Android phones vulnerable to hackers ! Handsets using Google's operating system can allow hackers to access calendars, contacts and private pictures, they claim. Only the latest phones have had the data leak plugged, meaning 99.7 per cent of Android handsets are vulnerable. 'We wanted to know if it is really possible to launch an impersonation attack against Google services,' the German researchers wrote. 'The short answer is yes, it is possible and it is quite easy to do so. 'The adversary can gain full access to the calendar, contacts information or private web albums of the respective Google user. 'This means that the adversary can view, modify or delete any contacts, calendar events or private pictures.' The research was carried out by a University of Ulm team, who studied how Android dealt with log-ins for web-based services. When a user needs to access Google calendar, contacts and photo apps, an authentication 'token' is retrieved. But the tokens are sent unencrypted in p...

A firm employed by the French government to track down net pirates has been hacked. Trident Media Guard is believed to have exposed a range of data, including advice on how to avoid detection. TMG monitors peer-to-peer networks as part of France's efforts to find those guilty of copyright infringements. Eric Walter, head of the French anti-piracy unit, confirmed on Twitter that it had "temporarily suspended" links with TMG. France's so-called HADOPI law has caused controversy since it was introduced in 2009. Suspected illegal file-sharers receive three official warnings, after which they are reported to a judge who can hand out a range of punishments, including disconnecting them from the internet. The UK is due to introduce similar legislation, although at this stage it has no plans to punish offenders with disconnection. But it will need to employ a firm similar to TMG. When anti-piracy firms monitor peer-to-peer networks for copyright infringements, they...

Microsoft's Bing And Facebook 's Like Button Team Up Against Google ! Microsoft has deepened its ties with Facebook by integrating the platform's social network data with the Bing search engine. Under the new partnership, users will be able to view 'likes' and recommendations made by their friends on the Bing search engine.

Vulnerability in Google ClientLogin Protocol ! A group of security and privacy researchers from the Institute of Media Informatics at Ulm University in Germany, is claiming to have discovered a serious security vulnerability in Google's ClientLogin protocol. In a recent analysis of the Android platform, the group discovered that when Android users are connected to an unencrypted open Wifi network, an attacker could both read transmitted synchronization data of Google Contacts, Calendar and Picasa Web Albums, and capture the authToken that's user for authentication. Bastian Könings, one of the researchers from the group, told SecurityWeek, "The adversary could use this authToken to gain full access to the data API of the specific service and view, modify or delete any contacts, calendar events, and web albums of that user." "The vulnerability isn't limited to Android Google apps, but to any apps and desktop applications that use Google's ClientLogin protocol over HTTP r...
