Jun 30, 2011
TDSS rootkit infects 1.5 million US computers Millions of PCs around the world infected by the dangerous TDSS ‘super-malware’ rootkit as part of a campaign to build a giant new botnet. The report is presented by researchers from security firm Kaspersky Lab. TDSS also known as ‘TDL’ and sometimes by its infamous rootkit component, Alureon. It has grown into a multi-faceted malware nexus spinning out ever more complex and dangerous elements as it evolves. Kaspersky Lab researchers were able to penetrate three SQL-based command and control (C&C) servers used to control the activities of the malware’s latest version, TDL-4, where they discovered the IP addresses of 4.5 million IP PCs infected by the malware in 2011 alone. Almost 1.5 million of these were in the US.If active, this number of compromised computers could make it one of the largest botnets in the world, with the US portion alone worth an estimated $250,000 (£155,000) to the underground economy. The researchers noti...

FBI searches LulzSec suspect home in Hamilton, Ohio The investigation into the LulzSec hacking team continues, with news that FBI agents have searched a house in Hamilton, Ohio. FBI investigation believed to have been fuelled by interviews with Ryan Cleary, but did not lead to charges.

Ohio teenager was known within LulzSec as " m_nerva ", who leaked text logs of discussions between the group after they had hacked into the website of an FBI affiliate at the beginning of June. After that, m_nerva's case address was listed by LulzSec as being in Hamilton, Ohio  Last week FBI agents searched the house of a woman in Iowa and questioned her about links with the group. LulzSec said in a statement that it had six members, though it never stated their gender.
