AOL Postmaster Website hacked by HODLUM

AOL Postmaster Website hacked by HODLUM

Aug 14, 2011
AOL Postmaster Website hacked by HODLUM AOL’s postmaster.aol.com website was hacked Saturday afternoon by someone who goes by the name “ HodLuM .” The site was slightly defaced with a message from the hacker. “ AOL S3RV3RZ ROOT3D BY HODLUM LOLZ! ,” the message read. AOL finally discovered the hack, and fixed the page between two and four hours after evidence of the breach was posted to Reddit.com. The various forums where this hack was posted all included various jokes along the lines of, “ AOL still exists?! ” Ouch… The AOL Postermaster blog has so far not responded to the hack. The hack of AOL Postmaster comes at the end of a difficult week for AOL. While the hack of a minor AOL web property has nothing to do with the poor performance of its stock, the incident can only serve to worsen the mood at a company that’s struggling to stay upright.

$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...
