This terrifying malware destroys your PC if detected | ICT | eSkills | CyberSecurity | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Rombertik is designed to steal any plain text entered into a browser window


A new type of malware resorts to crippling a computer if it is detected during security checks, a particularly catastrophic blow to its victims.

The malware, nicknamed Rombertik by Cisco Systems, is designed to intercept any plain text entered into a browser window. It is being spread through spam and phishing messages, according to Cisco’s Talos Group blog on Monday.


Rombertik goes through several checks once it is up and running on a Windows computer to see if it has been detected.

That behavior is not unusual for some types of malware, but Rombertik “is unique in that it actively attempts to destroy the computer if it detects certain attributes associated with malware analysis,” wrote Ben Baker and Alex Chiu of the Talos Group.


Such “wiper” malware has been used in the past, notably against South Korean targets in 2013 and against Sony Pictures Entertainment last year, an attack attributed to North Korea by the U.S. government.

The last check Rombertik does is the most dangerous one. It computes a 32-bit hash of a resource in memory, and if either that resource or the compile time had been changed, Rombertik triggers self-destruct.

The "Dirty Dozen" SPAMPIONSHIP: And THE Winner is AGAIN USA!

The "Dirty Dozen" SPAMPIONSHIP: And THE Winner is AGAIN USA! | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Here they are: the latest "Dirty Dozen" SPAM­PION­SHIP tables, detailing the globe's most dastardly distributors of delinquent data during the first quarter of 2015.

If you haven't seen the Dirty Dozen before, here's how it works.

SophosLabs maintains a large network of spamtraps, operated around the world with the express purpose of collecting spam.

And, boy, do they collect spam!

Of course, whenever spam falls into a trap, we can tell where the final step of its journey started by looking at the IP address of the computer from which the offending email was sent.

It's possible to track back individual IP numbers fairly accurately, sometimes down to a street block, often to a suburb or metro area, and almost always to the sender's country.

In other words, our spamtraps tell us which countries are the worst senders of spam.

How to crash any iPhone or iPad within WiFi range | Apple | Nobody Is Perfect | NO iOS Zone

How to crash any iPhone or iPad within WiFi range | Apple | Nobody Is Perfect | NO iOS Zone | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

"No iOS Zone" denial-of-service vulnerability could lead to your iPhone or iPad constantly crashing.


The researchers say that they first informed Apple of the problem in early October 2014, and that iOS 8.3 appears to resolve some of the issues they uncovered.


Chances are that this won’t be the last time that a serious denial of service flaw is found in iOS. Just last month, Apple released iOS 8.2 which fixed a flaw that allowed hackers to restart iPhones by sending them a maliciously-crafted Flash SMS.


More details of the “No iOS Zone” flaw can be found in the slide deck of the presentation given at the RSA conference.

Roger Smith's curator insight, April 9, 2015 12:53 AM

After testing the security of six Internet of Things (IoT) devices commonly used in homes, Veracode security researchers found that product manufacturers don't put enough focus on security and privacy as a design priority; this puts users "at risk for an attack or physical intrusion." They found vulnerabilities in the devices that could potentially act as a "pathway for robbery, theft of sensitive data or even stalking."

Kaspersky: Internet of Things means Internet of Threats | CyberSecurity | DigitalCitizenShip | eSkills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The way Eugene Kaspersky sees it, there may soon come a day when you wake up and your coffeemaker refuses to brew anything – or worse, will only brew decaf – until you pay up on the ransomware that has infected it.

Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky Lab, told some of the company’s top partners at its annual North American Partner Conference here this weekend that he believes IoT stands not only for “Internet of Things,” but also for “Internet of Threats.” The emergence of IP and intelligence in an increasing number of previously disconnected devices will lead to new and novel attack vectors, the executive predicted.

It’s not just the pleasures of this world, the benefits and the beauty, that we have to think about,” Kaspersky told partners. “We also have to think about the other side, the bad guys, as well.”

