Gmail accounts threatened by vulnerability 2007-09-27 10:39:00 from ComputerWorld UK 25/9/2007Website: http://www.computerworlduk.comGoogle's Gmail
can be easily hacked, allowing any past and future emails to read by hackers, according to a vulnerability
researcher.A "cross-site request forgery" (CSRF) bug was disclosed by Petko Petkov, a UK-based web vulnerability tester who has made a name for himself of late. In the past two weeks, Petkov has publicly posted information about critical, zero-day bugs in Apple's QuickTime, Microsoft's Windows Media Player and Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF).According to Petkov, who declined to release details about the vulnerability, attackers can use Gmail's filtering feature to exploit the bug. An attack, he said, would start with a victim visiting a malicious website while also still logged into his Gmail account. The malicious site would then perform what Petkov called a "multi-part/form-date POST" - an HTML command that can be used to upload files - to one of the Gmail application programming int Read more:threatened
US video shows simulated hacker attack 2007-09-27 10:34:00 from Associated Press 27/9/2007Website: http://www.ap.orgWASHINGTON - A government video
shows the potential destruction caused by hackers seizing control of a crucial part of the U.S. electrical grid: an industrial turbine spinning wildly out of control until it becomes a smoking hulk and power shuts down.The video, produced for the Homeland Security Department and obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday, was marked "Official Use Only." It shows commands quietly triggered by simulated hackers having such a violent reaction that the enormous turbine shudders as pieces fly apart and it belches black-and-white smoke.The video was produced for top U.S. policy makers by the Idaho National Laboratory, which has studied the little-understood risks to the specialized electronic equipment that operates power, water and chemical plants. Vice President Dick Cheney is among those who have watched the video, said one U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity because this official was Read more:attack

's early-warning
system gave its enterprise customers a brief scare last Friday (21 September) when it erroneously sent an alert that said an Internet
-crippling attack was in progress. The message, which went out to users of Symantec's DeepSight advanced alert system around 8:40 pm US Eastern time, had a subject head that simply read: "DeepSight Increased ThreatCon from 1 to 4 Alert." ThreatCon uses a 1-4 scoring system, with 1 being the least alarming threat level and 4 the most dire, to indicate Symantec's take on the current state of Internet security. According to the company's own definition, Level 4 is regarded as a "Full alert" and is reserved for those times when "extreme global network incident activity is in progress." The definition goes on to say that "implementation of measures in this Threat Condition for more than a short period probably will create hardship and affect the normal opera

PluggedIn: Hackers control PCs while users unaware 2007-09-20 21:54:00 from Reuters 21/9/2007Website: http://www.reuters.comBOSTON (Reuters) - A few weeks ago Candace Locklear's office computer quietly started sending out dozens of instant messages with photos attached that were infected with malicious software.She was sitting at her desk, with no sign that the messaging software was active. By the time she figured out what was going on, several friends and colleagues had opened the attachments and infected their computers.It took eight hours for a technician to clean up her computer. But because the malicious software worked so secretly, she's still not convinced that all's clear."I'd like to think that it's gone. But I just don't know," said Locklear, 40, a publicist in San Francisco. "That's what is so frustrating."Computer security experts estimate that tens of millions of personal computers are infected with malicious software like the one that attacked Locklear's machine. Such programs, generally classified as malware, attack companies along Read more:Hackers

Not all Malware is Equally Evil, Researchers Say 2007-09-20 00:22:00 from PC World 19/9/2007Website: http://www.pcworld.comTwo senior security veterans from Trend Micro Inc. are trying to get the industry to change how it classifies malicious software.They argue that today's classification system, which tends to focus on the technical way the software works, neglects a far more important metric that matters more to users: how it tries to steal your money."This is my pet bugaboo-- the unclear language," said David Perry, global director for education at Trend. "I come from 26 years of technical support, and it irks me that we protect people against things and they don't know what we're protecting them against."Perry and Anthony Arrott will present their paper, "New approaches to categorizing economically-motivated digital threats," on Friday at a security conference in Vienna.Take the term "virus." The proper definition of virus is a piece of software that replicates or makes copies of itself and attaches itself to other pieces of software.But for non Read more:Malware

Hacker finally publishes notorious Apple Wi-Fi attack 2007-09-18 21:13:00 from InfoWorld 19/9/2007Website: http://www.infoworld.comSan Francisco (IDGNS) - More than a year after claiming to have found a way to take over a Macintosh computer using a flaw in the system's wireless card, David Maynor has published details of his exploit.The details were included in a paper published in the September issue of Uninformed.org, an online hacking magazine. The lengthy paper describes how to run unauthorized software on a Macintosh by taking advantage of a flaw in Apple
's AirPort wireless drivers.Apple patched the bug in September 21 without crediting Maynor for discovering the problem. Instead, Apple's engineers found the bug during an internal audit, the company said.Maynor and researcher Jon Ellch first described this type of problem during an August 2006 presentation at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas. He was widely criticized by the Apple community for failing to back up his claims with technical details and for presenting a video demonstration Read more:attack

