Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Hackers are continually developing new tools and techniques that enable them to steal
more data. They experiment with new attack vectors, or ways of attacking a target. In the data
breach that occurred at Target Corporation in late 2013, attackers first purchased malware
designed specifically for the attacks they planned to carry out. They then used spear phishing, or
a targeted phishing attack, to infect a Target third party vendor's system and gather keystrokes,
login credentials, and screenshots from the vendor's users. The attackers used this information to
gain access into Target's internal network. Once inside Target's network, the attackers
compromised an internal Windows file server. From this server, the attackers used malware
named Trojan.POSRAM to extract customer data from point-of-sale (POS) terminals. Customer
data was continuously sent from the POS terminals to an extraction server within Target's
network. It was then funneled out of Target's network to drop servers in Russia, Brazil, and
Miami. From there, the data was collected and sold on the black market.
