Hacker Pleads Guilty to Spreading Botnets 2007-11-10 08:59:00 PCWorld 10/11/2007Website: http://www.pcworld.com A hacker has pleaded guilty to infecting hundreds of thousands of computers with malware in order to steal money from Paypal accounts. He could spend 60 years in prison and face a US$1.75 million fine. John Schiefer, 26, admitted that he and some associates developed malware that allowed them to create botnet armies of as many as 250,000 computers. Schiefer was able to collect information sent from the infected computers, including usernames and passwords for Paypal accounts. He and his associates were then able to make purchases using the Paypal accounts. They also shared the password information with others. This is the first prosecution of a hacker for this type of activity, according to the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California. The Federal Bureau of Investigation pursued the case. Schiefer says he also found Paypal usernames Read more:Hacker

Malware Planted on MySpace Once Again 2007-11-10 01:54:00 News Factor Network 9/11/2007Website: http://www.newsfactor.com Attackers are piggybacking on the fame of R&B recording artist Alicia Keys to spread their malware over the Web. Keys' MySpace
page has been infected with malicious software.Exploit Prevention Labs discovered the attack, one of several targeted MySpace pages. French funk band Greements of Fortune and Glasgow rock band Dykeenies were also targets of the Web-based attack. "When a visitor visits the infected page, they're first hit by an exploit which installs malware in the background if they're not fully patched against the latest security vulnerabilities, and next they're presented with a fake codec which tells them they need to install a codec to view the video," said Roger Thompson, CTO at Exploit Prevention Labs. "So even if they're patched, they can fall victim to the exploit." One Hack After Another Specifically, visitors to these MySpace pages are directed to co8vd.cn/s. This Read more:Malware

Need mobile spyware? Look on eBay 2007-11-10 01:42:00 InfoWorld 9/11/2007Website: http://www.infoworld.com San Francisco - Think your wife may be cheating on you? Wondering who your boss might be talking to? "Learn the truth. Spy today." So reads an ad for "Bluetooth Spy Pro-Edition," one of nearly 200 mobile phone spyware products currently listed for sale on eBay. The software, which costs as little as $3.99, can be used to view photographs, messages, and files on the phone, listen into phone conversations, and even make calls from the phone being spied upon. Security experts are concerned because while these products aren't illegal, installing them without authorization to spy on someone else most definitely is. And that's exactly what some of these products seem to be advertising. "You can now easily find out who your partner, business associates, friends have been in contact with," reads the Bluetooth Spy ad. "Whether you are suspicious of an affair or would just like information that will help progress your career, you can now do

Firefox 2 Security Update Coming 2007-11-22 07:16:00 InformationWeek 21/11/2007Website: http://www.informationweek.com Even as Firefox
3 moves into beta, Firefox 2 is getting a security makeover. The Mozilla Quality Assurance Community has called for volunteers to help test Release Candidate Builds of Firefox 2.0.0.10, which is expected to be released next week, following the Thanksgiving holiday. Firefox 2.0.0.10 addresses a Java Archive handling bug that was first reported back in February. The vulnerability allows a malicious attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting attack by hiding exploit code in a Java Archive (.jar) file. This is because the .jar protocol is not restricted to .jar files and will open .zip files, which can be malicious. "In simple terms, [this] means that any application which allows upload of .jar/.zip files is potentially vulnerable to a persistent cross-site scripting," said Petko Petkov, founder of security con Read more:Update
Shell, Rolls Royce reportedly hacked by Chinese spies 2007-12-03 21:56:00 Jeremy KirkInfoWorldWebsite: http://www.infoworld.comSan Francisco - Britain's domestic intelligence agency is warning that cybercrime perpetrated by China is on the rise following hacking attacks against Rolls

and Royal Dutch Shell
. The agency, known as MI5, recently sent letters to some 300 banks, accounting and legal firms warning that "state organizations" of China were plying their networks for information, according to the Times of London on Monday. The U.K. government refused on Monday to confirm the letters. However, the reported correspondence comes just a month after the U.K.'s top domestic intelligence officer warned of "high levels" of covert activity by at least 20 foreign intelligence agencies, with Russia and China as the most active.

