A CALIFORNIA man has been charged after he allegedly hacked into more than 100 computers to look for sexually explicit photos that he then used to blackmail his victims into handing over homemade sex tapes. Luis Mijangos, 31, was charged with extortion after he allegedly infected more than 100 computers with a virus disguised as a popular song download, which allowed him to take over the personal computers used by about 230 people, including 44 children, myFOXla.com reports . US Attorney's Office spokesman Thom Mrozek said Mr Mijangos looked for sexually explicit photos of the computer users, then threatened to email the files to everyone on the victims' mailing lists if they did not make homemade pornography for him. The Santa Ana man was also accused hacking into email and social networking sites so he could pose as the boyfriend of unsuspecting women and teenage girls — and ask them to make sex videos. After getting the videos, he would then

A COMPUTER hacker who infected more than 2300 computers with a virus capable of stealing banking details did not have serious criminal intentions, a court has heard. Today, lawyers for Anthony Scott Harrison told the District Court his " youthful curiosity " had led him into hacking into the computers of others to steal money. " Using the Google search engine he learnt all he could about hacking ," Harrison's lawyer, John Edwards, said. "He did not start hacking with serious criminal intentions ... because he was unemployed he then utilised his hacking skills to provide money. " Underlying his initial attraction to hacking was not theft or greed, but was youthful curiosity ." Harrison, 21, of Blackforest, has pleaded guilty to one count of modifying computer data to cause harm or inconvenience, two counts of possession or control of data to commit serious computer offences and one count of dishonestly manipulating

In today's digital world, where connectivity is rules all, endpoints serve as the gateway to a business's digital kingdom. And because of this, endpoints are one of hackers' favorite targets.  According to the IDC,  70% of successful breaches start at the endpoint .

AN Adelaide computer hacker infected more than two thousand computers in Australia and overseas with a program to capture banking details, a court has heard. Anthony Scott Harrison, 20, used the internet to teach himself the necessary hacking and programming skills to launch his attack in 2009 but was caught when suspicious web activity was spotted and tracked by federal police. He also modified and sold software to allow others to infect computers, with his offending flowing from his obsession with the world of cyber fantasy. Harrison pleaded guilty to seven charges including four counts of modifying computer data to cause harm. Defence counsel John Edwards told the South Australian District Court today that from the age of 14 his client had become obsessed with playing online computer games and had become " immersed in the world of cyber fantasy ". At one stage he was playing online for up to 15 hours a day, often using a simulated hacking

A short post for  Ravan  this time. It is a JavaScript based Distributed Computing system that can perform brute force attacks on salted hashes by distributing the task across several browsers. Salted and plain versions of the following hashing algorithms are currently supported: MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA512 How to use ? Using Ravan is very simple, just follow these steps: Go to  https://www.andlabs.org/tools/ravan.html Enter the value of the hash that must be cracked Enter the value of the salt, if it is not a salted hash then leave it blank Enter the charset. Only these characters will be use in the brute force attack Select the hashing algorithm (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512) Select the position of the salt. (clear-text+salt or salt+clear-text) Hit ' Submit Hash '. If hash is successfully submitted it would return a URL. Send this URL to all the workers and get them to click 'start' on that page. Keep the main page open without reloading till the hash is cracked. That is all!

HTTPS Everywhere  is a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts your communications with a number of major websites. The EFF launched a new version of HTTPS Everywhere, a security tool that offers enhanced protection for Firefox browser users against Firesheep and other exploits of webpage security flaws. HTTPS secures web browsing by encrypting both requests from your browser to websites and the resulting pages that are displayed. Without HTTPS, your online reading habits and activities are vulnerable to eavesdropping, and your accounts are vulnerable to hijacking. Unfortunately, while many sites on the web offer some limited support for HTTPS, it is often difficult to use. Websites may default to using the unencrypted, and therefore vulnerable, HTTP protocol or may fill HTTPS pages with insecure HTTP references. EFF's HTTPS Everywhere tool uses carefully crafted rules to switch sites from HTTP to HTTPS.

Wikileaks suffered with distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack ! Wikileaks suffered another distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack Tuesday morning, reports Fast Company.  This attack was much more intense than Sunday's but still did not come close to actually shutting down the site.

The Jester, an ex-soldier justified his hacking by accusing the website of " attempting to endanger the lives of our troops, 'other assets' & foreign relations. " The self-proclaimed " hacktivist for good " looked to the Web to continue combating terrorism and organizations that appear to back Islamic extremism after ending his military service. Cyber security expert Mikko Hypponen of F-Secure told CNN he believe

A hacker who posed as a university graduate to gain access to the e-mails of hundreds of unsuspecting students has been given a suspended prison sentence and ordered to pay more than £20,000 in costs and compensation. Daniel Woo, a 23-year-old Bulgarian national, was sentenced for offences under the Misuse of Computers Act on 25 November. Woo was arrested in November 2006 at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies after being spotted by IT staff investigating anomalies in the running of the computer network. He used various hacking techniques to break a number of students' passwords, thereby gaining access to their accounts. Woo then placed computer software known as 'Cain and Able' on a number of machines, which enabled him to collect further student passwords and gather traffic passing through the university's computer network. It was subsequently established that fraud had taken place on a number of the compromised pa
