Feb 26, 2011
Just now, Anonymous hackers Release a new press note for the people of world. The words are as given below : Dear Citizens of the World.

Motorola Xoom Gets Hacked In Under An Hour after Release !

Motorola Xoom Gets Hacked In Under An Hour after Release !

Feb 26, 2011
Despite just being released on February 24th, the Motorola Xoom has become the newest victim of developer rooting, and it took less than two hours to do it. Xeriouxly. The best part? The Clockwork Recovery running on it means that other developers can now create their own custom ROMs to hack whatever they want onto the tablet. Clockwork Recovery, also known as ClockworkMod, is a recovery console used on rooted Android Google devices, mainly using for flashing custom ROMs. It can make and restore backups, and it fairly straightforward to install too. The root was done by coder " Koushi ", pretty much as soon as he got his copy of the device home. In a blog post, he explained how he managed to get the custom root running so quickly. He got Clockwork Recovery running by building up a recovery (which he will not release yet due to the SD slot being non-functional at the moment) via  AOSP 's kernel and then using a ROM manager to get Superuser on the Xoom. He has a...

Hackers Could Exploit Federal Government Shutdown !

Hackers Could Exploit Federal Government Shutdown !

Feb 25, 2011
The federal government's list of emergency network security personnel has not been updated in 15 years, putting national security at high risk if a shutdown takes place on March 4. The possible government shutdown scheduled for March 4, 2011 could trigger a cyberwar emergency. If non-essential government employees end up being furloughed in early March, the federal government's computer systems will be run by a shortlist of critical-need employees. One major problem: The federal government's list of critical-need computer security employees has not been updated in over 15 years. According to the influential Nextgov website, the government's emergency call-up IT security list was last updated in 1995, ahead of the last federal government shutdown. "In 1995, we already had that decided," said Hord Tipton, a former Interior Department chief information officer who was Bureau of Land Management assistant director for resource use and protection during the ...

An Open Letter to PayPal from Anonymous Hackers !

Feb 25, 2011
An Open Letter to PayPal from Anonymous Hackers ! Just Now  Anonymous Hackers Publish and open letter to Paypal , The Copy of Letter is as Given Below : Dear PayPal staff, In recent news (reference below) we took notice that you froze the account of Courage to Resist, the organization raising funds for legal support of U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning. We regret to learn that after the massive protest in December 2010, PayPal has yet to appreciate  the untenable position they have found themselves in. PayPal stands at the epicenter of the  conflict of interests between the United States government and the First Amendment of the  United States Constitution. You are already aware that Bradley Manning's motives and reasoning  are politically grounded. However, his motives and/or reasoning are not and should not be any  concern to you. Additionally, by refusing to process the aforementioned legal funds you are  patently interfering with the defendant...
Cyber crime Complaints in US Fell by 10% in 2010 !

Cyber crime Complaints in US Fell by 10% in 2010 !

Feb 25, 2011
The U.S. agency that tracks complaints of criminal activity on the Internet reported Thursday that fewer people complained about Internet fraud in 2010 than in the previous year. The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) runs a Web site where victims can report details of any cyberfraud. It shares the data with law enforcement agencies to help them hunt down criminals. Last year it received 303,809 complaints, almost 10 percent fewer than the previous year's total of 336,655. The IC3 is run by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National White Collar Crime Center. It released its annual report Thursday, based on data submitted in 2010. The largest single source of complaints was from people who had been duped by criminals posing as buyers and sellers. International scammers, preying on eBay and Craigslist users, have made millions over the past decade. Just last week, a Romanian national, Adrian Ghighina, pleaded guilty to his role in a scam that took in $2.7 ...
Google tweaks Search algorithm to reduce the search spam !

Google tweaks Search algorithm to reduce the search spam !

Feb 25, 2011
Google has warned that search rankings will be changing after it refined its systems to weed out content farms and other search spammers. Changes made in the last 24 hours have “noticeably impacts” on around 12 per cent of search queries. The changes are designed to block out so-called content farm – sites which contain a large amount of copied or poor quality content. Instead sites which contain original content, research and analysis will receive preferential treatment. “ We can’t make a major improvement without affecting rankings for many sites. It has to be that some sites will go up and some will go down ,” said the  Google blog . “It is important for high-quality sites to be rewarded, and that’s exactly what this change does.” Google said that the changes had not been influenced by the results of its Chrome Blocklist extension, which was launched last week. However it said that the top few dozen sites it had downgraded matched the data from the extension by 84 per cent. Th...
Anonymous Hackers send a video message to Westboro Baptist Church !

Anonymous Hackers send a video message to Westboro Baptist Church !

Feb 24, 2011
Anonymous doesn't kid around and the Westboro Baptist Church learned that the hard way. The hacktivist group took down their website and left a stern message. The two groups, the radical hackers which launch denial-of-service attacks and the radical religious organization which preaches its message about God by protesting military funerals, have been sparring through the Internet and online message boards. The feud began with a "letter" from Anonymous to Westboro Baptist Church, explaining if the church didn't stop their "benighted gospel of hatred" and "fascist views," Anonymous would target their websites. Then WBC responded to the letter telling Anonymous to "bring it." Anonymous followed that by explaining the initial letter was a trap set up by "attention whoring idiots." WBC took exception to that and said in reality, Anonymous had attempted, and failed, to hack their sites. WBC spokesperson Margie Phelps said the se...
St George's University of London medical school's Database Hacked !

St George's University of London medical school's Database Hacked !

Feb 24, 2011
The Metropolitan Police were called in after vandals breached a database maintained by  St George's University of London medical school  and sent obscene mails to the users of the database. The emails claimed that the database was "closed due to Aids", and that university executive board members were involved in child pornography. The Guardian newspaper reported that the breach occurred last week in the Primary Care Electronic Library [PCEL] database, a list of UK based doctors and nurses. PCEL does not contain patient medical records. According to the university, only the PCEL database server was affected and not the main university server. Confidential details of partners, staff and students were not compromised.
Lush website is back online after hacking !

Lush website is back online after hacking !

Feb 24, 2011
POOLE-based cosmetics retailer Lush is back online after it was forced to suspend internet sales after hackers attacked its website. Lush closed the site last month and asked anyone who placed an online order between October 4 and January 20 to contact their bank in case their card details had been compromised. A temporary site was back up and running late on Friday, before the full website re-launches. Shoppers are now being directed away from the Lush site when they come to the checkout, making payments at the Worldpay site. An online message to shoppers reads: “You can shop with confidence knowing that your details will be safe. Meanwhile the rest of the site has been tested by external experts to check that our processes are all as secure as they can be.” It adds: “Thank you all for coming back to us and trusting us to serve you again.” Lush became aware that its security had been breached on Christmas Day and investigated, but only told customers on January 21 when it sh...
