Microsoft Names Two Zeus Botnet Operators

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />Three months after initially disrupting the Zeus botnet, Microsoft officials have named two of the people who they think are behind the malware network, a pair of Ukrainians who already are sitting in jail in the UK.<br />From the beginning of the anti-Zeus operation, which became public in March, Microsoft officials and lawyers from other organizations, including NACHA, have been trying to identify the dozens of John Does named in the initial legal complaint. Those efforts hadn’t met with any success, until last week when Microsoft named Yevhen Kulibaba and Yuriy Konovalenko as two of the John Does behind the Zeus botnet. The company has told both the FBI and the authorities in the UK of their findings, and also included the men’s names in the amended legal complaint.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMK8tH_AcVF-vnWSZW7Zp-jKdVjhVqZj4XYPSPBLTkk9cKSubwZ4yCW_Qp7N30NKolKKb3Fnyury2mfu84ewNa44FsPPqzwNKkIkcuconDk32q3cwCFddqia2D1jMpXwi46J6g-c0Uo9kw/s1600/zeus+bot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMK8tH_AcVF-vnWSZW7Zp-jKdVjhVqZj4XYPSPBLTkk9cKSubwZ4yCW_Qp7N30NKolKKb3Fnyury2mfu84ewNa44FsPPqzwNKkIkcuconDk32q3cwCFddqia2D1jMpXwi46J6g-c0Uo9kw/s400/zeus+bot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />“In an amended complaint, filed last week, Microsoft named Yevhen Kulibaba and Yuriy Konovalenko as defendants. Microsoft has learned that these particular defendants were already serving jail time in the United Kingdom for other Zeus malware related charges. Microsoft has advised the U.K. government of the criminal referral to the FBI. By referring this case to the FBI, as we did in September 2011 with our case against the operators of the Rustock botnet, we are affirming our commitment to coordinating our efforts with law enforcement. Our goal is always to work in ways that are complementary to law enforcement. Our hope is that the evidence we provided to the FBI in this case will lead to a criminal investigation that brings the perpetrators to justice,” Richard Boscovich, a senior attorney in Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit, said in an analysis of the operation.<br />The anti-Zeus operation is the latest in a line of botnet takedowns and anti-cybercrime actions undertaken by the Microsoft DCU, a relatively new gorup inside the company that’s devoted to investigating and helping stem cybercrime. The DCU also was involved in the takedown of the Rustock botnet, as well as operations against the Kelihos and Waledac botnets.The Zeus takedown hs been unique for a couple of reasons, chief among them the use of the civil section of the RICO anti-racketeering statute to aid in the investigation.<br />“In criminal court cases, the RICO Act is often associated with cases against organized crime; the same is true in applying the civil section of the law to this case against what we believe is an organization of people behind the Zeus family of botnets. By incorporating the use of the RICO Act, we were able to pursue a consolidated civil case against everyone associated with the Zeus criminal operation, even if those involved in the ‘organization’ were not necessarily part of the core enterprise,” Boscovich said at the time of the initial Zeus takedown.<br />Microsoft is working with ISPs to help them identify Zeus-infected machines and alert the users about the infection.</div>

"If there's a million-dollar bug, we will pay it out," Facebook security response chief Ryan McGeehan was quoted as saying.<br /> <br /> The idea of a company paying so-called 'white hat' hackers to probe their sites and report flaws — rather than exploiting them — is rare, but far from new. Google and Facebook do it, as do Mozilla, HP and, as of last month, PayPal.<br /> <br /> However, rewarding people for breaking into internal systems is an even riskier proposition. According to the Bloomberg piece, Facebook was moved to introduce the new bounty scheme after an external researcher informed the company of a flaw that meant outsiders could listen in to their internal conversations.<br /> <br /> Facebook's bug bounty page says the company will pay a <span style="color: red;">minimum of $500</span> for each responsible disclosure, as long as the bug could "compromise the integrity of Facebook user data, circumvent the privacy protections of Facebook user data, or enable access to a system within Facebook's infrastructure".<br /> <br /> The only kinds of bugs that Facebook won't pay out for are those in third-party apps or websites, denial-of-service vulnerabilities, and spam or social engineering techniques, none of which Facebook has any control over.</span></div>

It may not even work but it doesn’t matter. It’s not what they’re trying to achieve.“<br /> <br /> Mr Kernick said this kind of behaviour was called “hiding in plain sight” - a classic misdirection technique practised by magicians since time immemorial.<br /> <br /> Because Anonymous are a group of loosely affiliated activists and hackers, almost anyone can claim to belong to the group – including hostile governments.<br /> <br /> He emphasised that he did not think the recent attacks on Australian government websites and ISPs were the work of cyber criminals or nation states but the group’s popularity was making the possibility of this easier.<br /> <br /> He said that the recent hack on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s email account was a perfect example: “The question is who benefits from this. Yes, it could be random teen hacktivists getting bored but I would have thought the email of the Syrian President would be a bit above the skill set of your average spotty hacker, but maybe not past the level nation states could get past.<br /> <br /> “So why not embarrass them publicly and expose details, to the benefit of your own nation state and blame it on Anonymous?”<br /> <br /> Perpetrating cyber fraud under the guise of activism is the future of the internet, Mr Kernick said.<br /> <br /> “We’ve moved past attacking systems and websites to attacking people to gain their credentials,” he said.<br /> <br /> “If you're a nation state it's about attacking people because they have access to stuff and they can get people to do things for them.<br /> <br /> “It’s much easier than attacking people.”<br /> <br /> So what is the solution? Going old school.<br /> <br /> Mr Kernick said education campaigns have failed largely because people live in denial that they could ever be the subject of cyber criminals or nation states and that security companies need to stop trying the same old awareness campaign expecting a different result.<br /> <br /> “I would suggest if you want to protest, go write a placard, get manual, get real world about it,” he said.<br /> <br /> “Write a letter to your MP, write a letter to News Ltd, get it published the paper.<br /> <br /> “I’m not a fan of this ‘anonymous’ sniping.”<br /> <br /> However the cyber security expert acknowledged that it’s unlikely people would take this route because it’s always easier to click on a link than pen a letter they might have to put some thought into.</span></div>

Apple appeared at Black Hat Security conference

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />Apple will give the hacking community a peek under the hood of iOS this week, with the company’s first-ever presentation at the Black Hat security conference.<br /><br />Bloombergs Jordan Robinson first reported the Apple appearance, which is scheduled for Thursday.

