Abstract

Zlonamjerni ili zloćudni softver programski je specijalizirano napravljen kod čija je svrha infiltracija u računalne sustave bez korisnikova pristanka. Najčešće čine štetu korisniku. Današnji su mobilni terminalni uređaji dostupni, sveprisutni, jednostavno se koriste i česta su meta zlonamjernog softvera koji mogu biti ozbiljna sigurnosna prijetnja. Brzo širenje i sve veća dostupnost tehnologija koja se koristi u svijetu mobilnih uređaja i komunikacija, povećava se mogućnost napada pa korisnici postaju meta hakera. Uz povećanje broja korisnika mobilnih uređaja povećava se uporaba usluga vezanih uz e-mail poštu, audio i video komunikaciju, internetsko bankarstvo itd. Sve te aplikacije podrazumijevaju stalnu povezanost sustava s mrežom, što povećava mogućnosti napada. Izazov je to za identifikaciju te kategorizaciju prijetnje kako bi se uspješno zaštitili uređaji i ublažila moguća šteta za krajnje korisnike. Kibernetički kriminal prati tehnološku evoluciju te konstantnim razvojem novih oblika napada i tehnika omogućava prodiranje i u složenije sustave. Tako se čine značajne štete, a pritom počinitelji često ne budu otkriveni. Kako bi se napadi prevenirali, krajnje je korisnike nužno stalno informirati o zlonamjernom softveru, opasnostima kojim je izložen korisnik i o mogućnostima zaštite.

Abstract (english)

Malicious software is a specialized software program designed to infiltrate computer systems without user consent. Most commonly they are harming the user. Today’s mobile terminal devices are available, omnipresent, easy to use and are often a target of malicious software that can be a serious security threat. The rapid spread and the increasing availability of technology that is used in the world of mobile devices and communications, the possibility to be attacked is increased so users become a target for hackers. With the increasing number of users of mobile devices, their usage of e-mail, audio and video communications, Internet banking etc., is also increasing. All of these applications imply permanent network connectivity, which increases attack capabilities. It is the challenge for identification and threat categorization to successfully protect devices and mitigating possible damage for end users. A cybercrime accompanies technological evolution and the constant development of the new forms of attacks and techniques allows penetration into more complex systems. This is how significant damages are made, while perpetrators are not often disclosed. In order to prevent attacks, end users need to be constantly informed about the malicious software, the dangers to which the users is exposed and the possibilities of protection.
