  Sophos Antivirus Labs has intercepted a malware attack, hitting many German internet users, disguised as an email from Skype. The email, which has the subject line "Wir haben Ihre Bestellung geliefert" (Translation: We have delivered your order") has a ZIP file attached, which contains a Trojan horse. The email claims that details of the order can be found in the attached file. Here's what a typical example of the email looks like: Inside the ZIP file, however, is a program called Die Einzelheiten Ihres Eiknkaufs.pdf.exe, obviously designed to use the "double-extension trick" to hoodwink unsuspecting users into believing it i

 
On April 8th, 2014 - exactly one year from today - Microsoft will terminate Extended Support for Windows XP. That means no more security updates. And that could mean very big problems for a significant percentage of PC users. According to data from Net Applications, Windows XP still maintains a nearly 39% hold on the desktop operating system market, second only to Windows 7 which has just under 45%. Every other individual desktop operating system (including Windows Vista, Windows 8, and Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion) has 5% or less of the desktop operating system market. Imagine, if you will, what could happen should bad guys decide to h

  Kommersant, a Ukrainian news site,reported last week on the arrest of 20 people for stealing more than $250 million through online banking fraud over the last five years. The SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) and FSB (Federal Security Service of Russia) spent more than a year jointly investigating the gang who were located in Kiev, Zaporozhye, Lviv, Herson and Odessa. The arrested were between 25 and 30 years old and were responsible for coding individual pieces of the banking malware involved in the scam. All of the stolen banking details were sent off to a server in Odessa, Ukraine where the 28 year old Russian mastermind of the operation was located. The SBU is curre

  Facebook’s enduring popularity means that cybercriminals find it a tempting lure for their malicious misdeeds. A newly-spotted phishing scam is no exception. We came across a malware sample, which we detected as TSPY_MINOCDO.A. The goal is to redirect users who visit Facebook to a spoofed page, which claims to be a part of the social networking website’s security check feature, even sporting the tagline “Security checks help keep Facebook trustworthy and free of spam”. It does this by redirecting all traffic to facebook.com and www.facebook.com to the system itself (using the affected machine’s HOST file). This ensures

  Last December, our senior malware researcher (Mr. Abhishek Singh) posted an article about a Trojan which could detect mouse clicks to evade sandbox analysis. Interestingly, we have found another spear phishing document that downloads malware which incorporates improved mouse click detection anti-sandboxing capability. It also leverages multiple advanced evasion techniques to achieve stealth and persistent infection. The name of malicious document is translated to be “Islamic Jihad.doc”. Hence, we suspect that this weaponized document was used to target the governments of Middle East and Central Asia. This new malware is significant for several reasons:

  Today’s advanced malware tools often comprise several different components, each with a different job description. These programs are more like Swiss army knives rather than individual tools, giving the attacker the ability to perform a number of different actions on a compromised system. One component that is often present in these attack toolkits is akeylogger, a highly specialized tool designed to record every keystroke made on the machine, giving the attacker the ability to steal huge amounts of sensitive information silently. Keylogger Definition
A keylogger is any piece of software or hardware that has the capability to intercept and record input from the key

  Spammers are always on the lookout for new ways to disguise themselves on the way into your inbox, and recently they've found a new trick that lets them leverage the most trusted brand on the internet - Google. Specifically, they are hiding behind Google's language translation services.

Our Barracuda Labs spam honeypots are turning up a variety of large volume spam attacks that usegoogle.com/translate to whitewash links in an attempt to evade automatic detection.

    A Hacker created a worldwide map of more than 100,000 vulnerable devices after “playing around” with a scripting tool. The “Carna” botnet was named after the Roman goddess that protected inner organs because it was “a good choice for a bot that runs mostly on embedded routers.” Carna ran from June to October last year and was allegedly never detected. Many of the open machines were based on Linux and allowed login with empty or default credentials. Though the project itself is illegal, the anonymous researcher claims the information may be useful for further study. The Carna database is available for download

  When you are browsing the Internet, do you really know what information you are sharing? Most people don’t have a clue that everything they do online could be being tracked. This includes what websites you visit, what you are interested in, and even who you really are. Most people stay unaware of their own footprints on the Internet, and how online tracking is affecting their experience. By knowing more about your online footprint, you have a chance to enhance your own browsing experience. Governments around the world want to control the Internet down to its smallest fiber. What few people know is that we are already tracked in a way that makes our privacy quite obscured. We

For those who may not be aware, Windows PowerShell is a scripting language from Microsoft designed to help system administrators automate some the tasks required to run a Windows network. It’s included with Windows 7 and later but can be installed on earlier Windows operating systems too. This latest ransomware uses this Windows PowerShell program to perform file encryption using "Rijndael symmetric key encryption". This variant also targets Russian users with a ransom message displayed in the Russian language. Here's how this ransomware works: It arrives as spam containing an HTA file attachment. The HTA file contains a pair of Base64 encoded strings. These are dec
