News Roundup: One in five want to ban Google Glass, the iPhone charger that can hack your phone and the FBI and Microsoft take down $ 500m-theft botnet -

one in five adults in the UK want Google Glass prohibited

According to a new study, one in five adults in the UK believe that Google Glass should be completely banned on privacy and two in three think technology like portable cameras should be heavily regulated. The concerns include the fact that the integrated camera can capture unwanted images, while the built-in microphone may pick up private conversations. We have already witnessed the legal regulations that are struggling to cope with the existing technology, so perhaps not its surprising so many people are concerned that the current laws are not ready for this new development. This is particularly relevant for certain departments and companies that handle sensitive government information, so it is likely that any person employed in these areas would not be allowed to bring their new toys to work.

The iPhone charger that can hack your phone

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new device called "mactans" that could allow hackers to enter an iPhone hiding software in the feeder. The BeagleBoard processor that uses the device is too large to fit in a traditional charger for now, but it could easily fit inside a cargo box or an external charger. At present, it is only done by the good guys to highlight potential weaknesses, but we may soon be wary of using the individual charger, but our own.

FBI and Microsoft take $ 500m-theft botnet

The FBI and Microsoft have managed to bring down the Citadel botnet that was responsible for stealing more than 500 m $ various bank accounts. The botnet had installed a keylogging program about five million machines worldwide, but a coordinated action by the police, banking companies and technology companies from 80 countries disturbed about 1,000 of the 1,400 that make up the botnet networks. Citadel was designed after the computer code of the Zeus cybercrime kit has been released online, with underground coders then joining together to create their own flying kit. The identity of the main controller of the botnet is still unknown, but faces serious criminal charges on the discovery.

Google given 35 days to remove the data it collects 'in error' -

No stranger to controversy privacy, Internet giant Google has been given 35 days by the Office of the information Commissioner of the United Kingdom to delete the data it collects 'in error' while taking Street View photos 2010. Otherwise, place the company in "contempt of court", causing criminal charges.

office reopened its investigation into Google last year in response to learn about the company's data error collected 'unsecured wireless networks in cities. The survey found other discs containing private data that Google had already promised to destroy. The company admitted that he had "accidentally" kept hold of the discs, which prompted the ICO to notify Google that it must be said that if all other drives found.

The company has managed to escape a penalty through the Bureau's decision that the shares are not from a company level and that "the damage caused to individuals by the breach fails to reach the level required to issue a monetary decision penalty'.The UK is at odds with the decisions taken by other countries with similar privacy concerns of Google, where heavy fines were collected. The Federal Communications Commission of the United States requested a fine of $ 25,000 last year, the engineer who wrote the software code designed to gather information told the commission that at least two other employees - including a senior - were aware of the program. The FCC found data from 30 countries that have included e-mails, instant messages and log-in information identification and accused Google to delay the investigation for months.

Across Europe, similar stories are emerging. France recently imposed a three-month period for the company to improve its privacy policies on the Internet, and Spain and Germany have already imposed fines, causing activist Nick Perkins UK Big Brother Watch to observe that the lack of a fine in Britain could give the impression that "our privacy is somehow less worthy of protection.

If you have concerns about your safety on the Internet, try using a VPN service. A VPN allows your computer an extra layer of protection when you surf the Internet to ensure that your private information remains private.

Arbor Networks Unveils Password campaign widely bruteforcing - CSO and discovers that he is more and more every day -

Arbor Networks have recently published a report that claims to have discovered a large-scale password bruteforcing campaign, which has been in operation since April this year.

for the last few months, the campaign would have targeted websites running WordPress or Joomla blogging platforms, while a smaller number of attacks have been aimed at Datalife Engine, a Russian platform.

infected Windows computers are used to bruteforce areas by targeting the administration pages and guess usernames and passwords typical until they have access to accounts. PHP shell files that provide complete control over the webserver then disguised as add-ons to WordPress Joomla or Datalife Engine, and are downloaded to the system.

