Use malicious code against Internet crime

What will happen if we use malicious code to counteract those who created it? The strategy of taking poison poisoning is effective in this case.

German police officials are currently very interested in the idea of designing software tools to help them monitor computers of suspects involved in illegal activities.

Essentially a software tool like this is no different from the malicious code commonly used in phishing attacks or information theft with the ability to record keystrokes, login account password names import .

Meanwhile, security companies are not very keen on this idea and claim their anti-malware application will never ignore the "malicious code" installed by the authorities themselves on PC users. .

Use malicious code against Internet crime Picture 1 Magnus Kalkuhl - a virus analyst with Kaspersky Lab - said on March 15 that Germany recently confirmed the plan to spend $ 264,000 on the idea of "poisoning poison". That source of funding will be used to finance the development of two such software programs. This project is called "Federal Trojan" (Federal Trojan).

But the German court is questioning whether the use of that technology is in accordance with current law because users simply won't know they are being monitored by the agency itself.

Germany's Chaos Computer Club last month also voiced opposition to the government's program and announced that such surveillance is a serious violation of human rights.

In fact, it seems that the German government's project is difficult to implement because Internet criminals know how to attack others, they also know how to protect themselves. There is no shortage of antivirus software available in the market. Especially when security companies claim not to exclude government software.

Although forced, Kaspersky never changed his security software to allow "police codes" to infect users' PCs. That violates the company's product development guidelines, Kalkuhl said.

Mikko Hypponen - research director of security firm F-Secure - said his company has the same opinion as Kaspersky.