In this talk, Dallas De Atley … will discuss key security technologies in iOS.<br /><br />De Atleys appearance, however, would come when iOS security has been increasingly challenged. Earlier this month, a Russian hacker exploited a flaw in the operating system, letting the public make in-app purchases for free. A week before that, the Find and Call app was revealed to be a Trojan horse that uploaded a users contacts and SMS messages to a remote server. And the forthcoming release of iOS 6 is expected to contain numerous security improvements.<br /><br />Black Hat general manager Trey Ford suggested to Bloomberg that De Atleys appearance is a coup for the conference. Bottom lineno one at Apple speaks without marketing approval, Ford told the news service. Apple will be at Black Hat 2012, and marketing is on board.<br /><br />References: <a href="http://www.blacknewbieteam.org/2012/07/24/apple-to-appear-at-black-hat-security-conference/" target="_blank">Link1</a><br /></div>

Defcon 20: Skillz, Thrillz & got Feelz for the whole Hacker Family

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />You might not think that a hacker conference in Sin City in the summer is the best place to take the kids. But if you want them to learn some skills, know their digital rights and have some fun, I can’t think of any place better. Oh, and there’s some stuff for us big kids too.<br /><h4 style="text-align: left;"> Defcon, which turns 20 this year, runs Friday through Sunday, following the more corporate Black Hat conference, the newsy parts of which are tomorrow and Thursday.</h4><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf3o900wCkaf65rjv9kCETG0z3xzQ6wcLYWsAWswSPBhFNb6njJXQCaDR7iajg0rOF8P3BxGdyIZEduWRCY-2dnLILdP-3-RDliSYepE-S1pX7CHA8_BRzotWM3yTX9kyGbN235TCv0dQ1/s1600/Defcon+20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf3o900wCkaf65rjv9kCETG0z3xzQ6wcLYWsAWswSPBhFNb6njJXQCaDR7iajg0rOF8P3BxGdyIZEduWRCY-2dnLILdP-3-RDliSYepE-S1pX7CHA8_BRzotWM3yTX9kyGbN235TCv0dQ1/s1600/Defcon+20.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />Black Hat organizers had a rocky start to their week with a security issue of their own. One of their volunteers sent 7,500 attendees a suspicious e-mail that appeared to be a phishing scam. The message asked recipients to confirm a new password that supposedly had been requested and directed them to a dicey-looking URL. “We have reviewed the server logs, we know the user, host, and have spoken with the volunteer who has emailed each of you this morning,” Trey Ford, general manager of Black Hat, wrote in a blog post, without saying exactly why it happened. “The email this morning wasn an abuse of functionality by a volunteer who has been spoken to.”<br /><br />And in a first, Apple is hosting a talk at Black Hat to discuss security for its iOS mobile operating system. It’s a timely appearance: just last week, the iPad and iPhone maker offered developers a way to protect themselves from a high-profile exploit that targeted Apple’s in-app purchase system.<br /><br />Defcon, meanwhile, will no doubt have plenty of hair-raising sessions about scary security holes in software and hardware we use every day and the tools released to help exploit them. But there also will be Defcon Kids, at which security researchers of the future will hone their chops on protecting data in a digital age.<br /><br />The Defcon Kids program, which runs concurrently with Defcon and is now in its second year, looks seriously interesting. There will be sessions on how to break crypto code and how to work with electronics and circuit boards. There’s a panel on location data tracking in cell phones, a zero-day contest for finding previously unknown vulnerabilities, a lockpicking race, a Q&A session on drones and 3D printing, and a session on “The Art of the Con” with a live con game.<br /><br />Attendees of Defcon Kids also will learn about liability and other issues related to design problems that allow locks and safes to be opened in seconds, and there’s a session called “Hacking your School’s Network” in which sci-fi author and Internet thinker Cory Doctorow will tell the kids that “the best way to hack the network is to study it, document the ways in which it interferes with your schooling, use Freedom of Information requests to find out what your school is paying for this junk, and publish and present that material.” The ACLU is holding a session on the NSA and the Constitution, and in the Department of Defense Crime Scene Investigation session, kids will confront a simulated crime that they have to solve in 15 minutes. Heady stuff for minors.<br /><br />And there’s plenty of fun for the over-21 crowd too, including sessions on all manner of security topics like backdoors in hardware and industrial control software, hacking aircraft tracking systems, “human augmentation” using medicine and technology and how to hack a nation’s transportation networks. There are also plenty of privacy-related sessions and deep dives into the security architectures of iOS, Android, and Win 8.<br /><br />For people who want a more hands-on experience, there’s an exploit-coding contest, a tamper-proof packaging contest, a Defcon art contest, capture the packet, lockpicking, social engineering contest and a beverage cooling contraption contest. For pure pleasure and good deeds you have the beard championship, along with bone marrow and blood drives. The winners of the Defcon short story contest will be announced, and people will be sharing anecdotes for the Defcon documentary that’s in the making. And if you just want to get out of town, there’s a two-hour bike ride in the desert being organized.<br /><br />Things kick into another gear at night. After hours there will be the usual shmoozing over drinks, goth dance parties, and DJs from nerdcore rappers Duo Core and Dale Chase to MC Frontalot and local boys gone big, The Crystal Method.<br /><br />There is also a separate event, B-Sides, that runs tomorrow and Thursday and features some interesting sessions like “How I Managed to Break into the InfoSec World with Only a Tweet and an Email” and “Dropping an Intelligent F-BOMB.”<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Reference</span>: <a href="http://www.blacknewbieteam.org/2012/07/24/defcon-20-skillz-thrills-for-the-whole-hacker-family/" target="_blank">Link1</a></div>

