Apr 06, 2011
Against the backdrop of the attack on its website by " Pakistan Cyber Army ", the CBI is considering to send its team to the US and Europe to trace hackers involved in the defacement. Sources said the agency officials have pin-pointed three Internet Protocol (IP) address -- a unique numerical label borne by each computer in a network that use worldwide web for communications -- two originated from Seattle, Pennsylvania in the US and other in Daugavpils, Latvia in northern Europe. They said the agency has moved a local court here seeking permission to access authorities in the US and Latvia for collecting information on the IP addresses.

New Chinese MBR Rootkit Identified

New Chinese MBR Rootkit Identified

Apr 06, 2011
A new rootkit that uses the master boot record (MBR) to hide itself has been discovered in China and is being used to install an online game password stealer. The bootkit is installed on the computer by a trojan downloader distributed from a Chinese adult site and is detected by Kaspersky as Rookit.Win32.Fisp.a. Once executed, the rootkit makes a copy of the old MBR and replaces the sectors with its own code which includes an encrypted driver. When the computer boots, the malicious code executes and restores the original MBR so that Windows can load normally. It then uses hooks to replace the fips.sys system driver with a malicious one. "It should be noted that the driver fips.sys is not required for the operating system to run correctly, so the system won't crash when it is replaced," says Kaspersky Lab expert Vyacheslav Zakorzhevsky. The driver scans loaded processes to determine if they belong to one of over a dozen antivirus programs and prevent them from running...

Hackers Changes Millions of Passwords to "password" !

Apr 04, 2011
 Hackers Changes Millions of Passwords to " password " ! Passwords from over 3,000,000 user accounts were apparently set to "password" late last night in a wide-spread hack that affected hundreds of news, retail and Web 2.0 sites. Most affected users are completely unaware of the attack. According to current statistics, 62% of affected users would not notice such a change as their password was already "password". Several sites have reported that they are taking steps to protect compromised accounts. In addition, many sites are creating a new rule to ban using the word "password" as a password. Users are reacting fiercely to the hack but even more so to the ban many sites are putting on one of the world's most popular passwords. Online riots are to be expected. The hacker group named "Obvious" has claimed credit for last evening's attack. Thousands of hacked Twitter and Facebook accounts posted the message "We are a...
