The ‘Anonymous’ collective named Ryan Cleary as the person responsible for breaching two of its own sites. The 18-year-old was accused of trying to bring down message boards used by Anonymous members to communicate with each other. Read Here ‘ We regret to inform you today that our network has been compromised by a former IRC-operator and fellow helper named “Ryan” ,’ a post on its AnonOps site said. ‘He decided that he didn’t like the leaderless command structure that AnonOps network admins use. So he organised a coup d’etat.’ Mr Cleary was accused of stealing passwords and targeting the network servers used to keep Anonymous’s websites running. ‘ This is not a joke, this isn’t a lie, this is the truth and we are sorry for that, ’ the post added.

Complete ZeuS source code has been leaked On the 23rd of March 2011 we posted a blog about the source code for the infamous crime kit ZeuS (Wsnpoem/Zbot) being sold on at least two dark market forums (see: http://www.csis.dk/en/csis/blog/3176/). This weekend we found the complete source code for this crime kit being leaked to the masses on several underground forums as well as through other channels. We already collected several addresses from where it is being distributed in a compressed zip archive. We even compiled it in our lab and it works like a charm. When unzipped it looks like this: We can hereby confirm that the complete ZeuS/Zbot source code is freely available for inspection, inspiration or perhaps to be compiled and used in future attacks. ZeuS/Zbot is already considered as being amongst the most pervasive banking Trojan in the global threat landscape. It is an advanced crime kit and very configurable. With the release and leakage of the source code the ZeuS/Zbot co...

Linux kernel 2.6.38.6 ( stable) has been released ! The latest -Stable kernel has been raised again after Greg released a new version : 2.6.38.6. This is a maintenance update, so no new feature are included, only bug fixes and minor changes. Even though Greg urges users to upgrade to this version, it's wiser to look at the  ChangeLog  to decide whether you really need to upgrade to this version or not. Personally, i don't really see any important updates in this release, so if you have no problem with your current kernel (2.6.38.x series), you can stay with it until 2.6.39 comes up in probably a week or two.

This government site promotes the objectives of procuring agricultural produce from farmers through the member societies on support prices declared by the Govt. of India. Here is the home page of this site: The malicious script has been injected at the bottom of this page. Here is the screenshot of source page, Below, you can see a decoded version of the script using Malzilla. ( http://malzilla.sourceforge.net/ ) The decoded script tag leads to JavaScript from “ hxxp://cs.cskick.cn/cs/sc.js ”. Currently, this malicious site is down. A quick Google search for this domain shows that it has been involved with malicious activity in the past. Trend Micro has issued a report for a separate threat hosted at that same domain.