Hackers force Iranian nuclear facilities to blast AC/DC after Cyber Attack

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />A person inside the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) claimed this week in an email to a security researcher that a fresh hack is affecting two facilities, causing vital equipment to shut down and then playing AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” on lab computers at maximum volume “during the middle of the night.”<br /><br />Mikko H. Hypponen, chief research officer for the cybersecurity firm F-Secure, explained on the company’s website that he received an email from an unknown person within the AEOI who wanted to publicize details of the latest problems they’ve been running into.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipEruUXQNjyLKKoABUXOWkfjBzxfkdJJBpzeT2keL2nsd6CkWCw_FkQzQ4A17iJcUJV7dd9J89ICtllnvaNEkHgM2N2afhSvBN770FOx0LkgMn-gsApLQmK8JmK8SVJJT2GuKvsOqsFGE8/s1600/Iran+Necular+plants.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipEruUXQNjyLKKoABUXOWkfjBzxfkdJJBpzeT2keL2nsd6CkWCw_FkQzQ4A17iJcUJV7dd9J89ICtllnvaNEkHgM2N2afhSvBN770FOx0LkgMn-gsApLQmK8JmK8SVJJT2GuKvsOqsFGE8/s320/Iran+Necular+plants.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />“I am writing you to inform you that our nuclear program has once again been compromised and attacked by a new worm with exploits which have shut down our automation network at Natanz and another facility Fordo near Qom,” the tipster wrote.<br /><br />“According to the email our cyber experts sent to our teams, they believe a hacker tool Metasploit was used,” he continued. “The hackers had access to our VPN.

Bush and sped up by President Barack Obama, who also allegedly initiated other lines of attack against the same facilities cited by Hyppone’s mystery tipster.<br /><br /><br /></div>

Using an open-source hardware gadget Brocious built for less than $50, he can insert a plug into that DC port and sometimes, albeit unreliably, open the lock in a matter of seconds. “I plug it in, power it up, and the lock opens,” he says simply.<br /> <br /> In fact, Brocious’s break-in trick isn’t quite so straightforward. Testing a standard Onity lock he ordered online, he’s able to easily bypass the card reader and trigger the opening mechanism every time. But on three Onity locks installed on real hotel doors he and I tested at well-known independent and franchise hotels in New York, results were much more mixed: Only one of the three opened, and even that one only worked on the second try, with Brocious taking a break to tweak his software between tests.<br /> <br /> Even with an unreliable method, however, Brocious’s work–and his ability to open one out of the three doors we tested without a key–suggests real flaws in Onity’s security architecture. And Brocious says he plans to release all his research in a paper as well as source code through his website following his talk, potentially enabling others to perfect his methods.<br /> <br /> Brocious’s exploit works by spoofing a portable programming device that hotel staff use to control a facility’s locks and set which master keys open which doors. The portable programmer, which plugs into the DC port under the locks, can also open any door, even providing power through that port to trigger the mechanism of a door lock in which the battery has run out.<br /> <br /> The system’s vulnerability arises, Brocious says, from the fact that every lock’s memory is entirely exposed to whatever device attempts to read it through that port. Though each lock has a cryptographic key that’s required to trigger its “open” mechanism, that string of data is also stored in the lock’s memory, like a spare key hidden under the welcome mat. So it can be immediately accessed by Brocious’s own spoofed portable device and used to open the door a fraction of a second later.<br /> <br /> Brocious believes that the unreliability of his method stems from timing issues in how his hacked-together unlocking device communicates with Onity’s locks. He doesn’t plan to complete the development and debugging of the technique himself, due to what he says are time constraints and concerns about what a universally effective exploit would mean for the security of millions of hotel guests. But he believes that with more experimentation and tweaking, someone could easily access a significant fraction of hotel rooms around the country without leaving a trace.<br /> <br /> In fact, Brocious isn’t the only one who knows his tricks. His former employer, a startup that sought to reverse engineer Onity’s hotel front desk system and offer a cheaper and more interoperable product, sold the intellectual property behind Brocious’s hack to the locksmith training company the Locksmith Institute (LSI) for $20,000 last year. LSI students, who often include law enforcement, may already have the ability to open Onity doors at will.<br /> <br /> “With how stupidly simple this is, it wouldn’t surprise me if a thousand other people have found this same vulnerability and sold it to other governments,” says Brocious. “An intern at the NSA could find this in five minutes.”<br /> <br /> The ability to access the devices’ memory is just one of the two vulnerabilities Brocious says he found in Onity’s locks. He says the company also uses a weak encryption scheme that allows him to derive the “site code”–a unique numerical key for every facility–from two cards encoded one after another for the same room. By reading the encrypted data off of two cards and testing thousands of potential site codes against both cards until the decoded data displays a predictable interval between the two, he can find the site code and use it to create more card keys with a magnetizing device. But given that he can only create more cards for the same room as the two keys he’s been issued, that security flaw represents a fairly low risk compared with the ability to open any door arbitrarily.<br /> <br /> Brocious says he stumbled upon the the flaws in Onity’s locks while working as the chief technology officer for a startup called Unified Platform Management Corporation, which sought to compete with bigger players in the hotel lock industry by creating a universal front end system for hotels that used common lock technologies. Brocious was hired to reverse engineer hotel locks, and Onity was his first target. The discovery of Onity’s security vulnerabilities was entirely unintentional, he says.<br /> <br /> UPM failed to find customers or investment and soon folded. With the exception of the sale of his exploit methods to LSI–the biggest sale the startup ever achieved–Brocious kept quiet about his discovery, until now.<br /> <br /> “This wasn’t the way we wanted to disrupt the business, exactly,” says Brian Thomason, one of UPM’s founders. “But hey, stuff happens, right?”<br /> <br /> In a move that may dismay security practitioners, Brocious never contacted Onity or its parent company United Technologies Corporation to tell the firm about its security flaws, and doesn’t plan to ahead of his talk. But he says that’s because there’s little the company could do: the locks can’t be simply upgraded with new firmware to fix the problem. New circuitboards will have to be installed in every affected lock, a logistical nightmare if millions of locks prove to be vulnerable. “I didn’t want to delay putting this out there any further than I had to. I see no path to mitigate this from Onity’s side,” he says. “The best way to help hotels at this point is educate them about this, not to go through Onity and delay getting the information out longer than I had to.”<br /> <br /> When I contacted Onity and provided a detailed description of Brocious’s work, the company responded with this statement: “We have not seen Mr. Brocious’ presentation and cannot comment on the content. Onity places the highest priority on the safety and security provided by its products and works every day to develop and supply the latest security technologies to the marketplace.”<br /> <br /> And if Onity’s locks are in fact as insecure and unsecurable as Brocious says, how does he suggest hotels and their guests protect themselves? “Hotels need to come up with a plan to move to more secure locks,” he says.</span></div>

