BasicServe.com Redirect Description

The BasicServe.com redirect virus, which is also called the Google redirect virus.  This false domain is created by criminals. First, they are going to look for the most valuable information first, and that is sensitive personal and financial information. The BasicServe.com redirect virus hackers want to find information that will allow them to perform identity theft, such as social security numbers, dates of birth, and even employment information. They also want to scrape the system for any kind of financial information like bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and online banking login information. This type of information allows them to perform fraud themselves or sell all of the harvested information on the black market to large criminal organizations.

The hackers are also looking for personal contact information, such as phone numbers and email addresses. They consider this to be marketing information that they will then group together with all of the other data from users they have infected and sell it as email lists and phone number lists. Ever wondered how the telemarketing companies and the spam emailers get their information? Well, the ones that aren’t operating legally will buy these black market lists and solicit to them illegally. The BasicServe.com redirect virus gives the hackers remote access, allowing them to search the PC for this information at anytime from their location, even if that happens to be on the other side of the world.