And while the coffee maker was a bit of a perhaps a tongue-in-cheek example, Kaspersky said he does see a variety of attack opportunities on devices that have heretofore not been connected to the network. The first one to be hit, he posited, will be right in our living rooms.

Practical IT: What is encryption and how can I use it to protect my corporate data? | ICT | eSkills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Businesses often don't realise why encryption is important, and how they can use it to protect their data. The latest in our Practical IT series tells you what encryption is and how you can use it ...


What is encryption?

Encryption is a method of scrambling messages in a format that is unreadable by unauthorised users - it is, simply put, the best way to keep data secure from spies, thieves or accidental exposure. (Not to be confused with steganography, which is all about hiding messages, rather than making them unreadable).

New Rombertik malware attacks hard drives, wipes MBR if detected | ICT | eSkills | CyberSecurity

New Rombertik malware attacks hard drives, wipes MBR if detected | ICT | eSkills | CyberSecurity | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The game of cat-and-mouse between malware authors and security white hats may have entered a new phase this week, thanks to an aggressive new malware system that doesn’t just attempt to obfuscate its own operation — it aggressively scans for clues that others are monitoring its actions. If it detects that it’s operating within a Virtual Machine, the malware, dubbed Rombertik, will go nuclear and attempt to overwrite the master boot record of the local hard drive.

Cisco’s threat response team has detailed the operation of Rombertik, and the malware’s obfuscation and attack vectors are unique. Once installed, it’s a fairly standard data sniffer that grabs indiscriminately from the information available on an infected PC. What sets Rombertik apart is the way it checks to see if it’s running in a VM-provided sandbox, and the actions it takes if it finds itself in such a mode.

Would you believe an anti-virus vendor doesn't care if it doesn't find some malware, just so long as it can look better in independent speed tests?

WordPress vulnerable to yet another, still to be patched XSS flaw | CyberSecurity | Blogs | Blogging | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The latest WordPress version (4.2, released on Thursday) and several earlier ones are vulnerable to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that can be exploited to inject JavaScript in WordPress comments.

"If [the script is] triggered by a logged-in administrator, under default settings the attacker can leverage the vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the server via the plugin and theme editors," researcher Jouko Pynnönen of Finnish security company Klikki Oy explained in a security advisory published on Sunday.

Le mythe vient de s'effondrer : un chercheur en sécurité vient de démontrer combien il était facile de contourner les mécanismes de sécurité mis en place par Apple dans OS X pour polluer le système avec des malwares.


Finalement, Apple ne fait pas mieux que les autres fabricants ni même éditeurs de solutions de protection, puisque la conférence a démontré que la plupart des outils de protection pouvaient être contournés.


Apple reste toutefois moins sujet aux attaques pour l'instant, mais les choses pourraient changer à l'avenir.

ENISA: Cyber Attacks Cost Over $400 Billion Annually | EU | Europe | eLEADERShip | CyberSecurity | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
“There are different aspects to cyber security and cyber-attacks. But all current security approaches tend to make use of the same technology, making it difficult to judge who is attacking what and why. Within this context, it should be examined what cyber security can offer at another level, contributing and protecting the EU citizens. Cyber security is the EU’s ‘digital frontier.”

Helmbrecht said that the security of network and information systems is essential to the security of all the critical sectors in society, noting that disruptions to these infrastructures and services are becoming more frequent and are estimated to result in annual losses in the range of €260- €340 billion Euros ($416-$544 billion dollars).

“Various recent studies, including those of ENISA, demonstrate that the threat landscape will get worse, unless we take firm action,” Helmbrecht said.

Cyberthreats: 10 things schools need to know | CyberSecurity | Digital CitizenShip | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Getting computer security right in a school is much trickier than doing so in a business. How much money can you spend? How much time can you devote to the problem? Should you have a regime in which you enforce, or merely guide? How do you win the cooperation of parents, principals and students? Security expert David Booth discusses the principles of information security for schools.
