siehe unten Explanation: Ich weiss auch nicht genau, was hier gemeint wird, es haendelt sich bestimmt um irgendeine Umgangssprache. Die Smurfs (Schlumpfe auf Deutsch) aber sind kleine, blauhaeutige Maennchen mit weissen Muetzen, die alle aehnlich aussehen. Sie sind die Erfindung eines belgischen Kunstlers und erscheinen in Comicsheften, Spielzeuge und Kinderfernsehenprogramme. In den 80er Jahren waren sie weitbeliebt von Kindern ueberall auf der Welt. Was das aber mit Finanzen zu tun hat, kann ich nicht sagen. |

the act of smurfing Explanation: This question has certainly helped to brighten up a dull day! 'Smurfing' appears to be a kind of malicious attack on a computer system, it is a kind of denial of service attack. The web site quoted is a detailed description, which is somewhat technical. Fortunately, it is enough for us to know that 'Smurfing' means 'smurfing'. My only doubt is that this is a crime relating to computers rather than money laundering. But, perhaps it can be used as part of the process of money laundering. Reference: http://www.pentics.net/denial-of-service/white-papers |

SMURFING Explanation: Smurfing is a type of network security breach in which a network connected to the Internet is swamped with replies to ICMP echo (PING) requests. A smurf attacker sends PING requests to an Internet broadcast address. These are special addresses that broadcast all received messages to the hosts connected to the subnet. Each broadcast address can support up to 255 hosts, so a single PING request can be multiplied 255 times. The return address of the request itself is spoofed to be the address of the attacker's victim. All the hosts receiving the PING request reply to this victim's address instead of the real sender's address. A single attacker sending hundreds or thousands of these PING messages per second can fill the victim's T-1 (or even T-3) line with ping replies, bring the entire Internet service to its knees. Smurfing falls under the general category of Denial of Service attacks -- security attacks that don't try to steal information, but instead attempt to disable a computer or network. A Google search yielded the following German text which seems to fit your context of " money laundering".HTH Führt ein Finanzdienstleistungsinstitut mehrere Finanztransaktionen im Sinne von § 2 Abs. 1 GwG durch, die zusammen einen Betrag im Wert von DM 20.000,-- oder mehr ausmachen, ist es zur Identifizierung der auftretenden Person gemäß § 2 Abs. 2 GwG verpflichtet, wenn tatsächliche Anhaltspunkte dafür vorliegen, daß zwischen den Transaktionen eine Verbindung besteht (sog. Smurfing) und deshalb von einer künstlichen Aufsplittung einer einheitlichen Finanztransaktion ausgegangen werden muß. Reference: http://www.bakred.de/texte/verlautb/formatend.htm |
