Semi annual report 2009/2
In its latest report, the Reporting and Analysis Centre for Information Assurance (MELANI) examines cybercriminal activities in the second half of 2009. The focus is on global information theft, politically-motivated hacking and blackmailing through the use of DDoS attacks. Cybercrime has many facets, ranging from data theft for the purposes of making money to hacking websites as a way of giving vent to political frustration. Those affected are companies, administrations and political parties. Even the federal administration has not been spared.
