  Microsoft Blue Hat: Researcher Demos No-Hack Attack
Time: 23:59 EST/04:59 GMT | News Source: WinBeta | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

A researcher at Microsoft’s closed-door Blue Hat summit last week demonstrated how seemingly mundane information available online about an individual or a business can be used against them in a targeted attack.

Roelof Temmingh, founder of Paterva, demonstrated how hackers don’t need traditional hacking tools given all of the information that’s freely available about people and organizations on the Internet. With a little reconnaissance and the use of a handy information-collection, correlation, and visualization tool he built called Maltego, Temmingh showed how an attacker wouldn’t have to bother with a port scan or other hacking tools to hack a person or a business.
