Winning the fight, losing the war
summary
Case studies of real attacks: botnets using keyloggers to steal cards, a ransom Trojan (CryptoWall) encrypting files with RSA-2048 and demanding Bitcoin, and a traced ransom income of $300 million via blockchain wallets. A 36.5 million user AshleyMadison leak produces collateral victims; São Paulo supplies many banking Trojans. Practical defenses mentioned include device-controlled app models like the iPad and layered security architectures that survive multiple simultaneous failures.
