Internet experts say that a group of hackers has been routinely intercepting web traffic in at least 150 cities in the world and diverting to external equipment, thus putting at risk the data of the victims.
While the NSA, according to documents leaked by the CIA extécnico Edward Snowden, is able to bypass the system more sophisticated cryptographic protection of Internet information, the method of attack Renesys identified by an internet intelligence company, is entirely. Renesys ensures that detected in the global computer networks a complex type of attack 'Man-in-the-Middle', which occurs when a hacker can read, insert and modify at will messages between two people without any of them realize that the link between them has been violated. In the incidents described in a report published by Renesys last month, the company said that data from major financial institutions, government agencies and service providers Internet are committed because a group of unidentified hackers managed to intercept information . The method of attack exploits a vulnerability in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP, for its acronym in English), a protocol used to exchange information between a group of IP networks that have a policy of independent routes. Renesys indicates that hackers are taking advantage of the lack of security of the protocol and, therefore, are able to intercept data. The company says that the main victims that they detected were 150 users U.S. cities, Iran, South Korea, Libya and Germany who probably never knew that their communications were secretly diverted to unintended recipients. "Everyone undoubtedly the world's largest suppliers, banks or companies processing credit card and government agencies should now be monitoring the global routing prefix IP" advised Jim Cowie, co-founder of Renesys.