Eight Million Email Addresses And Passwords Leaked From Gaming Site Gamigo

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Call it a slow leak. Four months after the gaming site Gamigo warned users about a hacker intrusion that accessed some portions of its <span class="text_exposed_show">users’ credentials, more than 8 million usernames, emails and and encrypted passwords from the site have been published on the Web, according to the data breach alert service PwnedList. The half-gigabyte collection of stolen user data was posted to the password-cracking forum Inside Pro earlier this month, where it remained online until late last week.</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show">   </span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show">                              <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpnG1KQrdoijl5dXOjzOl5mHUjU6g1zi1-DlWafmDGwPoe0m3pvY2ANpNqgHUu1RZfpl9h8rYJASP5v9WVFBdNsf3uLvDiNVhkY-E7jE0SakxpYdzQPnLZFjNKU5Gl7fvMSbO7s_Watpc6/s1600/Gamigo+hacked.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpnG1KQrdoijl5dXOjzOl5mHUjU6g1zi1-DlWafmDGwPoe0m3pvY2ANpNqgHUu1RZfpl9h8rYJASP5v9WVFBdNsf3uLvDiNVhkY-E7jE0SakxpYdzQPnLZFjNKU5Gl7fvMSbO7s_Watpc6/s400/Gamigo+hacked.png" width="400" /></a><br /> <br /> PwnedList founder Steve Thomas downloaded the file prior to its removal from the Web and has shared it with me, and I can confirm that it appears to be an enormous list of user emails with passwords obscured by cryptographic hashes.<br /> <br /> “It’s the largest leak I’ve ever actually seen,” says Thomas, whose startup seeks to track data breaches and alert users when their information is published. “When this breach originally happened, the data wasn’t released, so it wasn’t a big concern. Now eight million email addresses and passwords have been online, live data for any hacker to see.”<br /> <br /> Gamigo users can check on PwnedList’s site whether their email address is included in the leak.<br /> <br /> Though the passwords weren’t posted in a readable form initially, they may still be compromised. Within a half hour, another user in the Inside Pro forum thread responded to the post of the file with a message reading “found 94%,” implying that the passwords may have been easily derived from their hashed form.<br /> <br /> Gamigo, a free gaming site owned by German publishing firm Axel Springer AG, forced all users to change their passwords after it announced it had been hacked in March of this year, so the exposed passwords likely won’t give anyone access to user accounts on Gamigo.com itself. But given that users very often re-use passwords between sites, the breached passwords could offer access to more sensitive accounts on email or banking sites. Anyone who has had an account with Gamigo prior to its March breach should be sure to change their passwords on any accounts where they used the same credentials as on Gamigo.com.<br /> <br /> According to PwnedList’s analysis, the spilled data includes 3 million American accounts including Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo! mail addresses, 2.4 million German accounts, and 1.3 million French accounts. The company found dozens of email addresses from corporations including IBM, Allianz, Siemens, Deutsche Bank, and ExxonMobil.<br /> <br /> Though the user who posted the file to Inside Pro counted 11 million hashed passwords, PwnedList’s Thomas says he found only 8,244,o00 unique email addresses in the file. More than five thousand of the email addresses included the word “gamigo,” a sign that they were created specifically to register for Gamigo and strong evidence that the stolen database was in fact taken from Gamigo’s servers.</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show"> <br /> In early March, Gamigo warned users that its “database was subject to an attack in the last few days,” and that “the intruder(s) managed to acquire (alias) user names and encrypted gamigo user passwords.” A few hundred of those credentials were posted in Gamigo forums.<br /> <br /> “We cannot rule out that the intruder(s) is/are still in possession of additional personal data, although to date we have received no report of any fraudulent use,” read the message. “To prevent any unauthorized access to your account, we have reset all passwords for the gamigo Account System and for all gamigo games!”<br /> <br /> I’ve contacted Gamigo for comment, and will add any update from the company when I hear back.<br /> <br /> PwnedList’s Steve Thomas says he believes Gamigo hasn’t acted irresponsibly in responding to the breach, despite not warning users to change any passwords they reused across other accounts. But he emphasizes that users who do reuse passwords should act now to change them immediately. “Now that these full details are out there, we can expect more attempts for accounts to be taken over or used maliciously,” he says.</span></div>

