We have spent a couple of weeks seeing how a couple of accounts from different content creators are going down, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, are just some of the networks that have presented some problems, but is it a direct security failure of social networks? ? In this post we will explain how these almost massive attacks are being carried out.<\/p>\n

Ever since the Internet existed, it has been a door for downloading different types of programs, from paid software to free software, and as always, you cannot miss a program that has been modified to be used by removing the restrictions and releasing it to the public. , this is known as \u201ccrack\u201d. A crack allows you to get rid of the limitations, thus allowing you to avoid paying for a program, but this is not a good practice at all, since it is well known that security problems love this practice. The Trojan Horse is a clear example of how these released software works, they offer you something for free, which you should pay for a license, and in exchange, they install malware on your computer.<\/p>\n

And here an interesting question arises, how come antiviruses do not detect these malicious programs? Antiviruses have the mission of defending us from different types of attacks, but these are increasingly being created with more ingenuity, operating silently, trying to avoid being detected, but if a user downloads a crack, it will not allow him to be installed on the computer until deactivating the antivirus, and this is the first step to suffer a large-scale attack.<\/p>\n

Let's take the following case, you want to look for a crack of a program, and you find the following results:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"

With this, you can already see that there are many links offering the solution to your problem, we download the program or crack in question, but when you want to install, it is likely that the antivirus launches an alert.<\/p>\n

\"\"

So, it is when the war has already happened, if there are saved passwords in your browser, it is likely that they are already in the hands of cybercriminals.<\/p>\n

Here we explain the way the attackers use:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a database of different people who have been hacked, using the stolen cookie files, when the infection occurs, the files that the cybercriminals seek to obtain on your computers are the cookies, the same ones that the browser asks you from time to time if you want to accept, and the ones that some cleaners like ccleaner kindly offer to delete.<\/p>\n

Once they are stolen, they go through a cookie checker, in order to identify which service or application they correspond to, thus generating a large number of cookies from different services.<\/p>\n

The filters allow you to know a lot of information about the accounts, such as, for example, the number of subscribers or followers, the number of videos uploaded, or if there is any associated payment method, to use them is done as follows:<\/p>\n

For a Twich account, for example, they open the web, and with a cookie manager, the cookies obtained from the victim are imported.<\/p>\n

\"\"

These managers can be downloaded from the internet without any restrictions, and they have different types of uses, we must make it clear that they are tools, but they are misused in the end.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Once the cookie is imported, a window is displayed informing that you are ready, the page is refreshed and that's it.<\/p>\n

\"\"

You are already inside the channel of the person who was the victim at some point, having access to everything you need, in addition, complementing this theft with stealing browser passwords, in some cases there is not much to do.<\/p>\n

This has happened to many content creators, as we indicated at the beginning, even creators of cybersecurity issues have been affected, to avoid it, we leave you with a list of recommendations to follow and not fall into these traps .<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Never download pirated programs<\/li>\n
  2. Do not disable your antivirus to install any program<\/li>\n
  3. If you have doubts about a software or link, you can pass it through online scanners such as virustotal.com<\/li>\n
  4. Delete your browser cookies frequently, either manually or with a program<\/li>\n
  5. Try as much as possible to never save passwords in your browser.<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