Arbor Networks succeeded in at least partly trace the hackers, thanks to the inclusion of hardcoded command and addresses of control in malware. The discovery of these places meant that Arbor Networks was able to discover the attacker logs in turn discover more unprecedented information on the extent of the campaign.

newspapers indicate that there are about 25,000 infected Windows computers and over 00 domains that have been compromised, most of which are located in Russia and Ukraine. Security website CSO also discovered that attempts against areas in different countries are increasingly, it seems that this campaign is becoming more and more complex - and thanks to the fact that the attackers modified the malware to stop recording logs that sites like CSOs can access it there is no way to check the latest statistics and details.

in the state, it seems that you will not be at risk for this botnet if you work for a company that uses the one of blogging platforms, but that does not mean that malware will not evolve to target private computers. So it is wise to change your password to something more complex, with lots of numbers and symbols in it, to minimize the risk.

While a VPN service would not be able to defend against an attack of this nature, it is another measure of protection wise you can take to protect your computer when browsing Internet allows you to encrypt your Internet traffic for improved security.

News Roundup: Pirate Bay founder creates the encrypted mail application, Microsoft computers attacked after Google worker reveals bug, and mil ... South Korean -

founder of Pirate Bay creates the encrypted messaging application

in response to the recent monitoring NSA scandal, the founder of Pirate Bay has launched a crowdsourcing project to fund a new encrypted application of mobile messaging . According to the creators, the proposed application will be so sure they would not be able to deliver messages even if they wanted. Hemlis, which means "secret" in Swedish, will use encryption end to end so that no one can monitor all messages and needs to collect $ 100,000 in funding to become a reality. The application itself should be free, even to those who do not donate, but users will have to pay extra to do things like send images.

Computer worker attacked after Google unveiled bug

Microsoft has stated that Windows bug that was originally discovered by a Google employee has been widely exploited by pirates. The Google security researcher originally came under fire it two months ago, when he published the flaw before Microsoft's security team had been able to implement a solution. Microsoft has not been particularly forthcoming with more details, instead of just saying that hackers have launched a series of "targeted attacks". The company also declined to say whether they believed that the attacks were directly attributable to the employee Google about its discovery, but because it gave fairly full details of the bug, it seems more than likely.

hunting pirates in the South Korean military secrets

A group of hackers that swept dozens of hard drives of thousands in South Korea earlier this year was also accused of attempting to steal military secrets of the country. McAfee Labs found that the group had created malware that specific keywords systems, including "weapons" and "secret" digitized, creating a catalog documents that hackers could then access they wish. South Korea downplayed the seriousness of the threat, indicating that this sensitive information is not stored online, but the Pentagon said it plans to conduct its own review in the McAfee report anyway.

Android phones represent 79% of malware

Department of Homeland security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that 79 percent of malicious attacks on mobile phones in 2012 took place on devices that are running the Google Android operating system. The mobile operating system is the world's most popular, but authorities have blamed the high number of attacks on "market share and open-source architecture" system. Nokia's Symbian operating system had the largest number of attacks, while Apple's system was only 0.7 percent. The news comes following the discovery of security company Symantec a "master key" bug for Android devices that is already widely used in China.

willingly open Americans malicious emails

a study by global TNS found that 30 percent of Americans surveyed would open an email, even if they knew he was suspicious or contain a virus. Another in an eleven admitted to infect their computer with a virus after opening a malicious attachment email. According to statistics of the Working Group Anti-Phishing, over 74,000 unique phishing campaigns were discovered in their reporting period that was more than 1,100 brands. The fact that so many Americans consciously open a malicious e-mail is even more alarming when you consider that anyone who is ready to open these emails at home is also likely to be willing to open the office, putting them at risk companies.

New York Times and Twitter hit by Syrian hackers

site Twitter and the New York Times are the two problems still situation following a realized hack earlier this week by the Syrian electronic army (SEA). The hacking group recently claimed responsibility for attacks against companies including the BBC and the Financial Times. The SEA had access to both sites by editing their information Domain Name System, which resulted in the fields redirecting visitors to websites hosted by AES. Host Melbourne IT said that hackers were able to enter through the "gateway" and said they were trying to implement "additional layers of security" to protect the details of their areas.
