Readers of Financial Post or National Post blogs might have found them difficult, if not impossible, to access Thursday morning. That is because WordPress, the platform through which every FP and NP blog has been published for the past 10 months, has been under attack by hackers for the past several hours. Using the same method as the hackers who brought down the main websites of Visa, Mastercard and PayPal last year to support the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, Thursday’s attacks have caused thus far untold numbers of WordPress-powered blogs to become nearly inaccessible. “WordPress.com is currently being targeted by an extremely large Distributed Denial of Service attack [DDoS] which is affecting connectivity in some cases,” said Sara Rosso of WordPress VIP services in a blog post Thursday morning. “The size of the attack is multiple Gigabits per second and tens of millions of packets [of data] per second.” “We are working to mitigate the attack, but because of the extreme si...

Security researchers from Symantec warn of a new banking trojan capable of hijacking the SSL connections between browsers and online banking sites in a way that is hard to spot. Variants of this malware, which Symantec detects as Trojan.Tatanarg, have been in circulation since last October, but its code is believed to be based on an older threat called W32.Spamuzle. The trojan has a modular architecture, with separate components handling different tasks, and the functionality of most banking malware. It can inject rogue HTML code into pages (man-in-the-browser attacks), disrupt antivirus software, uninstall other banking trojans and enable Windows remote access. It also features a backdoor component through which attackers can issue commands to control the infected computers. However, the most interesting functionality of this trojan is its ability to function as a proxy between browsers and SSL-secured websites. This is achived by hijacking the legit SSL connection and esta...

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...

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…

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...
