as Adobe PDF Reader, QuickTime, Adobe Flash and Microsoft Office
• Internet facing websites (> 60% of total Internet attack attempts)• Web application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and Cross-
Site Scripting flaws in open-source as well as custom-built applications account for more than 80% of the vulnerabilities being discovered.
Attack Vectors:• Email Phishing• Drive by Downloads

Michigan Company Sues Bank
Michigan company is suing its bank after cyber thieves allegedly made fraudulent wire transfers totaling US $560,000.
The cyber thieves obtained the banking account credentials through a phishing
email sent to an employee at EMI.
The transactions wired funds to bank accounts in Russia, Estonia, Scotland,
Finland, China and the US and were withdrawn soon after the deposits were made.
Alleges Comerica's security practices made EMI vulnerable to the phishing attack. The
bank allegedly routinely sent its online customers emails with links asking them to submit
information to renew digital certificates.
Also alleges that the bank failed to notice unusual activity. Until the fraudulent transactions were made, EMI had made just two
wire transfers ever; in just a three-hour period, 47 wire transfers and 12
transfer of fund requests were made.
In addition, after EMI became aware of the situation and asked the bank to halt
transactions, the bank allegedly failed to do so until 38 more had been initiated.

Bank Sues Customer for ACH Fraud???
A Texas bank is suing commercial banking customers
Cyber thieves made a series of ACH transactions that totaled $801,495 from
Hillary Machinery Inc.'s bank account.
The bank was able to retrieve about $600,000 of the money,
Customer subsequently sent a letter requesting that the bank refund the
remaining $200,000,
Bank responded by filing the lawsuit requesting that the court certify that Banks's
security was in fact reasonable, and that it processed the wire transfers in good faith.
Documents filed with the court allege that the fraudulent transactions were
initiated using the defendant's valid online banking credentials.

Incident Response – Investigative ConclusionsWindow of Data Exposure
While attackers were still on systems an average of 156 days before being detected, elimination of stored data greatly reduces the data loss exposure.

Conclusions
• Attackers are using old vulnerabilities
• Attackers are using new vulnerabilities (not a contradiction!)
• Attackers know they won’t be detected
• Organizations do not know what they own or how their data flows
• Blind trust in 3rd parties is a huge liability
• Fixing new/buzz issues, but not fixing basic/old issues
• In 2010, take a step back before moving forward

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
PCI DSS requirements
Build and maintain a secure network
1. Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data2. Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters
Protect cardholder data3. Protect stored cardholder data4. Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks
Maintain a vulnerability management program
5. Use and regularly update anti-virus software or programs6. Develop and maintain secure systems and applications
Implement strong access control measures
7. Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know8. Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access9. Restrict physical access to cardholder data
Regularly monitor and test networks
10. Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data11. Regularly test security systems and processes
Maintain an information security policy 12. Maintain a policy that addresses information security for employees and contractors
Six Goals, Twelve Requirements
Confidential
Why the PCI-DSS is Successful?
Increased awarenessFocus on protection of cardholder dataStandardized controls accepted by all card brandsEradication of prohibited data storageContinual improvements and updates to the standard
• Evolution of the standard• Based on information gathered and trends identified in
post-compromise forensic investigations

Best Practices Checklist
Have you tested security?
Are your SSL or EV SSL certificates valid and not expiring during the holiday season?
Are your Web site seals valid and up to date?
Have you obtained all patches and are the patches up-to-date?
Do you know what and who are using your network?