    Llevamos un par de semanas, viendo c\u00f3mo van cayendo un par de cuentas de diferentes creadores de contenido, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, son solo algunas de las redes que han presentado algunos problemas, pero \u00bfes un fallo de seguridad directo de las redes sociales? En este post explicaremos c\u00f3mo se est\u00e1n realizando estos ataques casi masivos. Desde que existe internet, ha sido una puerta para la descarga de diferentes tipos de programas, desde software de pagos, hasta software gratuitos, y como siempre, no puede faltar alg\u00fan programa que haya sido modificado para ser utilizado quit\u00e1ndole las restricciones y liber\u00e1ndolo al p\u00fablico, esto se conoce como \u201ccrack\u201d. Un crack, te permite librarte de las limitantes, permiti\u00e9ndote as\u00ed evitar pagar por un programa, pero esto, no es para nada una buena pr\u00e1ctica, ya que es bien sabido que los problemas de seguridad les encanta esta pr\u00e1ctica. El Caballo de Troya, es un claro ejemplo de c\u00f3mo funcionan estos softwares liberados, te ofrecen algo gratis, que debieses pagar una licencia, y a cambio, te instalan un malware en el equipo. Y aqu\u00ed nace una interesante pregunta, \u00bfc\u00f3mo es que los antivirus no detectan estos programas maliciosos? Los antivirus tienen como misi\u00f3n defendernos de diferentes tipos de ataques, pero estos, cada vez son creados con m\u00e1s ingenio, operando de formas silenciosas, tratando de evitar ser detectados, pero, si es que un usuario baja un crack, este no le permitir\u00e1 ser instalado en el equipo hasta desactivar el antivirus, y este es el primer paso para sufrir un ataque a gran escala. Pongamos el siguiente caso, quieres buscar un crack de un programa, y encuentras los siguientes resultados: Con esto, ya puedes ver que existen muchos enlaces ofreciendo la soluci\u00f3n a tu problema, bajamos el programa o crack en cuesti\u00f3n, pero al momento de querer instalar, es probable que el antivirus lance alguna alerta. Entonces, es cuando la guerra ya ocurri\u00f3, si existen contrase\u00f1as guardadas en tu navegador, es probable que ya est\u00e9n en manos de cibercriminales. Ac\u00e1 explicamos el modo que utilizan los atacantes: Esta es una base de datos de diferentes personas que han sido hackeadas, utilizando los archivos cookies robadas, cuando se produce la infecci\u00f3n, los archivos que los cibercriminales buscan obtener en tus equipos son las cookies, las mismas que te pregunta el navegador cada cierto tiempo si desea aceptar, y las que algunos limpiadores como ccleaner ofrecen amablemente borrar. Una vez son robadas, estas pasan por un checker de cookies, para poder identificar a qu\u00e9 servicio o aplicaci\u00f3n corresponden, generando as\u00ed una gran cantidad de cookies de diferentes servicios. Los filtros, permiten saber mucha informaci\u00f3n sobre las cuentas, como, por ejemplo, cantidad de suscriptores, o seguidores, cantidad de videos subidos, o si existe alg\u00fan m\u00e9todo de pago asociado, para hacer uso de ellos se realiza de la siguiente forma: Para una cuenta de Twich, por ejemplo, abren la web, y con alg\u00fan manager de cookies, se realiza la importaci\u00f3n de las cookies obtenidas de la v\u00edctima. Estos m\u00e1nager pueden ser descargados de internet sin ninguna restricci\u00f3n, y tienen diferentes tipos de usos, debemos dejar en claro que son herramientas, pero mal utilizadas al final. Una vez importada la cookie, se muestra una ventana informando que est\u00e1s ya est\u00e1n listas, se refresca la p\u00e1gina y listo. Ya est\u00e1s dentro del canal de quien en alg\u00fan momento fue la v\u00edctima, teniendo acceso a todo lo que necesites, adem\u00e1s, complementando este robo con sustraer las contrase\u00f1as del navegador, en algunos casos ya no hay mucho que hacer. Esto les ha ocurrido a muchos creadores, de contenido, tal y como lo indicamos al principio, incluso, creadores de temas de ciberseguridad se han visto afectados, para evitarlo, es que les dejamos una lista de recomendaciones a seguir y no caer en estas trampas. Nunca descargue programas pirateados No desactive su antivirus para instalar ning\u00fan programa Si tiene dudas sobre un software o enlace, puede pasarlo por escaners online como virustotal.com Elimine frecuentemente sus cookies del navegador, ya sea manual o con alg\u00fan programa Intente en lo posible, nunca guardar contrase\u00f1as en su navegador.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":869,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[8,15,9],"class_list":["post-864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cut-security","tag-ciberseguridad","tag-creadores-de-contenido","tag-hacking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grupotech.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grupotech.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grupotech.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grupotech.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grupotech.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=864"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/grupotech.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":868,"href":"https:\/\/grupotech.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864\/revisions\/868"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grupotech.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grupotech.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grupotech.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grupotech.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
