DMSniff, Hackers continue to attack POS

A Point-of-Sale (POS) malware which uses a domain generation algorithm to create command-and-control domains on the fly was deployed in attacks against small and medium-sized businesses during the last past four years—since at least 2016—according to a team of security researchers from Flashpoint. It is named DMSniff and it is hard to detect.

Un malaware che attacca i POS (Poit-Of-Sale) e che utilizza un Domain Generation Algorithm (un algoritmo cioè che periodicamente genera un grande numero di nomi di dominio) per creare domini command-and-control. Il suo nome è DMSniff e secondo un team di ricercatori di Flashpoint sta attaccando business delle piccole e medie aziende sin dal 2016.