McAfee: Vista Likely a Hacker Target in 2008 2007-12-03 21:46:00 Jennifer LeClaireNews Factor NetworkWebsite: http://www.newsfactor.com Windows Vista
is being relegated to the doghouse again this week for being slower than XP, and security experts are warning that Vista might face more serious malware in the upcoming year. New tests show that Windows XP, coupled with the forthcoming Service Pack 3, performs twice as well as Vista with SP1. Devil Mountain Software discovered that a preview version of SP3 for Windows XP offered a 10 percent performance boost. The software development firm said that performance gains with SP1 for Vista were negligible. However, slower speed is one issue, security is another. Considering the probability that more businesses will begin migrating to Vista in 2008, security analysts say that the security of Microsoft's latest operating system might be a larger problem than performance.

Google Purges Malware Sites Targeting Searchers 2007-12-03 21:42:00 InformationWeek Website: http://www.informationweek.com In response to a concerted effort by cybercriminals to infect the computers of Google
users with malware and make them unwitting partners in crime, Google apparently has purged tens of thousands of malicious Web pages from its index. In a blog post on Monday, Alex Eckelberry, CEO of Sunbelt Software, noted that many search results on Google led to malicious Web pages that expose visitors to exploits that can compromise vulnerable systems. "We're seeing a large amount of seeded search results which lead to malware sites," said Eckelberry. "These are using common, innocent terms -- one researcher landed on a malware site through searching for alternate firmware for a router." Sunbelt published a list of search terms that returned malicious pages, the result of search engine optimization campaigns by cybe Read more:Malware

Worm fears shut down Skype video feature 2008-01-26 23:15:00 Robert McMillan InfoWorldWebsite: Francisco - Skype
has been forced to turn off a video
-sharing feature
in its software because it could be misused to launch a self-copying worm attack against Skype users, security researchers said Tuesday.A bug in the software, which was first reported last Thursday by security researcher Aviv Raff, stems from the way Skype uses an Internet Explorer component to render HTML.Skype's video-sharing feature allows users to share videos hosted on two sites -- Dailymotion.com and Metacafe.com -- while chatting with other Skype users.Last week Raff showed how attackers could exploit the bug to run unauthorized software on a Skype user's PC.

Apple growth will draw malware attacks 2008-01-26 23:05:00 Matt HinesInfoWorldWebsite: Francisco - As Apple
continues to grow its worldwide market share and the company's products find their way into more business environments, attackers are certain to follow and create greater volumes of exploits aimed at vulnerabilities in the company's software, security experts contend.According to industry analyst firm Gartner, Apple shipped just over 1 million Mac OS X-based computers during the fourth quarter of 2007, a gain of 227,000 over the fourth quarter of 2006. The analyst firm reported that Apple's U.S. market share for 2007 jumped by 28 percent compared to 2006, rising to just over 6 percent.And with Apple CEO Steve Jobs stating at last week's Macworld Expo and Conference that the company has already sold 4 million iPhones and 5 million copies of Read more:attacks
MySpace Hacker Tells His Story 2007-11-22 07:12:00 PC World 20/11/2007Website: If Samy Kamkar plays his cards right, he may be allowed to visit MySpace
again in just a few months. For the time being, however, he's not even allowed to touch a computer, following a January 2007 guilty plea for creating what many consider to be the first Web 2.0 worm: the Samy worm.Samy's worm wasn't malicious, but it did force News Corp.'s MySpace social-networking site to shut down in late 2005 after forcing more than 1 million users to declare Samy a "hero" on their profile pages. Last week, Samy, who is now 21, made his first public appearance since his conviction, attending the OWASP App Sec 2007 conference, hosted by eBay, in San Jose, California. He was treated like a celebrity at the show, but there were some complications. Under the terms of his ple Read more:Hacker
