Cyber attackers are infiltrating networks and evading detection by hijacking the infrastructure of major corporations and using it against them besides exploiting vulnerabilities within a very short time, a security and anti-virus company said on Wednesday.
"Attackers don't need to break down the door to a company's network when the keys are readily available," Tarun Kaura, director of technology sales of Symantec India, said.
"We're seeing attackers trick companies into infecting themselves by trojanizing software updates to common programmes and patiently waiting for their targets to download these - giving attackers unfettered access to the corporate network," he said.
