Kroger Customer Database Hacked !

Kroger Customer Database Hacked !

Apr 03, 2011
Kroger Customer Database Hacked ! The company announced in an e-mail to customers their system has been hacked by someone outside the company. This means the hacker had access to customer names and e-mail addresses contained in the Kroger database. Kroger stresses only the names and e-mail addresses of customers who voluntarily submitted those addresses to the company may be affected. Kroger says you may receive spam messages from senders you do not know. So, if you receive an e-mail from an unknown sender, do not open it. For more information, you can call Kroger customer service at 800-KROGERS.

Comodo hacker claim no relation to Iranian Cyber Army !

Comodo hacker claim no relation to Iranian Cyber Army !

Apr 02, 2011
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...

Between Buzz and Reality: The CTEM Conversation We All Need

Between Buzz and Reality: The CTEM Conversation We All Need

Jun 24, 2025Threat Exposure Management
I had the honor of hosting the first episode of the Xposure Podcast live from Xposure Summit 2025. And I couldn't have asked for a better kickoff panel: three cybersecurity leaders who don't just talk security, they live it. Let me introduce them. Alex Delay , CISO at IDB Bank, knows what it means to defend a highly regulated environment. Ben Mead , Director of Cybersecurity at Avidity Biosciences, brings a forward-thinking security perspective that reflects the innovation behind Avidity's targeted RNA therapeutics. Last but not least, Michael Francess , Director of Cybersecurity Advanced Threat at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, leads the charge in protecting the franchise. Each brought a unique vantage point to a common challenge: applying Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) to complex production environments. Gartner made waves in 2023 with a bold prediction: organizations that prioritize CTEM will be three times less likely to be breached by 2026. But here's the kicker -...

Operation #Payback Next target #OpSony by #Anonymous

Apr 02, 2011
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 !

Inside Story : How RSA was got hacked !

Apr 02, 2011
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...

Fake 'Walk and Text' App steals Android user data !

Fake 'Walk and Text' App steals Android user data !

Mar 31, 2011
Android users who download a pirated copy of the Walk and Text app are strolling smack into trouble. The rogue app, called Android. Walkinwat, is a corrupted version of the legitimate Android Walk and Text app, the security firm Symantec reported. Walk and Text, which can be found in many third-party app stores in North America and China, uses a smartphone's camera to show users what's in front of them as they're walking and texting. Once Walkinwat is downloaded, a dialogue box appears on the user's phone that, according to Symantec, "gives the appearance that the app is in the process of being compromised or cracked, when, in fact, the app is gathering and attempting to send back sensitive data (name, phone number, IMEI information, etc.) to an external server." This is far from the first instance of a corrupted Android app that harvests user data; in early March, a rogue piece of software called DroidDream was found in 58 apps, which were downloaded more than 200,000 times befor...
