CrimeBoss Exploit Kit

The CrimeBoss Exploit Kit is a hacking tool that criminals use to install threats on victims' computer. The CrimeBoss Exploit Kit is usually set up on an attack website. Whenever a computer user tries to visit the compromised website, the CrimeBoss Exploit Kit may try to exploit various software vulnerabilities simultaneously in order to execute unreliable code on the victim's computer. Due to the fact that the CrimeBoss Exploit Kit exploits outdated software and a lack of proper security protection, one of the best ways to protect yourself from the CrimeBoss Exploit Kit is to keep your software fully updated. ESG malware researchers also advise computer users to stay away from potentially unsafe websites, to never click on suspicious error messages and to use a strong anti-malware application to protect their computer at all times.

How the CrimeBoss Exploit Kit Sets Up Its Attack

The CrimeBoss Exploit Kit is typically used as part of a multi-component malware attack that has several steps. The following are the steps that are usually involved in the CrimeBoss Exploit Kit attack process:

• Initially, criminals set up an attack website that contains the CrimeBoss Exploit Kit. Whenever a computer user visits this website, their computer is infected with threats thanks to the vulnerabilities that the CrimeBoss Exploit Kit takes advantage of on the visitors' computers.
• After the attack websites have been set up, criminals lure computer users to these Web pages in a variety of ways. Common tactics that are used include distributing harmful links using spam email and social network messages and social engineering tactics. One of the most common ways in which criminals lead computer users to websites using the CrimeBoss Exploit Kit is by compromising legitimate websites and inserting threatening scripts. These websites are commonly compromised by taking advantage of weak passwords, outdated software and a lack of anti-malware protection.
• When computer users click on unsafe links or are redirected by the scripts inserted into compromised websites, their Web browser takes them to the website that is hosting the CrimeBoss Exploit Kit. The victim's computer may display suspicious error messages, although the CrimeBoss Exploit Kit may also try to infect the victim's computer with other threats in the background. The CrimeBoss Exploit Kit may try to exploit three vulnerabilities in Java simultaneously.
