hackers send e-mails containing a malware program to bank employees.lls programs that record computer keystrokes and takes screen shots of bank computers. the hackers can then figure out the bank's inner workings and eventually how to remotely control the bank's computers. the hackers can then transfer money or make e-payments into fraudulent bank accounts, or even direct atms to spit out money at whatever time and place they choose. this full report comes out tomorrow but joining us tonight is chris doggett. he is the managing director of kaspersky north america, he joins us from boston. f chris, thank you for being with us. first i want to ask you, how did you discover this? >> well, we first got involved in investigating karbanak when a bank in kiev called us up, they discovered an external connection to a the server in china, which shouldn't be there, and they knew they needed help so we sent in a forensics team. >> that is the malware you are talking about. chris, are american banks involved? >> we think that there may bee american banks involved,

hackers installed spying malware able to mimic bank employee work flows and that malware was used to hack information to transfer money to the thieves' own bank accounts and the attacks are still active as we talk. we'll have more on this threat coming up in about 20 minutes. they'll have to explain to me once again how does this work and how did they let it going on for so long? >> the shooter in the weekend attacks in denmark might have had help. two men accused of helping him hide after his deadly rampage. in one of those attacks a jewish man killed outside a synagogue. now benjamin netanyahu calls on european jews to move to israel. you're driving along, having a perfectly nice day, when out of nowhere a pick-up truck slams into your brand new car. one second it wasn't there and the next second... boom! you've had your first accident. now you have to make your first claim. so you talk to your insurance company and... boom! you're blindsided for a second time. they won't give you enough money to replace your brand new car. don't those people know you're already shaken up? liberty

what is this malware? >> yeah so tony thanks again for having me.his is a very sophisticated attack. basically what happened was -- and i'm going to speak mostly about -- i'm very familiar with what happened to the ukrainian and russia banks, and have seen the report. probably last summer a lot of what we call spear fishing attacks, emailed directed at employees of the bank were coming in and had attachment saying urgent federal mandate. so the employees opened the emails and they were word documents with known vulnerabilities, and had the malware installed. and it executed and let it move throughout the system and it's a remote access malware that allowed them to go in and learn about the environment. so these fraud servers -- i do believe you are right. this seems to be financial gain here. they basically were able to look another the entire architecture of these banks, and learn about where their atm's were where their swift networks were and looking at the video feeds. they sat on this data for about six months really figuring out how to do this

there's more mobile malware out there than we've ever seen before. actually the last five years, we've seen an increase of mobile malware by 10,000 percent. we need to appreciate that very few members of society have anti-malware security on their mobile devices. yet they're using them for payment instruments now. highly problematic. all business leaders need to focus on their mobile security strategies and their cloud security strategies. >> we're all working on the weekends through our phone and laptop. great to have all of you. thank you so much. tom, pete, dave, thank you for getting on the phone right after that meeting. we truly appreciate it. let's take a quick look at what's happening with the markets. the s&p hit a new intraday record earlier. the russell 2000 hit a record high. the number to watch for the s&p is 2090. 2090. watch that. we're two points, three points above that at the moment. every second of the show matters. your money is at stake. the closing bell is ringing in 47 minutes. thinking about tackling your wild garden when the

so in the past we would see malware that would steal passwords and credit card numbers but we've never seemed something designed to physically destroy a century leap out of the digital world into the physical realm and have kinetic activity. that was the first thing that made stuxnet unique. other than that it was sophisticated. it was designed to increase and slow the speed of the centrifuges. while it was doing that it also did this remarkable trick which was to make the operators of the plant think that the operations were perfectly normal for so what it did was it recorded normal activity on the computers first and then a playback that normal activity to the monitoring machines when stuxnet was actually going to sabotage. that was something remarkable about it. one more thing was that stuxnet used what are called zero days, five and zero days to spread. is a vulnerability that is unknown to the software vendor so, therefore, no path exists. zero days didn't be fairly rare and they are also time-consuming and expensive to find for the vulnerabilities and also develop exploits for th
