Virus Alert : Tweet Viewer Worm Crawling Around Twitter !

Virus Alert : Tweet Viewer Worm Crawling Around Twitter !

Mar 06, 2011
Be careful what you click on when you’re using Twitter, because there is a “ Tweet Viewer ” worm afoot. Under the guise of revealing who’s been visiting your Twitter profile, when you click on its link it asks for your Twitter authorization, and then tweets that same message to more unsuspecting users. Keep in mind that merely clicking on the link is not going to automatically authorize anything — that only happens if you click the Authorize button after clicking the link. So, like many viruses, worms and scams, you have to actively give it to yourself, rather than having it attack you as you stand by innocently. The worm appears like this (notice the tweetviewer link): What to do if you’ve been caught up in this? It’s easy enough to go to Settings/Connection/Revoke Access, and then you’re free of it. Here’s the help page if you need more info. And now, link shortener Bit.ly has stopped the unpleasantness for now by blocking domains hosting those scam links. However, if the app...

Ashton Kutcher's Twitter account hacked !

Mar 06, 2011
TV prankster Ashton Kutcher has been Punk’d – jokers hacked into his beloved Twitter account on Wednesday. The actor famously fooled celebrities including Beyoncé, Kanye West, and Pete Wentz on his MTV hidden camera show in which he played outrageous practical jokes on his unsuspecting victims. However, computer hackers have now turned the tables on Kutcher – they broke into his Twitter blog on Wednesday and wrote, “Ashton, you’ve been Punk’d. This account is not secure... P.S. This is for those young protesters around the world who deserve not to have their Facebook & Twitter accounts hacked like this.” Kutcher’s page is one of the most popular on the microblogging website, attracting 6.3 million followers.

Trojan & Botnet Activities Increased in February-March !

Mar 05, 2011
Trojans were the most prolific malware threat in February-March, and collaboration seems to be the name of the game in malware development and distribution. Trojan-based attacks continue to be the biggest malware threat in February, but PDF exploits aren’t far behind, according to several security reports. About 1 in 290 e-mails in February were malicious, making the month one of the most prolific periods for the threats, according to Symantec’s February 2011 MessageLabs Intelligence Report. The global ratio of spam in e-mail traffic was 81.3 percent, an increase of 2.7 percent since January, the report found. The recent decline in spam appears to have reversed for the time being, according to the report. There was a lot of botnet activity in February, and the perpetrators appeared to be working together to some extent to distribute Trojans, according to Symantec. There were signs of integration across Zeus, Bredolab and SpyEye, as techniques associated with one malware family w...

Anonymous : We have Revolution in mind , we can change the World ! We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us. — Anonymous They are Internet Heroes, hackers and hijackers, information rebels, revolutionaries and resisters. They are you, me, the grunt in the next cubicle, the geek who fixes your computer. They are Anonymous, an informal collective of  interactivists  that last month virtually armed protestors in Tunisia and Egypt with the necessary knowledge to topple governments: How to keep safe during protests. How to bypass censors. How not to leave an online trail. How to keep posting YouTubes when the dictators have pulled the Internet plug.

Cyber Attacks Hit Nearly 40 South Korean websites !

Cyber Attacks Hit Nearly 40 South Korean websites !

Mar 05, 2011
According to a new report, 40 South Korean websites came under a cyber crime attack by a computer virus, including the presidential Blue House, South Korea’s biggest bank , a major online auction house, the Foreign Ministry, the two largest search engines in the country and Korean military website. Although it was not immediately clear who has been behind the attack, the National Police Agency began investigating the assault that has been discovered by AhnLab, a leading Internet security firm based in Seoul. Most computer analysts declared that the episode was a distributed denial of service cyber crime attack. Usually, in such cases, the infected computers also known as zombies try to access targeted websites at the same time in an attempt to overwhelm the sites with a surge of traffic that crashes their servers. According to a statement released by a South Korean government official the computer system at the Blue House has not been damaged too bad. “We were attacked, but it was def...

Mozilla introduces the "Web Apps" project just before release of release of Firefox 4 final !

Mar 04, 2011
Shortly before the release of the final version of Firefox 4, the Mozilla developers have introduced the " Web Apps " project. These apps are expected to play a major role play in future browsers, and in such a future, the browser will not just be for viewing web pages but will be a platform for locally installed applications. Web Application programmers need do little more than create a manifest; this is a specification which lists the structure and content of the application, and is enough to deploy the app. Applications are able to share resources and will make use of the HTML5 specification for offline caching of these resources by means of the application cache. Instead of users having to go through the normal procedure of installing and launching applications, Mozilla provides new JavaScript functions to perform these tasks. A User Agent will install the app, launch it, and grant additional privileges. Mozilla is making available experimental Web Apps extensions for ...

Cyber Ethics, Safety and Security Education is essential for Indian users ?

Mar 04, 2011
India is an emerging economy investing in computerization and broadband for rapid and balanced economic development. The Indian government has embarked on large egovernance programs and enablers like the Unique ID program (UID) which provides a unique biometric based ID for all Indian residents. The private sector has begun using ecommerce and the IT industry has established India as a leading destination for IT services. Grooming our children in computer use is a well recognized essential. Today’s generation is a technology savvy one. It is quite common to observe young children surfing and gaming on the Internet. Most children do not realize what a pre-computer era was. But the impetus on cyber education to ensure use of the Internet in a responsible, safe and secure manner is lacking in educational curriculums. The onus on cyber education is largely placed on the Indian parent who may not be familiar with computers or the Internet. This generation gap does not make them good teache...
