eBay – a company that is entrusted with millions of people's personal data – is asking users to change their passwords in the wake of a cyber-attack that compromised encrypted passwords and other “non-financial” data.

Facebook users whose accounts that may be compromised will be offered antivirus scanning and removal from the site, using F-Secure and Trend Micro security.

Facebook has integrated new security capabilities into its abuse detection and prevention systems, so that users are immediately alerted when they log into their accounts from infected devices.

Facebook users' accounts and devices have the opportunity to utilize Trend Micro's free anti-virus tools to scan and clean their systems.

The hackers likely used a "spear phishing" attack to infiltrate eBay's systems, says JD Sherry, vice president for technology and solutions for Trend Micro, a computer security firm in Dallas, Tex.

Cybercriminals continuously discover more ways to successfully target new outlets for financial theft, according to Trend Micro. Greed is motivating cybercriminals to take a non-traditional approach in the selection of unlikely targets, such as advanced threats to Point-of-Sale (PoS) terminals and the exploitation of disasters.

Every now and then, phishers mount campaigns that simultaneously target users of different online services.

The volume of mobile malware and high-risk apps soared to over two million in the first quarter of 2014, a decade after the first proof-of-concept mobile malware but only six months since the one million milestone was reached, according to Trend Micro.

Some victims get lost in the details of the payment process and run out of time.

Perpetrators of a web-based phishing scheme are accepting any email credentials, most likely in a bid to speed up the arduous, yet typically more successful process of individually targeting a specific organization in order to steal account information.

The arrival of ransomware on the mobile scene is just the beginning of a gathering storm. "This is going to be massive," said Trend Micro VP JD Sherry.
