Hackers Can Read Your Thoughts Inside Your Mind

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b>Hackers Can Read Your Thoughts. It’s like phishing, only it happens inside of your skull.</b><br /><br /> It’s hard to imagine something more futuristic than a helmet that lets you control machines with your mind. As if out of an X-Men comic, this technology became a reality about five years ago when not one but two devices, the NeuroSky MindWave and the Emotiv EPOC, that used brainwaves as an input hit the market. At first, the headsets were more or less novelties, a fun new way to play video games, but as the technology improved, all kinds of industries — from medicine to education, security to government — are looking for ways to take advantage of brain-controlled interfaces. We may never have to push a button again.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCuNVOkyt505BpKFnI8ofdGcc2OjSGr3sDnDLLcvXzozif64jfpilGzBbqEh3oMy5jl3rZDLAaI16pQ_lccCuFyr9Wrgw2fSZVgEEljXtBHx6KIdQcRIdKUza45Vr1kUfhGM9I-hVd-tx/s1600/mind+hacking.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCuNVOkyt505BpKFnI8ofdGcc2OjSGr3sDnDLLcvXzozif64jfpilGzBbqEh3oMy5jl3rZDLAaI16pQ_lccCuFyr9Wrgw2fSZVgEEljXtBHx6KIdQcRIdKUza45Vr1kUfhGM9I-hVd-tx/s320/mind+hacking.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /> Turns out there’s a downside to hooking your brain up to a computer. If you’re not careful, hackers could manipulate the game you’re playing or program you’re using and literally read your mind. (Sidenote: I’m pretty sure this was actually the horrifying premise of one of the latest X-Men movies and at least two Arnold Schwarzenegger flicks from the ‘90s.) A new study by a team of researchers from the University of California at Berkeley, Oxford and the University of Geneva shows how these devices can give unwarranted access to your private thoughts. By taking some backdoor approaches to reading the electronic signals the brain machines pick up, the team gained access to subconscious thoughts, including the location of the subjects’ homes and their banking PIN numbers.<br /><br /> Hacking into someone’s brain isn’t exactly a straight-forward task. To find these private thoughts, By matching the EEG data of reactions from the first set with reactions from the second set, the researchers were able to when the subject recognized an image of something, say the location of their house on a map. It’s very basic mind-reading but mind-reading nevertheless.<br /><br /> This doesn’t mean that thought thieves can come at your in the middle of the night, hook you up to a machine and download the contents of your brain. It is an indication that these brain-control devices pick up more information than what it needs to accomplish the task at hand.<br /><br /> And, the researchers warned, the technology will improve over time and make it easier to identify and translate those signals. So you could look forward to hackers developing fake applications aimed at getting your brainwaves going.<br /><br /> “In this threat model, the attacker doesn’t need to compromise anything,” says Dawn Song, a Berkeley computer science professor who helped lead the study. “He simply embeds the attack in an app, such as a game using [brain-machine interface] that the user downloads and plays. In this case, the malicious game designs and knows the visual stimuli the user is looking at and also gets the brain signal reading at the same time.” It’s like phishing, only it happens inside of your skull.<br /><br /></div><a class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" href="https://twitter.com/thehackersmedia">Follow @thehackersmedia</a><script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b>Oil giant Saudi Aramco back online after workstations hit by malware.</b><br /><br /> Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s national oil company, said on Sunday that the company was back in operation ten days after a massive malware outbreak hobbled 30,000 workstations at the company.<br /><br /> In a statement on the company’s Facebook page (content alert: Facebook page contains images of extremely phallic architecture), Aramco said that it had “restored all its main internal network services” that were affected by a malware outbreak on August 15.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig8CUBohJkURBcmR4kubR1bv-HOhHYIHtoI1M5kvr_Qu0fmAXUytoIucQCLsPq0DbvBF4biqreUEeJ9COfY6zbbV1ue282-zrHZD3cq3BjxaacJuZtPLBh8RbPquNZJipPNCIvBrJ40l-k/s1600/oil-gas-cloud-computing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig8CUBohJkURBcmR4kubR1bv-HOhHYIHtoI1M5kvr_Qu0fmAXUytoIucQCLsPq0DbvBF4biqreUEeJ9COfY6zbbV1ue282-zrHZD3cq3BjxaacJuZtPLBh8RbPquNZJipPNCIvBrJ40l-k/s320/oil-gas-cloud-computing.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> The attack was attributed to “external sources.” It is just the latest against a national oil company, following reports of malware attacks on Iran’s oil infrastructure linked to the “Flame” malware in May.