RAM SCRAPERS

AND THE FOX SAYS: "HUH?"








It has been determined that the POS (Point-of-Sale) computers at Target were infected with Malware, which in turn caused the breach of security that allowed over 70 million people have their credit/debit card information stolen.

Security experts determined that the Malware included "Ram Scrapers". What is a Ram Scraper you ask?

"A RAM scraper is a specific type of malware which targets information stored in memory, as opposed to information saved on the hard drive or being transmitted over the network."

If you own a business with a POS computer (and most do), perhaps you should read an article from PCMAG.com's website. You can find it HERE.

'Nuff Said,
