For a few years now, October is designated "National Cyber Security Awareness Month". The target audience of the awareness month effort is mostly consumers. This year's motto is "the Internet is a shared resource and securing it is our Shared Responsibility".

We will feature a special diary each day in October in observance of cyber security awareness month. Realizing that our audience tends to be more technical, we are picking our own theme. This year, we picked "Standards and Security". Many standards have important security components, and we will try to illustrate how particular standards affect current attacks. One of the great things about our group of handlers is that we have a very diverse background, geographically and professionally. To take this diversity into account, we will interpret the term "standards" very widely. You will see diaries about ISO standards, IETF standards (RFCs), W3C standards and so on. If there is a particular standard you would like to see covered: Let us know. This is also a great opportunity for "guest articles" (or "guest diaries" as we call them). If you would like to write something, let us know. Send the topic, and maybe a brief outline first to see if it fits.

distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
