$30 Child Toy is enough to hack FBI Radios

Aug 12, 2011
$30 Child Toy is enough to hack FBI Radios The portable radios used by many federal law enforcement agents have major security flaws that allowed researchers to intercept hundreds of hours of sensitive traffic sent without encryption over the past two years, according to a new study being released today. A new report on the findings has been released by team leader and computer science professor Matt Blaze from the University of Pennsylvania. That details how a child's toy, the $30 IM Me can be used to jam radios used by the FBI and Homeland Security. " We monitored sensitive transmissions about operations by agents in every Federal law enforcement agency in the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, " wrote the researchers, who were led by computer science professor Matt Blaze and plan to reveal their findings Wednesday in a paper at the Usenix Security Symposium in San Francisco. Members of the research group say they have contacted the Department of Ju...

German Hacker Cracks GSM Call Encryption Code

German Hacker Cracks GSM Call Encryption Code

Aug 12, 2011
German Hacker Cracks GSM Call Encryption Code A German computer boffin has worked out a way to crack code used to encrypt most of the world's mobile Internet traffic. Karsten Nohl is going to publish a guide to prompt global operators to improve their safeguards. Karsten Nohl and his team of 24 hackers began working on the security algorithm for GSM (Global System for Mobiles) in August.Developed in 1988, the system prevents the interception of calls by forcing phones and base stations to change frequencies constantly. Most of the UK's mobile phones use the GSM system and the breach represents a potential threat to the security of mobile phone communication. The discovery of a way to eavesdrop so-called General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technology allows a user to read emails and observe the Internet use of a person whose phone is hacked, said Karsten Nohl, head of Security Research Labs." With our technology we can capture GPRS data communications in a radius of 5...

His account has been hacked. Brief technical report:  https://raffaele.backbox.org/content/im4n-account-exposed Backbox Team : " Backbox is just a Linux distribution. Such an attack was absolutely unexpected.

Aug 12, 2011
MySpace goes down because of Internal Errors, Not Hacked ! MySpace website was presented with a curious message that left many users believing that the service had been hacked. That apparently was not the case. Visitors to the social network were greeted by a largely blank page topped with the browser title bar that read "All is wrong :(" where the MySpace name would normally appear. In the upper left of the normally vibrant page was the message: "We messed up our code so bad that even puppies and kittens may be in danger. Please turn back ...now." It was followed up with the message, "* Have your pet spayed or neutered" in the lower right. Rumours spread quickly around the Twittersphere and in early media reports that MySpace had been hacked after an Anonymous-affiliated Twitter account referred to the hack. Members of the hactivist group recently vowed to take down the social-networking giant Facebook in November, but there is some suggestion that th...
