Electronic Commerce

In electronic commerce,digital goods is a general term that is used to describe any goods that are stored, delivered and used in its electronic format. Digital goods are shipped electronically to the consumer through e-mail or download from the Internet. Usually when you purchase digital goods online, after payment has been received the merchant will provide you with your digital item as an e-mail attachment or they may provide you with a secure link where you can download the item.

Examples of digital goods include e-books, music files, software, digital images, Web site templates, manuals in electronic format, and any item which can be electronically stored in a file or multiple files.

DroidDream

DroidDream is a mobile botnet type of malware that appeared in spring 2011. The DroidDream Trojan gained root access to Google Android mobile devices in order to access unique identification information for the phone. Once compromised,
a DroidDream-infected phone could also download additional malicious programs without the user’s knowledge as well as open the phone up to control by hackers. DroidDream affected mobile devices running v2.2 (FroYo) and earlier versions of the Android OS operating system, and entered phones through the download and installation of one of 50+ third-party applications that were available on Google's official Android Market. Google removed the apps from its marketplace and had to utilize its "kill switch" to remotely wipe Android devices that had been infected by DroidDream.DroidDream got its name from the fact that it was set up to run between the hours of 11pm and 8am when users were most likely to be sleeping and their phones less likely to be in use. Additional variants of DroidDream have since appeared, including DroidDream Light in June 2011 and a variant of DroidDream Light that appeared a month later.