Samsung Galaxy Tab Stays Banned in the US in Increasingly Bizarre Apple Case

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />Samsung tried to get it overturned, but the preliminary injunction against its Galaxy Tab tablet in the US will be enforced after all, despite different rulings in other parts of the world.<br /><br />District Judge Lucy Koh issued an injunction, back in late June, against the Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet, which essentially forbids its sale in the United States.<br /><br />Naturally, the company wasn't about to take it lying down, so it turned to the US appeals court, hoping it wouldn't have to change the looks.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxJt2y6yYNuGB7vnNiRFGwjwkA4Au1cT3VSRk-70w_6xr4FdyRUkDaOfS86ZaufOpsPynkwlW4dmdVtNspP5zGmZg9w0n5F8_Zxc2G4IGdO5Lp7TcxZsTaVuIFTBQYPZUYZ8V4Ghmuinew/s1600/samsung+galaxy+tab.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxJt2y6yYNuGB7vnNiRFGwjwkA4Au1cT3VSRk-70w_6xr4FdyRUkDaOfS86ZaufOpsPynkwlW4dmdVtNspP5zGmZg9w0n5F8_Zxc2G4IGdO5Lp7TcxZsTaVuIFTBQYPZUYZ8V4Ghmuinew/s400/samsung+galaxy+tab.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Unfortunately, its attempts to overturn the ruling was denied. Also, the court refused to speed up the appeal process, which means that Samsung has to wait until July 30 at the very earliest before it can be heard again.<br /><br />"Samsung may of course significantly self-expedite the case by filing its own brief early. Samsung, however, has not shown that the time for Apple to file its brief should be shortened," the court said in its ruling, according to The Register.<br /><br />Apple is no doubt ecstatic about the outcome, bizarre as it is. We call it bizarre because of the grounds on which the ban was granted in the first place.<br /><br />The patent which Apple managed to use in the banning of the Samsung Galaxy Tab is "the ornamental design for an electronic device," which describes what a tablet looks like.<br /><br />We won't say (again) how strange it is that someone is allowed to claim ownership of what is essentially an aesthetic concept that was used, by others, before Apple's iPad even came out. That's for the USPTO to sort out.<br /><br />Instead, we'll draw attention to the fact that the very same patent was ruled to not have been infringed by Samsung's Galaxy Tab in a different part of the world: The United Kingdom.<br /><br />Remarks of Tab not being as “cool” as iPad aside, there is another matter: the same court has ordered Apple to publicly admit, advertise even, that the Galaxy Tab is not a copy, and keep doing so for at least six months. It's the closest thing to a public apology we can think of.<br /><br />Apple might still get out of it but, if it does not, this patent war will reach new levels of ridiculous. Apple will basically declare, in official capacity, that Galaxy Tab does not infringe its IP, while declaring, in official capacity, that Galaxy Tab does infringe its IP, only in a different part of the world.<br /><br />We'll give this mess this much: it gave the term “cognitive dissonance” a whole new meaning.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Reference</span>:  <a href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Stays-Banned-in-the-US-Apple-Can-Rejoice-282495.shtml" style="background-color: white;">http://news.softpedia.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Stays-Banned-in-the-US-Apple-Can-Rejoice-282495.shtml</a><br /></div>

