Yahoo! PH Purple Hunt 2.0 Ad Compromised !

Apr 25, 2011
Yahoo! PH Purple Hunt 2.0 Ad Compromised ! Earlier the other day, I was browsing through the Yahoo! PH site and the Yahoo! Purple Hunt 2.0 ad caught my attention. Curious as I am, I clicked on the ad and surprisingly my browser downloaded a suspicious file named com.com. Apparently this ad redirected me to a randomly generated URL similar to the following which, unfortunately, led to the malicious download: hxxp://want6.{BLOCKED}.com/se/3da19bea8f9c03e96c9b1acad9cce5a88a2244f0a34d69 c09b8d3198b2797726789be0228c0df3c762ed088a2327b07f4a183fa6fa753b0acfd7f0afc2d2b 13b801ba978269fcda413f53e/960b0a2a/com.com hxxp://nose8.{BLOCKED}.com/se/3da19bea8f9c03e96c9b1acad9cce5a88a2244f0a34d69c 09b8d3198b2797726789be0228c0df3c762ed088a2327b07f4a183fa6fa753b0acfd7f0afc2d2b 13b801ba978269fcda413f53e/960b0a2a/com.com hxxp://letter6.{BLOCKED}.com/se/3da19bea8f9c03e96c9b1acad9cce5a88a2244f0a34d69c0 9b8d3198b2797726789be0228c0f3c762ed088a2327b07f4a183fa6fa753b0acfd7f0afc2d2b13 b801ba978269...

The Unusual Suspect: Git Repos

The Unusual Suspect: Git Repos

Jul 14, 2025Secrets Management / SaaS Security
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...

PlayStation Network Hacked, Information leaked ! Update :  [THN] The Hacker News Exclusive Report on Sony 3rd Attack Issue ! While the PlayStation Network is down, a lot of gamers are curious as to what have been the reasons to this outrageous downtime. Today, Media Molecule said that the PSN is once again, hacked. According to the post that Media Molecule posted today, the PSN is hacked and it warned users not to enter any personal information including credit card, etc until the PSN website says it's okay. Here's what Media Molecule posted: The PSN is still down because of a hack and will remain out of service for another while yet (worst-case scenario would be 1 or 2 more days). DO NOT enter ANY personal information (credit card information etc.) until the PSN website says its OK. Even once the PSN website says it's OK, please wait at least 2 hours to make sure it's a legitimate announcement. But for the moment, you should be patient and don't worry about it. As wha...

Facebook hacker posts stolen pics on porn site !

Apr 23, 2011
Facebook hacker posts stolen pics on porn site ! A 26-year-old man faces 13 felony charges after being accused of hacking into Facebook accounts, stealing photos of young women and posting them on porn sites, reports the Kansas City Star. Along with content belonging to the 13 young women (ages 17 to 25), Timothy P. Noirjean is accused of victimizing, investigators found 92 folders on his computer containing names or photos of women, as well as 235 email addresses with security information. Noirjean confessed to accessing more than 100 Facebook accounts, and told police he was unaware that it's a crime. The shocking thing here isn't that there are predators on the Internet, that Noirjean claims ignorance of the law, that police arrested Noirjean in his parents' basement (which, according to the report, they totally did) or that young ladies of today have porn-worthy photos of themselves in unencrypted files on their computers. It's that Noirjean carried out his crime...
