QNet confirmed that E -commerce portal was down due to DDoS attack QNet has confirmed that its e-commerce portal was recently the target of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. This caused its main website to be offline for over 36 hours. QI Group IT Director, TG Kintanar said, "As a global direct selling company with a busy trading portal, it is not unusual for QNet to become a target for such attacks, although this has never happened before." QNet is a subsidiary of the QI Group of Companies. "Let me stress that the cyber-attack on our website was not the work of hackers. The DDoS merely blocked customers' access to our services, causing them great inconvenience. However, as QNet's online security measures were in place, our customer database remained intact throughout the attack. Nothing was compromised." Kintanar said. He added that upon noticing the attack on March 9, the QNet IT team immediately started working round-the-clock to set up an alternate transacti...

Comodo hacker claim no relation to Iranian Cyber Army ! The alleged hacker of Comodo stepped forward this weekend to explain how he generated bogus SSL certificates for login.skype.com, mail.google.com, login.live.com and other popular internet websites. His story is that he was able to compromise Comodo's partner GlobalTrust.it and InstantSSL.it. Both sites are currently "under construction." He brags how he decided to bring down the SSL root certificate system and began by attacking the RSA algorithm, but when he found the vulnerabilities in these websites he decided on that approach. On that point I would have to agree with him, as hacking the RSA algorithm seems a significantly more difficult challenge, but the text of his "manifesto" is so full of bravado it is difficult to even read. While he is Iranian, he claims no association with the "Iranian Cyber Army" and insists he is simply a hacker with a 1000 times the knowledge and experienc...

Operation #Payback Next target #OpSony by # Anonymous Anonymous Next Press Release as follows : Dear ######## SONY, Congratulations! You are now receiving the attention of Anonymous. Your recent legal actions against fellow internet citizens, GeoHot and Graf_Chokolo have been deemed an unforgivable offense against free speech and internet freedom, primary sources of free lulz (and you know how we feel about lulz.) You have abused the judicial system in an attempt to censor information about how your products work. You have victimized your own customers merely for possessing and sharing information, and continue to target those who seek this information. In doing so you have violated the privacy of thousands of innocent people who only sought the free distribution of information. Your suppression of this information is motivated by corporate greed and the desire for complete control over the actions of individuals who purchase and use your products, at least when those actio...

Inside Story : How RSA was got hacked ! The hack last month at RSA Security has been shrouded in mystery. How did a hacker manage to infiltrate one of the world's top computer-security companies? And could the data that was stolen be used to impair its SecurID products, which are used by 40 million businesses that are trying to keep their own networks safe from intruders? The division of the EMC Corporation is staying mum about what exactly was stolen from its computer systems, aside from that is was data related to SecurID. But on Friday RSA shed some light on the nature of the attack. In a blog post titled "Anatomy of an Attack," the company's head of new technologies, Uri Rivner, described a three-stage operation that was similar to several other recent prominent attacks on technology companies, including a 2009 attack on Google that it said originated in China. In the attack on RSA, the attacker sent "phishing" e-mails with the subject line "2011 Recruitment Plan" to two...
