Goal.com Hacked, found to be serving malware !

May 04, 2011
According to Armorize, soccer news site Goal.com was recently found to be serving malware. "In an analysis of the attack, Armorize researcher Wayne Huang suggests that a hacker specifically targeted and compromised Goal.com through a back-door that allowed the attacker to manipulate the site’s content at will," writes threatpost's Brian Donohue. "According to the report, Goal.com was detected on April 27 and 28, 2011 serving up an iframe attack that forwarded visitors to a rogue domain in the .cc top level domain (TLD)," Donohue writes. "That redirect was the first in a chain of events that resulted in the delivery of a known exploit pack, g01pack that targets attacks at the specific operating system and browser version the Goal.com visitor is using. After exploiting the user's browser, further malware, including a Trojan horse program were downloaded to the victim's computer."
PlayStation Network Security Update !

PlayStation Network Security Update !

May 04, 2011
On Tuesday, April 26 Sony shared that some information that was compromised in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network. Once again, Sony’d like to apologize to the many users who were inconvenienced and worried about this situation. Sony want to state this again given the increase in speculation about credit card information being used fraudulently. One report indicated that a group tried to sell millions of credit card numbers back to Sony. To my knowledge there is no truth to this report of a list, or that Sony was offered an opportunity to purchase the list. One other point to clarify is from  this weekend’s press conference . While the passwords that were stored were not “encrypted,” they were transformed using a cryptographic hash function. There is a difference between these two types of security measures which is why Sony said the passwords had not been encrypted. But I want to be very clear that the passwords were not stored in our databa...

Tor 0.2.2.25-alpha released - To Toggle, or not to Toggle & The End of Torbutton!

May 03, 2011
Tor 0.2.2.25-alpha released - To Toggle, or not to Toggle & The End of Torbutton! Tor 0.2.2.25-alpha fixes many bugs: hidden service clients are more robust, routers no longer overreport their bandwidth, Win7 should crash a little less, and NEWNYM (as used by Vidalia's "new identity" button)now prevents hidden service-related activity from being linkable. It provides more information to Vidalia so you can see if your bridge is working. Also, 0.2.2.25-alpha revamps the Entry/Exit/ExcludeNodes and StrictNodes configuration options to make them more reliable, more understandable, and more regularly applied. If you use those options, please see the revised documentation for them in the manual page.

Assange says Facebook is spying tool for US intelligence !

May 03, 2011
Assange says Facebook is spying tool for US intelligence ! WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange has branded Facebook an “appalling spying machine”. According to Assange, whose WikiLeaks whistle-blowing site has propelled him into the media limelight, US intelligence services have direct access to records of Facebook users. “Facebook is the most appalling spying machine that's ever been invented,” he said in an interview with Russia Today. “Here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people, their relationships, their addresses and locations, their communications with each other - all sitting within the United States and all accessible to US intelligence.” Assange claimed that because of the costs involved each time an internet company was asked for access to specific data files, the big companies have built in back doors for officials to help themselves to whatever data they wanted. “Facebook, Google, Yahoo – all these major US organisations - hav...

Netherlands-based Rabobank down under DDoS attack !

May 03, 2011
Netherlands-based Rabobank down under DDoS attack ! The internet and mobile banking services of Netherlands-based Rabobank were crippled by a distributed denial of service attack yesterday. The attack sent the banking services offline but did not affect Australian operations, according to the bank. "Currently many of our clients experienced [difficulty] when using internet banking," the bank wrote in a statement. A large range of network traffic [has] to do with an attack in the form of a DDOS." The perpetrators of the attacks were unknown, and the bank has not said if they were behind a seperate DDoS attack in Feburary. A Dutch anarchist group called the Conspiracy Cells of Fire claimed responsibility for the Feburary attacks in a communique but the Dutch domestic intelligence service AIVD said the claim was a hoax. The bank has issued an apology on its Dutch website and moved to assure customers that account information had not been compromised.
