| Summary |
Hackers gained access to the Heartbreak Café restaurant network by guessing or "cracking" the RPA communication program (remote desktop software) passwords or by using malware to penetrate the firewall. Once in, they downloaded logging software to harvest card data from disk or volatile (e.g., RAM) storage or as it traversed the network. They also downloaded crimeware for creating a backdoor (bypassing normal authentication for future access) and posting the card data collected from the logging software onto Internet dump sites where it was accessed by criminals for manufacturing counterfeit credit cards. The goal of this case study scenario is for students to gain a solid understanding of the importance as well as the basic components of payment card and network security |
