Alternatively, crimeware may steal confidential or sensitive corporate information. Crimeware represents a growing problem in network security as many malicious code threats seek to pilfer confidential information. == Examples == Criminals use a variety of techniques to steal confidential data through crimeware, including through the following methods: * Surreptitiously install keystroke loggers to collect sensitive data—login and password information for online bank accounts, for example—and report them back to the thief.〔"(Cyberthieves Silently Copy Your Password )" ''(New York Times )''〕 * Redirect a user's web browser to a counterfeit website controlled by the thief even when the user types the website's proper domain name in the address bar. * Steal passwords cached on a user's system.〔''Symantec Internet Security Report'', Vol. IX, March 2006, p. 71〕 * Hijack a user session at a financial institution and drain the account without the user's knowledge. * Enable remote access into applications, allowing criminals to break into networks for malicious purposes. * Encrypt all data on a computer and require the user to pay a ransom to decrypt it (ransomware.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crimeware is a class of malware designed specifically to automate cybercrime.(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crimeware: Understanding New Attacks and Defenses )Crimeware (as distinct from spyware and adware) is designed to perpetrate identity theft through social engineering or technical stealth in order to access a computer user's financial and retail accounts for the purpose of taking funds from those accounts or completing unauthorized transactions that enrich the cyberthief.
