Here In the title i have mentioned that "Man Tunnels" It means that he literally tunneled into the system. Game Piracy is the business all over the world.But there are some guys who don't need to do piracy.They are digging into the system of the local game shop sites and making stocks as much as then can in no time. This man has stolen games like Greeneville & Tennesse , After that he got arrested in last week for being tunneling into the local game shop.Steven Archer, 33, making off with almost $300 in cash and around $5,400 in games. But truth always wins.He could not enjoy his his gotten gains ( The games which are stolen By this man )and he got arrested last week.The man was arrested by Detective Pat Hankins.He was being charged with felony burglary. So the conclusion is that the people who don't want to spent money to buy games,they should wait to come the money in their hand and then to buy original game cd/dvd rather to digging into the system and g...

Military "cyber weaponry" will become commonplace this century, but it will be unlikely to deter attacks by "hacktivists" and criminal gangs, and could easily be used for state-sponsored cyber attacks instead, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development warns. The British authors of the study, which is released today, also caution that "lurid language" and lobbying by technology firms distort the government's plans to protect Britain against cyber attacks. Professor Peter Sommer of the LSE and Dr Ian Brown of Oxford University's internet institute were commissioned by the OECD for one of a series of investigations into potential "future global shocks". Their report comes at a time of heightened awareness of online attacks following hacking protests against companies caught up in the WikiLeaks controversy. In response to other hacking attacks from groups inside China and Russia, military preparations have begun to ga...

Four years after the phone-hacking scandal at the News of the World saw the newspaper's former royal correspondent, Clive Goodman, jailed, the story refuses to die. Each week another celebrity launches a legal action against the paper, generating a fresh batch of damaging allegations that Rupert Murdoch's media empire could do without. The Observer has established that at least six people have issued proceedings against the paper, with potentially scores more in the pipeline. The problems for the tabloid, however, are not confined to these cases. Eleven people are taking separate legal action against Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator at the heart of the scandal, who is appealing against a decision to make him divulge which journalists on the paper paid him to hack phones. Until this case is resolved – the court of appeal is expected to hand down a judgment in May – many outstanding issues cannot be addressed. "It's vital that the court of appeal acts to br...

Those remote key fobs nearly all automakers offer -- turns out they're fairly easy to hack so the bad guys can unlock your car and high-tail it before you even finish your shopping. Your only advantage: If your car has a remote that still requires a key, the bad guys can't start it easily, even though they can open the doors and trunk and get inside. Cars that have keyless entry and the push-button ignition switches becoming more common are in the most jeopardy. The thieves can, in fact, start those vehicles because the same purloined signal that opens the doors also tells the push-button system it's OK to start the car when somebody pushes the button. The setup for hacking is easy, but not simple. It requires a couple of special antenna and a certain proximity to the victim, the Swiss researchers found. The research company, ETH Zürich, hacked into eight automakers' remote-entry systems. No coding system could stop it, the researchers said.

Christopher Baker spent Boxing Day as a VJ – video jockey – for a warehouse party in Liverpool. Among the items being used was a Microsoft Kinect controller, normally used to play Xbox 360 games such as Kinectimals or Kinect Sports. But Baker wasn't playing games: the system was rigged up to a computer running software to interpret the movement data being gathered by the system. The software Baker had written monitored how the clubbers were moving and used that to affect the sound, creating a feedback loop between dancers and sound. "It was popular with the clubbers because they could interact directly with the sound and were immersed in the experience," he says. Baker, who works at Apposing, a mobile app development company based in Liverpool, is one among hundreds of people who have embraced the Kinect not for its potential in gaming (though that is substantial), but because, unusually for an Xbox accessory, its outputs can be put to different – and in some cases revo...

A group of hackers, claiming to be from Kashmir, on Thursday night hacked a website dedicated to the Bollywood superstar, Amitabh Bacchan. The group calling itself 'Cyber Stone Pelters Force or Cyber Sangbaaz Force' hacked www. amitabhbachchanonline.com last night and posted pro-independence, anti-India, anti-Israel and anti-United States content on the home page. The hackers have also uploaded a song of Roushan Illahi, popularly known as MC Kash, a Kashmir youth who created ripples on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter with his track "I protest ", which deals with the death of over 113 people, mainly teenagers in government forces' action during pro-freedom demonstrations last summer. "Hello Mr admin, you got owned by Cyber Sangbaaz Force, Cyber Stone pelters Force from Indian Occupied Kashmir," reads the introductory message on the website. Slogans like "Down with America," "Down with Israel," "Down with India," "Free Palestine," "Free Kashmir," "Go India Go ...

Excuse me for typing breathlessly, faithful Naked Security reader, but I have some incredible news to share. I have just been informed that I have won three million Euros from none other than the Bill Gates Foundation! I had no idea that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which normally fights poverty around the world and promotes healthcare, even ran a lottery - let alone that I had entered. But clearly, I did and now one of their representatives has been in touch to tell me the good news. Bill and Melinda Gates are renowned around the world for their incredible generosity - they're not only planning to give millions away to me, but they're also happy to employ staff who spells the boss's surname incorrectly. It's great that Bill and Melinda are not adverse to employing people with literacy problems. Counting isn't this emailer's strong point either. He's managed to attach a grand total of 69 files to this email telling me about my windfall. Eventually...

The Korean Times reports the arrest of a pair of hackers over the weekend on DDoS charges. According to prosecutors, the pair, Lee and Park, operated a gambling website on behalf of a crime gang. In an effort to boost traffic to their own site, they used a 50,000-strong botnet to overload 109 rival sites during November and December 2010. A botnet, of course, is a collection of malware-infected computers (often called "zombies") which can remotely be instructed to initiate network-related activity. Sending spam is a common criminal task for which zombies are used; visiting targeted websites deliberately to waste their bandwidth is another. Since most web requests look alike, distinguishing the web hits of malevolent time-wasters from those of potential customers can be tricky. Sites which don't usually get a large number of simultaneous requests often aren't built to sustain heavy load. Prosecutors also allege that Lee, who runs a server rental company - ironically th...

Evidence, leaked accidentally, points to Chinese based miscreants' knowledge, and potential exploitation, of the latest  Microsoft Corporation  (NasdaqGS:  MSFT )  Internet Explorer  zero day, via a recently released  Google Inc.'s  (NasdaqGS:  GOOG ) researcher's( Michal Zalewski ) fuzzer application… Ooops. More, after the jump. A renowned Google researcher who this week released a new free fuzzer that so far has found around 100 vulnerabilities in all browsers says Chinese hackers appear to have gotten their hands on one of the same bugs he discovered with the tool. Google's Michal Zalewski unleashed the so-called cross_fuzz tool on New Year's Day and announced the fuzzer to date uncovered more than 100 vulnerabilities, many of them exploitable, in all browsers. In a bizarre twist, Zalewski says an accidental leak of the address of the fuzzer prior to its release helped reveal some unexpected intelligence, namely that "third parties in China" ...
