The techniques used by the modern cyber-criminal are truly scary. They’re backed by mafia, supported by nation states, and often even carried out by, or in conjunction with, rogue insiders. We are dealing with polymorphic malware, 100,000-computer strong botnets, drive-by-downloads, rootkits with anti-forensic capabilities conducted by adversaries who fear no U.S. law. The bad guys make certain their newest tricks are packed, encrypted, and undetectable by the most popular security products. We are long past the era of stereotypical sleep deprived teenage hackers hell bent on the “information wants to be free” philosophy, practicing a dark art.
