Operation Payback is Back with Target 'Copywrong (TBA)' !

Operation Payback is Back with Target 'Copywrong (TBA)' !

Mar 03, 2011
Operation Payback is Back with Target ' Copywrong (TBA) ' ! Just Now one more Press Release posted on Anonymous Official Website, that Operation Payback is back ! The Content of the Press Release is as shown below : Since early 2011, Anonymous has busied itself with very successful operations which it can be very much proud of. Not only has Anonymous proven that it is a force to be reckoned with, it has grown in strength and diversity, and it continues to gain numbers and attract attention from all over the world. Anons all over the world can be proud of what they have achieved. Operation Payback has now begun its "researching" phase, due to some actions taken by some copyright organisations, including "BREIN", who have censored popular sites on the internet over the past couple of weeks. This censorship can't be taken lightly, it is time to avert some attention to them and enable them to realise that this kind of censorship will not be tolerated...
Ashton Kutcher’s Twitter Account Hacked By Geek Activist !

Ashton Kutcher's Twitter Account Hacked By Geek Activist !

Mar 03, 2011
Hey, look: Ashton Kutcher's Twitter  account  was hacked in the name of Internet justice. Someone broke into his account and tweeted the messages above. Judging from their message, they probably used the notorious "Firesheep" application, which makes it easy for anyone to hijack other people's unsecured browsing sessions over wi-fi. The point the mysterious hacker(s) was making is that many of our favourite web applications, like Twitter, don't use high-security "SSL" encryption to protect their data. This makes it easier for people to snoop on users for nefarious means, like cracking down on Internet activists. Facebook recently enabled SSL, to the praise of human rights advocates and consumer groups. Kutcher's at TED right now, so he's probably been the victim of some well-meaning nerd. Kutcher should feel lucky that the person didn't feel like picking fights with random celebrities. Unless he's in on the prank…

Operation Icarus : Will Anonymous shut down the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) ? Anonymous Hackers starts  Operation Icarus , They Release a Press Release Regarding This, as Posted Below :  Operation Icarus Attention Brothers: The opportunity to create financial chaos and public unrest and from that, there will be a previously unachieved amount of lulz to be had. Charge your lasers and aim them at the the New York Stock Exchange. (NYSE.com) It has been said that humanity is not an end in itself but rather a means to an end. We have shown the world our strength to deny ignorance, overcome adversity, fight oppression and even the power to throw a wrench in the system that perpetuates it. We are enslaved within a matrix of institutions with the illusion that each stands alone, each fighting for power, for profits, for the scraps on the table that represent humanities dwindling resources. In reality however, these institutions; the arms industries, banking and other fi...

Google buy Reverse Engineering Company Zynamics (German security firm) !

Google buy Reverse Engineering Company Zynamics (German security firm) !

Mar 02, 2011
Google has just acquired a small German software company called Zynamics. The company, which was founded in 2004, focuses on reverse engineering — that is, analyzing software (malware in particular) for which no source code is available. It's an incredibly interesting and complicated problem to try to solve, which makes the Zynamics team and product a perfect fit for Google, a company that's known for tackling interesting and complicated problems. A Google rep said in an e-mail, "We're delighted to have the Zynamics team aboard and hope their tools and skills in fighting malware will help us better protect Google's users." While we're not completely sure what the fate of the company will be, we do know that its goals and expertise line up particularly well with Google's aims in online security. Currently, Zynamics's offerings focus on the needs of information security specialists and malware analysts. Its products are allegedly both innovative and time-saving. The company's ...

London Stock Exchange website gets hacked with Malware Ads !

London Stock Exchange website gets hacked with Malware Ads !

Mar 01, 2011
London Stock Exchange website gets hacked with Malware Ads ! THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE (LSE) website has been bombarded with fake insecurity software adverts that point to malware. It seems that dodgy security ads have been unknowingly hosted at the LSE website for at least a few months. An analysis of the website revealed that 363 pages had unwittingly hosted the malicious ads over a 90 day period. The LSE told the BBC that the website has now been given a clean bill of health and it suspects that adverts provided by a third party were responsible for the malware. Insecurity expert Paul Mutton ran analyses on the website after clicking on the dodgy links yesterday. Apparently the target website was blocked by Firefox but Mutton got infected through Google's Chrome web browser, in which he was hit with a ridiculous number of pop up ads. Using Google's safe browsing scheme to scan for suspicious code, Mutton found that the LSE website had been listed as hosting dodgy adv...
