Abstract

Social malware poses a serious threat to administrative departments that deal with financial transactions. The accounts payable departments of academic institutions are especially vulnerable. The use of social malware exploits our lack of general awareness. The presence of excessive amounts of publicly available information can be used against an institution to plot malicious attacks using only social engineering tricks. Administrative departments should plan and work to prevent these attacks by educating their employees about such problems and making information as private as possible without hindering their institutional functions. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a social malware attack on an accounts payable department. This paper also suggests how accounts payable departments can work to defend themselves against these kinds of social malware attacks.

将您的名字从列表中删除:保护管理部门免受社交恶意软件的危害
社交恶意软件对处理金融交易的行政部门构成严重威胁。学术机构的应付账款部门尤其脆弱。社交恶意软件的使用利用了我们缺乏普遍意识。存在过多的公开可用信息可以用来针对机构,仅使用社会工程技巧来策划恶意攻击。行政部门应该计划并努力防止这些攻击,教育他们的员工了解这些问题,并在不妨碍其机构职能的情况下尽可能保密信息。本文的目标是演示社会恶意软件攻击应付账款部门的有效性。本文还建议了应付账款部门如何保护自己免受这些类型的社交恶意软件攻击。