Russian hacker arrested for cyber attacks on Amazon.com

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />A Russian man who is indicted in the Western District of Washington for cyber attacks on Seattle-based Amazon.com was arrested in Cyprus this week on an international warrant, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. Dmitry Olegovich Zubakha, 25, of Moscow, was indicted in May 2011, for two denial of service attacks on the Amazon website.<br /><br />The indictment, unsealed today following his arrest on July 18, 2012, also details denial of service attacks on Priceline.com and eBay.  The illegal hacking and denial of service attacks outlined in the indictment occurred in June 2008.  Zubakha is charged in relation to the attacks with conspiracy to intentionally cause damage without authorization to a protected computer, and two counts of intentionally causing damage to a protected computer resulting in a loss of more than $5,000.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL7ReKZKdZnDtxAk2j3ElLTRQiOLVQmM2KIoOtGtPWvu1UNMGDrpyv338SMAiEIwwihxzGwFGIWqapzMjEvQ1A1kQUOCHYsdvoI4-vJ_a_r6msd_Nw6SVTrTeVL_QCtHWCahjEFs5NOiBt/s1600/russian-hacker.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL7ReKZKdZnDtxAk2j3ElLTRQiOLVQmM2KIoOtGtPWvu1UNMGDrpyv338SMAiEIwwihxzGwFGIWqapzMjEvQ1A1kQUOCHYsdvoI4-vJ_a_r6msd_Nw6SVTrTeVL_QCtHWCahjEFs5NOiBt/s400/russian-hacker.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Zubakha is also charged with possession of 15 or more unauthorized access devices, and aggravated identity theft for a separate incident involving the possession of stolen credit card numbers in October 2009.  The United States is seeking to extradite Zubakha from Cyprus.  He remains in custody pending extradition.<br /><br />“These cyber bandits do serious harm to our businesses and their customers.  But the old adage is true: the arm of the law is long,” said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan who leads the Justice Department’s Cybercrime and Intellectual Property Enforcement Committee.  “This defendant could not hide in cyberspace, and I congratulate the international law enforcement agencies who tracked him down and made this arrest.<br /><br />According to the indictment, Zubakha is alleged to have mounted a denial of service attack against Amazon on June 6, 2008 and again on June 9, 2008.  In both instances, the attacks disrupted the ability of customers to access the Amazon site for hours while the company attempted to deal with the attacks from a ‘botnet’ or web of connected computers.  Zubakha, and another Russian hacker, allegedly launched the attacks against the Amazon servers by having the botnet computers request large and resource intensive web pages. The attacks made it difficult for Amazon customers to complete their business on line. Zubakha and his coconspirator claimed credit for the attacks in hacker forums.  In one instance a co-conspirator called a victim company, Priceline.com and offered his services as a consultant to stop the denial of service attack.   In October 2009, law enforcement traced the possession of more than 28,000 stolen credit card numbers to Zubakha and his co-conspirator.  Zubakha is charged with aggravated identity theft for illegally using the credit card of a Lake Stevens resident.<br /><br />“The investigation culminating in the arrest of Dmitry Zubakha by authorities in Cyprus was extremely complex. The apprehension of Zubakha is the result of a concerted effort by the Secret Service, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington and the Seattle Police Department. I would also like to commend Amazon.com for its forthrightness and assistance in dealing with this series of computer network attacks which had the potential to adversely impact the company’s ability to serve its customers,” said James Helminski, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Secret Service in Seattle.<br /><br />The charges contained in the indictment are only allegations.  A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.<br /><br />Conspiracy is punishable by up to five years in prison. Intentionally causing damage to a protected computer resulting with a loss of more than $5,000 is punishable by up to ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine.  Possession of more than 15 unauthorized access devices is punishable by up to ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine.  Aggravated identity theft is punishable by an additional two years in prison on top of any sentence for the underlying crimes.<br /><br />The case is being investigated by the U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force which includes detectives from the Seattle Police Department.  The Office of International Affairs in the Justice Department’s Criminal Division provided substantial assistance. Assistant United States Attorney Kathryn Warma is prosecuting the case in the Western District of Washington.<br /></div>

Two LulzSec hackers plead guilty to hacking charges

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Two LulzSec hackers may soon learn that it’s easier to break into government databases than it is to break out of jail. Ryan Cleary, 19, and Jake Davis, 18, on Monday both pleaded guilty in a London court to charges that they attacked both government websites and major commercial websites, the <em>BBC</em> reports. The two men, both citizens of the United Kingdom, admitted to hacking into the Pentagon, the CIA, the U.K.’s National Health Service, News International, PBS, Sony, Nintendo and the 20th Century Fox film studio. Both men, however, pleaded not guilty to more serious charges that they “unlawfully obtained confidential computer data” and posted it on popular hacker hubs such as LulzSec.com and Pirate Bay. A trial for those charges has been set for April 2013, the <em>BBC</em> reports.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM2_LkpA4iwAF-CA6_AJmL-Oy7VFdKO9tFJnq2CbiFh0q1x-_BPmswSmL_XaRyDrYb1YYWRuHtFHXlPlfpK_xk0Ul4HeYlx84eRwWuPYzGnAclIORhwLvImGqE43xItBzAe8KHZ-HlGIQ0/s1600/Lulzsec.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="382" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM2_LkpA4iwAF-CA6_AJmL-Oy7VFdKO9tFJnq2CbiFh0q1x-_BPmswSmL_XaRyDrYb1YYWRuHtFHXlPlfpK_xk0Ul4HeYlx84eRwWuPYzGnAclIORhwLvImGqE43xItBzAe8KHZ-HlGIQ0/s400/Lulzsec.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div>

New malware hits Middle East computers

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />Security researchers say they have discovered another piece of espionage malware infecting computers and targeting sensitive organizations in the Middle East.<br /><br />Kaspersky Lab in Russia and Seculert in Israel said the malware on more than 800 PCs operated by critical infrastructure companies, financial institutions and government agencies has been siphoning e-mails, passwords, computer files and nearby conversations, ArsTechnica.com reported Tuesday.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEianrH-1qhDdFkhTxsaeDqcRDH3b_8VFNJX5ux3npVVbOrbgAU3hX-NvHVl76BxJb04VCy_QctZLy_t5eq1ilZzg5LNRucNzb5-eRG2vKKaCsv6pa4Xqof_wkpIwDub01gL5c1YiKR6CcnJ/s1600/malware-attack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEianrH-1qhDdFkhTxsaeDqcRDH3b_8VFNJX5ux3npVVbOrbgAU3hX-NvHVl76BxJb04VCy_QctZLy_t5eq1ilZzg5LNRucNzb5-eRG2vKKaCsv6pa4Xqof_wkpIwDub01gL5c1YiKR6CcnJ/s320/malware-attack.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />The researchers have dubbed the malware Madi or Mahdi, which in Islam is synonymous with Messiah, because of several code strings and handles used by the attackers.<br /><br />The discovery evoked comparisons to the Flame malware used to disrupt Iran's nuclear program, but both Kaspersky and Seculert said the malware contained amateur coding practices and relied on the gullibility of its victims, whereas Flame contained world-class cryptographic breakthroughs and other techniques that suggested state-sponsored developers.<br /><br />"While we couldn't find a direct connection between the campaigns, the targeted victims of Mahdi include critical infrastructure companies, financial services and government embassies, which are all located in Iran, Israel and several other Middle Eastern countries," Seculert said. "It is still unclear whether this is a state-sponsored attack or not."<br /><br />Madi can log keystrokes, capture screenshots and steal any messages sent to or from a variety of widely used services, including Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo!

