Security researchers from Symantec warn of a new banking trojan capable of hijacking the SSL connections between browsers and online banking sites in a way that is hard to spot. Variants of this malware, which Symantec detects as Trojan.Tatanarg, have been in circulation since last October, but its code is believed to be based on an older threat called W32.Spamuzle. The trojan has a modular architecture, with separate components handling different tasks, and the functionality of most banking malware. It can inject rogue HTML code into pages (man-in-the-browser attacks), disrupt antivirus software, uninstall other banking trojans and enable Windows remote access. It also features a backdoor component through which attackers can issue commands to control the infected computers. However, the most interesting functionality of this trojan is its ability to function as a proxy between browsers and SSL-secured websites. This is achived by hijacking the legit SSL connection and esta...

Hey, look: Ashton Kutcher's Twitter  account  was hacked in the name of Internet justice. Someone broke into his account and tweeted the messages above. Judging from their message, they probably used the notorious "Firesheep" application, which makes it easy for anyone to hijack other people's unsecured browsing sessions over wi-fi. The point the mysterious hacker(s) was making is that many of our favourite web applications, like Twitter, don't use high-security "SSL" encryption to protect their data. This makes it easier for people to snoop on users for nefarious means, like cracking down on Internet activists. Facebook recently enabled SSL, to the praise of human rights advocates and consumer groups. Kutcher's at TED right now, so he's probably been the victim of some well-meaning nerd. Kutcher should feel lucky that the person didn't feel like picking fights with random celebrities. Unless he's in on the prank…

Charge your lasers and aim them at the the New York Stock Exchange. (NYSE.com) It has been said that humanity is not an end in itself but rather a means to an end.

We are enslaved within a matrix of institutions with the illusion that each stands alone, each fighting for power, for profits, for the scraps on the table that represent humanities dwindling resources. In reality however, these institutions; the arms industries, banking and other fi...