Infrastructure threats: Botnets show DoS who's boss 2007-09-18 21:09:00 from InfoWorld 19/9/2007Website: http://www.infoworld.comSan Francisco (InfoWorld) - Malware-infected botnet PCs have overtaken DoS attacks as the top security issue facing Internet service providers and other Web infrastructure hosting players, according to a new survey of the organizations.Arbor Networks published the results of its third-annual Infrastructure
Security Report on Monday -- a survey of 75 large ISPs, hosting companies, and other providers -- which found for the first time that botnets currently outrank DoS threats
as the most serious concern for the firms.Tens of millions of PCs are likely infected with botnet programs worldwide, according to survey results, and Arbor researchers said the ISPs they questioned admitted to spending more time and resources battling botnets than ever before.Infrastructure providers are finding botnets hard to pin down, as the people responsible for controlling the zombie machines are increasingly employing more advanced detection evasion t

's latest Internet Security Threat Report, online criminals are getting more sophisticated -- even commercial -- in the development, distribution, and use of malicious code.Symantec said that while financial gain continues to drive Internet crime, criminals are now using even more professional attack methods, tools, and strategies to conduct malicious activity online."The Internet threats and malicious activity we are currently tracking demonstrate that hackers are taking this trend to the next level by making cybercrime their actual profession, and they are employing businesslike practices to successfully accomplish this goal," said Arthur Wong, senior vice president of Symantec Security Response and Managed Services, in a statement.Sophisticated ToolkitsDuring the reporting period of Jan. 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007, Symantec detected an increase in Internet criminals leveraging sophisticated toolkits Read more:Clever
Malware is Getting Smarter, IBM Warns 2007-09-17 21:18:00 from Computerworld UK 17/9/2007Website: http://www.computerworlduk.comIBM
has reported an increase in malware volume and sophistication as part of its security statistics report for the first half of the year.So far this year, its X-Force research and development team has identified and analyzed more than 210,000 new malware samples, which is more than the total number of malware samples observed over the entirety of last year.According to IBM, the "exploits as a service" industry continues to thrive, with the new practice of "exploit leasing" added to the repertoire of criminals. By leasing an exploit, attackers can now test exploitation techniques with a smaller initial investment, making this underground market an even more attractive option for malicious perpetrators.According to the report, Trojans (seemingly legitimate files that are actually malware) are the most common form of malware this year, accounting for 28 percent of all malware.

Hacked GOP Site Infects Visitors with Malware 2007-09-15 04:02:00 from Yahoo News 14/9/2007Website: http://news.yahoo.comA Republican Party Web site has been hacked, and for some time it has been spreading a variation of the long-running Storm Trojan horse to vulnerable visitors, a security researcher said Friday.This is the first time that Storm has taken to the Web for its victims, said Dan Hubbard, head of research at San Diego-based Websense Inc. "The big news is that Storm has added infecting sites to its arsenal," said Hubbard.Storm debuted in January but only cracked the top malware lists early this summer, and has become infamous for its ability to adapt its infection strategies."They have a knack for latching onto the latest newsworthy events and capitalizing on the public interest in them," Symantec Corp. researcher Hon Lau said last month. "And if no newsworthy events are happening at the time, then they will just make them up."Until now, Storm has infected users via files attached to e-mail or through links embedded in spam.

Hackers update malware tool kit with zero-day code 2007-09-13 21:29:00 from Yahoo NewsWebsite: http://news.yahoo.comSan Francisco (InfoWorld) - A new version of the IcePack hacker exploit tool kit has been released, security researchers warned Tuesday, and for the first time it includes attack code designed to exploit an unpatched, or zero-day, Microsoft vulnerability.Three of IcePack's eight exploit tools are new, said Roger Thompson, chief technology officer at Exploit Prevention Labs. That's noteworthy in and of itself, Thompson said. "The mix of old and new exploits is to be expected, but three new ones in one update is pretty impressive," he noted.But the new tool kit also sports a first. "The latest iteration has done something original," said Thompson, pointing to an exploit that attacks a zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft's DirectX software development kit (SDK). "The closest to a tool-kit zero-day exploit [before] was for the ANI [animated cursor] vulnerability."He was referring to a Windows bug that surfaced in early April.

The U.S. ranked a distant second, hosting 20.8 percent of sites that contain malicious code.The number of infected Web pages has also grown. Sophos said it detected an average of 5,000 new infected pages each day in the month of August.The company warned that simply staying clear of sites hosted in the top three countries of China, the U.S. and Russia is not an effective method of avoiding malware."Hackers are hijacking Web sites around the world to make them point to malware on sites based in China, the U.S. and Russia," Carole Theriault, Sophos senior security consultant, said in a statement.Sophos also warned about a sharp rise in spam pointing people to these infected sites.
