More on the Finjan study

Posted on June 18, 2008 by Dissent

Earlier today, I posted a link to a troubling Finjan study that found that crimeware was hitting major health-related organizations.   In his news report on the study, Jaikumar Vijayan of Computerworld writes, in part:

One trend Finjan has noted is an increased focus on trying to steal login credentials for Citrix applications. Technologies from Citirx Systems Inc. are being used by an increasing number of healthcare organizations to enable remote network access, Ben-Itzhak said, and stealing Citrix log-in credentials often allows data thieves to gain single sign-on access to a wide range of healthcare related information from inside hospital networks. The stolen data is used for a variety of scams such as fraudulent insurance claims, illegal purchases of prescription drugs, and medical ID theft.
