Hacker group defies U.S. law, defends exposing McAfee vulnerabilities !

Mar 31, 2011
The hacker group that exposed holes in McAfee's website knows it's breaking U.S. law, but vows to continue exposing vulnerabilities, especially on security vendor websites. The hacker group that exposed holes in McAfee's website knows it's breaking U.S. law, but vows to continue exposing vulnerabilities, especially on security vendor websites. "We do understand performing security testings without authorization is illegal under U.S. law," stated YGN Ethical Hacker Group, when contacted by Network World via e-mail. The outfit's own website describes YGN as a "small group of young but mature people" based in the country of Myanmar (Burma) who started working together about three years ago. Based on its website advertising, the group, which seeks to emphasize its goals are "ethical," appears to offer vulnerability-testing services while also working on security testing tools. In response to a question about why it's so secretive,...

Farmville Compromises Facebook - Facebook Fixes Flaw !

Mar 31, 2011
After the release of FireSheep, Facebook took an important step to help protect Facebook user accounts by allowing users to choose to keep an encrypted connection as long as they used just Facebook and intelligently designed apps. Savvy users immediately discovered that if they tried to use grossly insecure apps such as Farmville, 21 Questions, or a variety of apps by Rockyou then you were switched back to an unencrypted connection. Having an unencrypted connection means that if you are on an unsecured network, such as those frequently found in coffee shops, airports, and many other public places, then another person can mess around with your account and do things like post messages as if they were you. In fact, they are actually logged into your account for the session, but they don’t have your password, so there are some security features they can’t change. Still it is enough access that they can cause a lot of damage. Facebook has addressed the problem by making it so that if y...

Keyloggers in Samsung Laptops, Officials says - Samsung laptops are in fact secure !

Keyloggers in Samsung Laptops, Officials says - Samsung laptops are in fact secure !

Mar 31, 2011
Keyloggers in Samsung Laptops , Officials says - Samsung laptops are in fact secure ! We'll start by saying that we've reached out to  Samsung  for a response here, but as of now, no reply has been given -- neither a confirmation nor a refusal of truth. Why bother mentioning that? If this here story proves true, Sammy could have a serious problem on its hands -- a problem that'll definitely start with a rash of negative PR, and a quandary that could  very well end the outfit up in the courtroom . According to a report by Mohamed Hassan over at  Network World , Samsung allegedly took the initiative to install a keylogger into his recently purchased R525 and R540 laptops. The app was noticed right away after a security scan on both systems, with StarLogger popping up with the c:\windows\SL directory. Where things really get strange is on the support line; reportedly, a supervisor informed Mr. Hassan (after an earlier denial) that the company did indeed install the ...
