Ebay Hackers switch from Windows to Linux !!

Ebay has reported that hackers are now using root kitted Linux devices as opposed to their earlier M.O. of using root kitted Microsoft machines. Hackers have realized that the Linux machines allow them to execute more sophisticated attacks on specific networks or on the general public.

But what is most significant about this news is that the hacker switch from Linux to Windows represents a real shift in the mindset of probably the most dedicated and goal oriented computer users on the planet, namely hackers. Imagine if all automobile mechanics switched from Craftsman to Stanley tools and you get the idea !! Windows could really be on the rocks if other groups of hackers duplicate this trend.

CCSP, MCSE, MCSA all these certifications deal with IT and network security in some way or another. One of the biggest areas for job opportunities in information technology are in information and network security.

Every month we read about major thefts of social security numbers, personal information and even credit card info being accessed by hackers and other cyber thieves. And these are just the ones that we know about , imagine the number of cyber thefts that go unreported.

Corporations and government institutions face liability and loss of business because they cannot protect the information that is in their custody. Naturally this leads to a big demand for IT professionals who can provide network security solutions and information security solutions for government and corporate institutions.

Salaries for IT professionals who specialize in providing network security and information security are high. Salaries range from the $65, 000 to $85, 000 per year and even higher. So consider getting the security specialization added to your current IT certification. The future of IT lies in security specialization. Don't believe me just keep an eye on the news!!!
