Anonymous IRC hacker, Ryan Cleary Exposed !

Anonymous IRC hacker, Ryan Cleary Exposed !

May 10, 2011
Anonymous IRC hacker, Ryan Cleary  Exposed ! The 'Anonymous' collective named Ryan Cleary as the person responsible for breaching two of its own sites. The 18-year-old was accused of trying to bring down message boards used by Anonymous members to communicate with each other. Read Here ' We regret to inform you today that our network has been compromised by a former IRC-operator and fellow helper named "Ryan" ,' a post on its AnonOps site said. 'He decided that he didn't like the leaderless command structure that AnonOps network admins use. So he organised a coup d'etat.' Mr Cleary was accused of stealing passwords and targeting the network servers used to keep Anonymous's websites running. ' This is not a joke, this isn't a lie, this is the truth and we are sorry for that, ' the post added. A later update showed a screenshot of a ' revenge attack ' that gave the alleged culprit's full name, address and phone numbers. Anonymous is still under attack. Going to Ano...

Complete ZeuS source code has been leaked !

May 10, 2011
Complete ZeuS source code has been leaked On the 23rd of March 2011 we posted a blog about the source code for the infamous crime kit ZeuS (Wsnpoem/Zbot) being sold on at least two dark market forums (see: https://www.csis.dk/en/csis/blog/3176/). This weekend we found the complete source code for this crime kit being leaked to the masses on several underground forums as well as through other channels. We already collected several addresses from where it is being distributed in a compressed zip archive. We even compiled it in our lab and it works like a charm. When unzipped it looks like this: We can hereby confirm that the complete ZeuS/Zbot source code is freely available for inspection, inspiration or perhaps to be compiled and used in future attacks. ZeuS/Zbot is already considered as being amongst the most pervasive banking Trojan in the global threat landscape. It is an advanced crime kit and very configurable. With the release and leakage of the source code the ZeuS/Zbot co...

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 -...

Linux kernel 2.6.38.6 ( stable) has been released !

Linux kernel 2.6.38.6 ( stable) has been released !

May 10, 2011
Linux kernel 2.6.38.6 ( stable) has been released ! The latest -Stable kernel has been raised again after Greg released a new version : 2.6.38.6. This is a maintenance update, so no new feature are included, only bug fixes and minor changes. Even though Greg urges users to upgrade to this version, it's wiser to look at the  ChangeLog  to decide whether you really need to upgrade to this version or not. Personally, i don't really see any important updates in this release, so if you have no problem with your current kernel (2.6.38.x series), you can stay with it until 2.6.39 comes up in probably a week or two.

Sony 3rd massive leak - 100 million user's personal info hacked in Japan ! Personal information on a total of 100 million people has possibly been hacked and leaked from online game and other Internet services provided by the Sony Group worldwide, sparking fears that it could develop into the worst information leakage case ever. Sony has been under fire for being slow to announce the incident. It is essential for the electronics and entertainment giant to clarify the whole picture of the damage as quickly as possible and gather itself together to follow up the case in order to recover consumers' confidence.

French security firm VUPEN Say New Bugs Can Bypass Google Chrome Sandbox !

May 10, 2011
French security firm VUPEN Say New Bugs Can Bypass Google Chrome Sandbox ! Researchers at the French security firm VUPEN say that they have discovered several new vulnerabilities in Google Chrome that enable them to bypass the browser's sandbox, as well as ASLR and DEP and run arbitrary code on a vulnerable machine. The company said that they are not going to disclose the details of the bugs right now, but that they have shared information on them with some of their government customers through its customer program. The vulnerabilities are present in the latest version of Chrome running on Windows 7, VUPEN said. VUPEN published a video (  https://www.vupen.com/demos / ) that demonstrates an attack that exploits the Chrome vulnerabilities, although there is no further clues about the bugs themselves. "The exploit shown in this video is one of the most sophisticated codes we have seen and created so far as it bypasses all security features including ASLR/DEP/Sandbox, it...