<br /><br /> The malicious Trojan horse, which Sophos named Troj/MDrop-ELD, attempts to overwrite the master boot record on infected systems, which would make it impossible to boot the machine.<br /><br /> Responsibility for the attack from a previously unknown group calling itself the “Cutting Sword of Justice.”<br /><br /> The group posted details of the hack on Pastebin, and said that Aramco was attacked in retaliation against the Al-Saud regime for the “crimes and atrocities taking place in various countries around the world, especially in the neighboring countries such as Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, Lebanon (and) Egypt.<br /><br /> Pastie bin link:<br /><a href="http://pastebin.com/HqAgaQRj">http://pastebin.com/HqAgaQRj</a><br /><br /> We, behalf of an anti-oppression hacker group that have been fed up of crimes and atrocities taking place in various countries around the world, especially in the neighboring countries such as Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, Lebanon, Egypt and ..., and also of dual approach of the world community to these nations, want to hit the main supporters of these disasters by this action.<br /><br /> One of the main supporters of this disasters is Al-Saud corrupt regime that sponsors such oppressive measures by using Muslims oil resources. Al-Saud is a partner in committing these crimes. It's hands are infected with the blood of innocent children and people.<br /><br /> In the first step, an action was performed against Aramco company, as the largest financial source for Al-Saud regime. In this step, we penetrated a system of Aramco company by using the hacked systems in several countries and then sended a malicious virus to destroy thirty thousand computers networked in this company. The destruction operations began on Wednesday, Aug 15, 2012 at 11:08 AM (Local time in Saudi Arabia) and will be completed within a few hours.<br /><br /> This is a warning to the tyrants of this country and other countries that support such criminal disasters with injustice and oppression. We invite all anti-tyranny hacker groups all over the world to join this movement. We want them to support this movement by designing and performing such operations, if they are against tyranny and oppression.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwm6-niI5EGA6uRK_cv-Eb-d54ykH9MRQcqQKpgfKafIWQe-X8L6b-PZ9jk3468BH7n110IRSAzfEEcIYFB3hRDo5zydPpVDEBDQUau6DdayJUaurl1Ouj3wMIHlo50wKJ8In6M-uA1fQ5/s1600/prof.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="187" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwm6-niI5EGA6uRK_cv-Eb-d54ykH9MRQcqQKpgfKafIWQe-X8L6b-PZ9jk3468BH7n110IRSAzfEEcIYFB3hRDo5zydPpVDEBDQUau6DdayJUaurl1Ouj3wMIHlo50wKJ8In6M-uA1fQ5/s320/prof.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /> <b>Cutting Sword of Justice</b><br /><br /> Attacks against private and public energy-producing firms are nothing new. In addition to the “Flame” malware attacks against Iran’s oil refineries, the US Department of Homeland Security warned in May about ongoing cyber attacks aimed at firms operating natural gas pipelines within the United States.<br /><br /> In its Pastebin manifesto, Cutting Sword of Justice said its attack on Aramco was “a warning to the tyrants of this country and other countries that support such criminal disasters with injustice and oppression.” The group invited other “anti-tyranny hacker groups” to join the movement.<br /><br /></div><a class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" href="https://twitter.com/thehackersmedia">Follow @thehackersmedia</a><script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script></div>

We belong to India. We are one blood! We have one cause. STOP  breaching Indian servers, you we bet, the whole Pakistan, Bangladesh, or  whosoever breaches Indian Security will have to pay a big time that  will be permanent, and irreversible."<br /><br />Hackers named as coded32, 64, Xhunthacker, and code injector revealed  HT: "At this, Pakistani hackers forces discussed among themselves and  called for a peace deal between India-Pakistan and the cyber war on both  the sides got over on 16th August.<br /><br />But that was not the only  end, Bangladesh, provoked up, and Indian hackers already knew most of  the data were supplied by Pakistan Internally supporting them, to this  current date Indian hackers are fighting with Bangladesh as cold war,  attacking each other but with no direct terms and with negotiation."<br /><br />One more new Group appear name as <span style="color: red;">H2O</span>, They hacked some Pakistani facebook pages contain huge fan clubs, They also leak some data about about admins of those pages.<br /><br /><span style="color: red;">Today Offical Shahi Afridi sites was also hacked</span> by Indian Hacker <a bb8e2c9100587="true" href="http://www.shahidafridi.com.pk//" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>www.shahidafridi.com.pk/</a> .