Cyber warfare: Fear of system failure

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />The discovery of Flame and Stuxnet leaves security experts concerned there are similar malicious software attacks already underway that their systems cannot detect.<br /><br />It’s rare to hear someone admit to failure. Even rarer to admit that their company and the entire industry it represents is guilty of a “spectacular failure”. But that is just what Mikko Hypponen, “cyber-security Jedi” and chief research officer at anti-virus firm F-Secure, did recently.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPRAxGuCVFkBj0mPyYKojscbXeocC4usrafTGhzq4R6RYgyc8xmlQw9fwBDF1nvitp-KEQdyjQmdPqVtWxzBTHjOHM8fsLnj4ZYWfzW9xuLuPOWiooMLg6UdoagOys7rsASRtlYhtITQ6f/s1600/Cyber-Attack+hackersmedia.com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPRAxGuCVFkBj0mPyYKojscbXeocC4usrafTGhzq4R6RYgyc8xmlQw9fwBDF1nvitp-KEQdyjQmdPqVtWxzBTHjOHM8fsLnj4ZYWfzW9xuLuPOWiooMLg6UdoagOys7rsASRtlYhtITQ6f/s400/Cyber-Attack+hackersmedia.com.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />In a candid article for Wired published at the start of June, he admitted that the antivirus industry had been caught with its trousers down by what has been described by some as the most complex piece of malicious software ever created.<br /><br />Known as Flame, the software is an example of a “spyware” infection, designed surreptitiously to record and transmit a record of actions taking place on a compromised system – from video and audio to the individual strokes of a keyboard – as well as offering access to sensitive and supposedly private information.<br /><br />More striking than these capabilities, however, are two crucial factors: the sophistication of Flame’s targeting, and its ability to evade detection. Flame’s targets were almost certainly a handful of computers operating sensitive aspects of nuclear programs in the Middle East. And, as soon became apparent after its discovery, it had been spreading across the world towards these machines for over two years, undetected.  Until its purpose was due to be served, one of the most important pieces of malicious code in existence had to all intents and purposes been invisible.<br /><br />All of which marks out Flame as a tool not of mere criminality, but of cyber-espionage: one developed by a state-sponsored intelligence program with the intent of gathering technical information of the most sensitive kind. Hence Hyponnen’s remarkably frank assessment: “We really should have been able to do better. But we didn’t. We were out of our league, in our own game.”<br /><br />Sophisticated scams<br /><br />Cyber-crime used to feel, if not like a game with rules, then at least like an arena of knowable motivations. Thanks to the internet, every petty criminal in the world suddenly had access to your front garden (metaphorically speaking) and would muster as much cunning as possible to break into your house – or at least your bank account.<br /><br />Just a day after Iran had announced the discovery of Flame, I was speaking at the Thinking Digital conference in northeast England, where I listened to Hypponen outline one of the more ingenious of such scams. Once infected by the malware in question, your computer produces an official-looking message on startup claiming to be from the FBI.<br /><br />It has been detected, the message says, that your hard drive contains a treasure trove of illicit materials, incriminating you in everything from terrorism to child pornography. Your entire system has been frozen, leaving you only two options: either click here to take the claim to “court” (a bogus dead end); or pay an instant fine to unlock your system. Some users, Hypponen went on to explain, actually paid the fine even though they knew it was a scam – because they couldn’t face the potential humiliation and suspicion of explaining what was going on.<br /><br />Such attacks can be destructive, disturbing and costly. Yet it is, at least, clear what’s going on once you see behind the deceiving veil: what the scammers want (money); how they aim to get it; and what your recourses may be (download a fix; contact the police or civilian digital security experts). Even when it effectively entails taking your computer hostage, financial gain remains a comprehensible motive.<br /><br /><b>Raising alarms</b><br /><br />What, though, is to be done when the actors involved are states themselves; or digital aggressors acting with the resources of a state behind them? Shrouded by plausible deniability on all sides, it’s increasingly clear that a kind of silent war is beginning online: one whose battles even the experts may only recognize after they’ve been fought, and whose potential targets encompass almost every system or service plugged into a computer.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">References</span>: <a href="http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20120608-system-failure-in-cyber-warfare" target="_blank">Link1</a><br /></div>

Hacker Attack Email Account Kareena Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor, Arbaaz Khan and Sajid Khan

