The Latest Facebook Western Union Scam
Read here for the latest variation on the 419 scam, utilized through chat on hijacked Facebook accounts, as detailed by the famous Meng Wong, author of the SPF specand other helpful technologies.
Wong includes a full transcript of a chat with a "friend" of his who tells him that he is traveling in London, was robbed at gunpoint and needs Wong to wire him money. Wong is not fooled for a second and plays with the guy, even sending him the URL toa TechCrunch story picked up by the Washington Post about this exact scam.
In the end Wong gets him to view a URL on one of his servers; then from the logs he pulls out the address of the scammer, a Nigerian address. The very least you can say about the Nigerian address is that it's not in London.
All of this proves the general rule that identity is a fuzzy thing on the Internet. Even when you have an established relationship with someone through an online channel you need to be skeptical of everything you see, especially when patterns of behavior change.

Microsoft fixes 9 vulnerabilities, but leaves one open to attack
Microsoft on Tuesday, July 14th, as part of its monthly patch procedure, released 6 new bulletins, repairing 9 security vulnerabilities. While the patch addressed two of the "zero-day" exploits -- Microsoft's DirectShow & Video ActiveX Control -- it left a third exploit vulnerable to hackers.
The bulletins fixed vulnerabilities in Windows, Microsoft Office, Virtual PC and Virtual Server and the Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) server.
Of the 6 vulnerabilities, 3 were rated critical, while the remaining bulletins were marked as important. 8 of the 9 exploit codes were at the top of Windows' Exploitability Index, meaning that a hacker could consistently exploit those vulnerabilities.
While the patch fixed exploits in Microsoft Video's ActiveX Control -- a vulnerability which allowed for remote code execution when using Internet Explorer -- no correction was made for the vulnerability in the Office Web Components that allows hackers the ability to gain user rights to a computer.
To prevent exploit, Microsoft suggests users keep Office Web Components Library from running in Internet Explorer. Users can use Microsoft's "Fix it" to disable Office Web Components, or they can fix it themselves by configuring the kill bit for control in the registry.

Does Google's OS decrease or increase security risks?
Wednesday's two big technology stories--Google's Chrome-based operating system and cyberattacks against U.S. and South Korean government Web sites are oddly related. The stories are connected because if Google does well at gaining market share for its browser, we could see fewer successful attacks. Or maybe we'll see more attacks.
The reason hackers succeeded in launching denial-of-service attacks against government computers in the U.S. and South Korea is because they were able to enlist an army of "zombie" computers to carry out the attack. And what do those computers likely have in common? The vast majority of them likely run Microsoft Windows.
Whether Windows is inherently less secure than Mac OS X or Linux is debatable, but one thing is for sure--it's more popular and therefore a more attractive target to hackers. Indeed with nearly 90 percent of the world's PCs running Windows, it's something of a "single point of failure." Figure out how to infect Windows PCs and you can stage a very successful attack.
Linux--which is the underpinning of Google Chrome--is not entirely exempt from malicious software but historically Linux machines are less likely to be infected. So it stands to reason that the more machines running non-Windows software, the safer we'll all be.
But there's another side to this story. The Chrome OS will be far more Web-centric than Windows, which means that many--if not most--of its applications will be running over the Internet. What's more, people's data will be stored "in the cloud," much of it on servers run by Google. So while Google may help reduce Microsoft's potential as a single point of failure, it increases its own. If hackers were successful in launching an attack on Google, that would affect not only people's ability to use Google apps, but the integrity of their data.
Although there weren't any reported data breaches, there was a day in May of this year when Google sites were partially inaccessible as a result of a technical glitch. On that day, millions of people were unable to use Google services, including Google Docs and Spreadsheets. Say what you want about Microsoft, but even if the company totally shut down its Web operations, its operating system and PC applications would still run.
Personally, I'm a big believer in competition and like cloud computing, so I welcome Google's entry into the operating system arena. But like almost anything worthwhile, it's not without risk.
Hackers Stole $415,000 from Bullitt County Coffers
Cyber criminals from Ukraine reportedly filched $415,000 from Bullitt County's coffers in Kentucky (USA) during the end week of June 2009. Over 24 accomplices in the US aided the crooks along with a string of harmful codes that were designed to bypass the security measures installed by the banks.
Attorney of Bullitt County said that the problem started on June 22, 2009 when an unknown person had begun wiring money amounted $10,000 from the payroll of the county to 25 individuals' accounts across the country.
Attorney further stated that First Federal Savings Bank froze an account of the county on June 29, 2009 after the bank had found that the sum had already been transferred to a number of banks in the country. When First Federal became suspicious of something wrong, it started requesting those banks getting the transfers to begin reversing them.
Moreover, the county's bank told Attorney's office that by July 2, 2009, the bank's authorities would likely know the number of banks make the reversals of money. The bank officials also added that they thought part of the county's money might be recovered though it was not certain exactly how much.
Meanwhile, it appears that some type of PC virus made the illegal transfers, as attorney of Bullitt County said that employees of the county received e-mails carrying a password-stealing virus.
The virus enabled the culprit to gain access to extremely sensitive bank details and change passwords; thus, allowing him enter the account. The miscreant then carried out the transactions from Ukraine and distributed the sum to several US banks.
Besides, a BBB agent said that it didn't surprise him that anyone had become victim of a phishing fraud. He said the incident at Bullitt County should be an alert to all the government organizations owning bank accounts through online services.
Meanwhile, an investigation by the FBI has started and Bullitt County Attorney stated that finding the perpetrator could take some time. While an FBI spokesman suspected that the theft had worldwide connections, he couldn't say if any criminal had been identified.

The Month of Twitter Bugs
About 3 years ago there were a series of vulnerability research campaigns for various targets: the Month of Apple Bugs, the Month of PHP Bugs, the Month of Kernel Bugs...
Aviv Raff is a pen-testing veteran of the Month of Browser Bugs. Now he has proposed bringing the bug-month method into the modern era with...
July 2009 will be the Month of Twitter Bugs—this sounds like it will be heavy with cross-site scripting problems of the sort Raff has blogged on recently.
The bugs will focus on the Twitter API and third party sloppy use of it. Raff will warn these services in advance and give them time to fix their problems before he parades them in public. He adds that bugs of this sort are common on Web 2.0 mashup sites. Perhaps it takes something like this to raise awareness of a problem.

Default Password Use Opened Telephone Networks to International Hacking Scheme
An international telephone network hacking scheme resulted in $55 million of hijacked calls,
Federal authorities in New Jersey have indicted three individuals in the Philippines who must now either be extradited or volunteer to come to the US to face charges. Cheap international calling time was sold through call centers in Italy. Italian authorities have also arrested 5 Pakistani nationals in connection with the scheme. Authorities indicate that the plan was somehow connected to funding terrorist plots.
The calls were made through corporate networks that the suspects hacked into using a brute force attack, finding access through PBXs that had default passwords.The indictment says that Pakistani operators of the Italian call centers paid the Philippine hackers $100 for each open PBX they found.
Default passwords are a common and easy way for hackers to attack systems. It's important for you to use strong passwords to protect your systems.