Becoming Hackers Aren’t Tougher, You Just Have All The Right Tool

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">These days, hacking seems so common. It’s like a week won’t pass  without hearing news about another site being hacked or passwords being  leaked.  So the situation begs the<br /><div class="text_exposed_show">questions, “Are passwords getting weaker or are hackers getting tougher?”<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYVKWQGYiAvsanD1gCofKTovnz3OlrnOZdP5L-Dqn3UGXiRmbvn417z_3DVa37jJG3ZtUGbWc-JptOqK6DhyphenhyphenKBibD_1bNNsffj0MdA1Qtrv8eTB9rqxsk8K3A6TNKBWziBQmnbVlH_6gvc/s1600/bt5-g0.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYVKWQGYiAvsanD1gCofKTovnz3OlrnOZdP5L-Dqn3UGXiRmbvn417z_3DVa37jJG3ZtUGbWc-JptOqK6DhyphenhyphenKBibD_1bNNsffj0MdA1Qtrv8eTB9rqxsk8K3A6TNKBWziBQmnbVlH_6gvc/s320/bt5-g0.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />To be vigilant in choosing and keeping passwords secured.  There are a  lot of techniques in doing this like periodically changing your  passwords, not telling everyone what your password is, using capital  letters interchangeably with characters, numbers, etc.  But all these  efforts will be for naught if the site doesn’t salt your passwords.   Salting passwords means they’re encrypting them so that it can’t be  easily acquired.  Most sites these days encrypt their users’ passwords  but there are still some sites who do without salting.  So how come  passwords still get hacked if they’re encrypted?  The answer is simple:  hacking is now made easy.<br /><br />It’s just that hackers these days  have more hacking tools to aide them in their mission.  Before, when  hacking wasn’t that popular and computers aren’t that fast, hackers used  a small list of passwords to guess user passwords.  But as the time  changed, the list grew.  You’d think that hackers would have a tougher  time cracking passwords since there’s now a bigger list to go through  but you must not forget that computers these days are faster and can  churn millions of data at the blink of an eye.  Plus the fact that there  are  a lot of cracking software available these days, acquiring  passwords may just be a walk in the park some.<br /><br />There are two  things you need to remember if you want to acquire passwords.  First, if  you do manage to get passwords of a certain site, there’s a huge  possibility that it won’t be of any use to you since it’s hashed.   Remember, sites encrypt passwords.  So if a user uses the word  “password” the hacker won’t see “password” but a code like  “dzportsjd342nse9339f93qnnfgk134nsk4g” (not actual code) so he then  needs to figure out what the code means before the password can be of  any use to him.  This is the reason why security companies often remind  consumers to use an alphanumeric password, or inject some characters  into them and avoid using obvious ones like your name and birthday, so  hackers won’t easily access your account.  Another thing to remember is  to use different passwords for every site so in case one of your  accounts gets compromised, your other accounts will still be secured.<br /><br />The point is, users aren’t to blame if their accounts get hacked, it  also doesn’t mean that the security measures of the service you are  using is not commendable, hackers just have all the tools they need to  do the task.  So don’t beat yourself up.  Still, it wouldn’t hurt if you  make your passwords tougher.<br /><br /></div></div><a class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" href="https://twitter.com/thehackersmedia">Follow @thehackersmedia</a><script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script></div>
