HACKERS HAVE EXPLOITED a security vulnerability at the Bittorrent tracking website Pirate Bay, hacked its user database and harvested personal information to send out spam. Some Pirate Bay users have reported receiving dodgy spam emails claiming to come as official mail from the website. The spammers hardly pushed to make them seem like legitimate emails because they said users can make money from the website. Oh, really? The dodgy emails were sent to the Bittorrent news website Torrent Freak and Pirate Bay responded to say it hadn't sent any emails out to its users but it hasn't offered a response as to how its database was breached. "A course has been put together to show you how to use The Pirate Bay to make some serious money. This seriously works," said the spam. The spam is an obvious fraud but it will be a worry to the chaps at the Pirate Bay because it highlights that the website has a security flaw and its database has been compromised. Pirate Bay sho...

Federal investigators arrested and indicted a former Bridgeport resident who they say orchestrated a scam in which foreign nationals applied for and received credit cards on which they charged up to $465,000 worth of goods before leaving the country with the banks holding the tab. A federal grand jury late Wednesday indicted Mohammad Takhtarawanji, also known as Abu Terak, 58, formerly of Bridgeport and the man the FBI said headed the operation that recruited Arab nationals. Takhtarawanji faces a charge of conspiring to commit wire fraud and the reputed head is under arrest and facing seven charges of wire fraud. Each of charges carries a maximum of 20 years in prison. He has been arrested and is being detained without bond. An affidavit filed by FBI Special Agent Michael J. Wojciga claims Takhtarawanji was paid $5,000 to come to Connecticut from Florida to oversee the ring. Here helped recruit Arab nationals to apply for credit cards, run the cards to their maximum, pay off a porti...

While phishing and ransomware dominate headlines, another critical risk quietly persists across most enterprises: exposed Git repositories leaking sensitive data. A risk that silently creates shadow access into core systems Git is the backbone of modern software development, hosting millions of repositories and serving thousands of organizations worldwide. Yet, amid the daily hustle of shipping code, developers may inadvertently leave behind API keys, tokens, or passwords in configuration files and code files, effectively handing attackers the keys to the kingdom. This isn't just about poor hygiene; it's a systemic and growing supply chain risk. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, so do compliance requirements. Security frameworks like NIS2, SOC2, and ISO 27001 now demand proof that software delivery pipelines are hardened and third-party risk is controlled. The message is clear: securing your Git repositories is no longer optional, it's essential. Below, we look at the ris...

Facebook made some important changes to the way in Facebook Pages, the fan pages set up by brands, bands and even cucumbers could be created. In the past the tabs which could be added to these pages have been set up in two ways; the first used the Facebook FBML app. This allowed page tabs to be created using static Facebook Markup Language (FBML) or HTML, it wasn't particularly engaging but it was very simple to use. The second method for creating page tabs was by adding a custom Facebook app inside a standard FBML tab. This meant the custom app could request external data from a third party and display it inside the page tab. This content though was subject to many technical limitations, as it was all proxied through Facebook which broke many things including tracking pixels, JavaScript and Flash. So what is the big change? Well Facebook now allow iframes to be included inside Facebook apps on page tabs, meaning that all that Facebook proxying can be avoided. While this is no doub...