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">There is nothing new when celebrities’ email accounts get hacked! For virtually every month, celebrities make headlines when hackers spy on their email acc<span class="text_exposed_show">ounts, misuse it and leak their personal details. So when Sajid Khan hit headlines when his account was compromised, we were shocked! Initially, he didn’t pay much attention to it because he thought he wasn’t interested in email and social networking websites. But when his friends started calling him up, he realized how serious the problem had become. The hacker used his account to send mails to actresses asking them for their high-res nude pictures!<br /> <br /> This isn’t the first time that we have heard of such an instance. In the past too celebrities like Ekta Kapoor, Meghna Naidu, Ali Merchant, Arbaaz Khan have faced similar problems. But what’s disturbing is the spurt in the number of such incidents! For it shows how ridiculously simple it is to break into their emails and extremely difficult to catch hold of culprits.</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjy3Ly-WK8rEuEn6BDETbpZEi3Ed7M1pqq3DlVUcjxni-bnWv-v2NOmUoN2quGf5QZ3HdNzsrhfOSNxZl1rTUZ3AhTIkyUjg_tNI_P2y3QUOyWCuPjKluqQOEGRj8ONNrw-l_dTZtc6eqW/s1600/kareena+kapoor+account+hacked.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjy3Ly-WK8rEuEn6BDETbpZEi3Ed7M1pqq3DlVUcjxni-bnWv-v2NOmUoN2quGf5QZ3HdNzsrhfOSNxZl1rTUZ3AhTIkyUjg_tNI_P2y3QUOyWCuPjKluqQOEGRj8ONNrw-l_dTZtc6eqW/s400/kareena+kapoor+account+hacked.png" width="400" /></a></div><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> <br /> Here’s a list of celebrities who are having a bad time dealing with the menace of leaked personal details:<br /> <br /><b> Meghna Naidu:</b> She filed a police complaint saying that her email id has been hacked. The hacker was trying to malign her image by writing obscene mails to her friends. She said, “The hacker used my gmail account to chat with my friends and even said that I am pregnant and wanted to go for an abortion. The fraud wrote all such obscene things about me.”<br /> <br /><b> Ekta Kapoor:</b> Her email account too got hacked and the hackers sent false messages to her friends through her mail. An insider revealed that Ekta came to know that her email was hacked when she started receiving phone calls from her friends. They said that they received email from her where they have been asked to pay Rs 11,000 if they wished to get audition for her shows. On hearing this, she was shocked.<br /> <br /><b> Arbaaz Khan:</b> “My email account has been hacked for the 2nd time in 7 days. I’m gonna file a complaint with the cyber cell as its a unlawful act,” Arbaaz submited on the microblogging site Twitter. “Hackers don’t look to realise that such an offense can land them in lockup. The act carries a 3 year lockup term. Surprise if all this is worth it,” he added.<br /> <br /><b> Kareena Kapoor:</b> On returning from Morocco with beau Saif Ali Khan, after completing the schedule of “Agent Vinod”, Kareena Kapoor was shocked to find how her personal e-mail id had been hacked into. “When she returned to India, the first thing she wanted to do was check her e-mails. But she couldn’t log into her account despite several attempts. That’s when she realised that her e-mail account had been hacked into. Kareena is really upset because this happens to be one of her oldest e-mail accounts,” a source said!</span><br /><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /></span></div>

Enjoy.”<br /><br />Since many of the hashes are fairly easy to decrypt and since the chances for misuse are high, we will not be providing a link to the data leak.<br /><br />On the other hand, we have reached out to Asus and asked them for additional details regarding the incident.<br /><br />This is not the first major hardware manufacturer to become a target of hackers in the past few days. Last week we’ve learned that <a href="http://www.hackersmedia.com/2012/07/nvidia-developer-zone-user-forum-hacked.html" target="_blank">NVIDIA was forced to shut down</a> its forums because of a breach that may have affected as many as 400,000 users. shop.nvidia.com has also been compromised.<br /><br />Reference: <a href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/ASUS-eStore-Hacked-Administrator-Credentials-Leaked-281346.shtml?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=twitter_web" target="_blank">Link1</a><br /><br /></div>

From that time our first action was against Ankara Security Headquarters and as a result seven innocent people got arrested and they are still imprisoned. The only evidence against them is a PlayStation Cd’s. The dominant powers then decided to transfer the investigation about us to a prosecutor who once managed the Sivas case to drop due to time-frame elapsed, where 33 intellectuals and artists got killed by mob of bigots. Despite this we didn’t stop and we were investigated by National Intelligence Agency (MIT) and complaint was made to Interpol. For disinformation reasons various news was made about us. We still did not stop. Ministry of Interior was hacked twice, 95% of police forces in Turkey were hacked, and other Ministry sites were hacked time to time. Lately we were declared “terrorists” after Ministry of Foreign Affairs was hacked where we have leaked document. All of a sudden cyber teams established against us have mushroomed up. Those couldn’t stop us with help of imperial powers such as USA, EU, Russia or China created “cyber counter-guerrillas” and created sites to vilify us. Also the government, that sees us as terrorists supported these people to attack other countries. They have tried various games to alienate people against us.<br /><br />Very recently attacks started against opposition journalists that makes objective news and lawyers specialises on internet. With the helping hand of the government those fake sites published personal details of these freedom defenders and very harsh/degrading threats were made to them. Just today another dirty “cyber government” attack was made against Birgun (OneDay) newspaper. This must be the very “Cyber Army” that was established against us by establishments such as TUBITAK, TIB and BTK. One of their employee quite recently announced that they will use a different approach against us, this must be it. They will brand those fighting for the truth as a terrorist but will unleash their lamers against journalists, lawyers. This must be their so called “different approach”.<br /><br />As these conditions were set by them and freedom defender’s details are published with the help of government, we have taken a decision. Since they are attacking those people fighting for freedom, we will not let them walk alone. Starting from the beginning, we will publish all the leaked documents we have managed to gather, uncensored.<br /><br />We will only stop when they cease to treat these lamers with double standard and treat them as equal as us.<br /><br />Tomorrow we will start to publish an uncensored police informants file of 70mb.<br /><br />Since we are a “terrorist” and those who publish details of innocent people are heroes, then we will act with the language they understand. We won’t play the inoffensive any longer.<br /><br />The choice is yours; either put the leash on these corrupted lamers that lacks knowledge of code or face the consequences.<br /><br />Lastly, we will not let those take sides with us be alone. We have plenty of jokes and they are funny but they are all real.<br /><br />We don’t ACQUIT We HACK!<br /><br />We won’t embarrass those trust us and walks with us, we won’t leave them alone halfway through this struggle. <br /><br />If we get arrested one day, we will defend our actions. Because bourgeois terrorists cannot judge us.<br /><br />RedHack (Red Hackers Association)</div>
