What is the 42 1 event?
The 42 1 incident refers to March 3 1 8, when a group of hackers attacked the network system of a bank, resulting in the theft of all accounts of the bank, resulting in trillions of dollars in losses. This attack is known as one of the largest hacking attacks in the history of the network.
Attack process
It is understood that this attack was initiated by a group of hackers from Eastern Europe. Before the attack, hackers obtained the bank employees' accounts and passwords through phishing and other means. Then, hackers used these accounts and passwords to enter the bank's internal network system.
After entering the system, hackers began to exploit vulnerabilities and implant malicious code into the server of the bank. These malicious codes can steal the account information of bank customers and send this information to the hacker's server.
How to prevent similar attacks?
1. Strengthen employees' safety awareness
Bank employees are the first line of defense for bank network security. Therefore, banks should strengthen the safety awareness education of employees, so that employees can fully realize the importance of network security, and at the same time, educate employees how to protect their account numbers and passwords.
2. Strengthen network security protection
Banks should strengthen network security protection and encrypt and protect their servers and networks. At the same time, banks should also scan and repair the network system regularly to ensure the security of the network system.
3. Strengthen supervision and legal system.
The government should strengthen the supervision of bank network security, formulate corresponding legal systems, and crack down and punish illegal acts such as hacker attacks.
