Hi folks, So, the most common thing that we see nearly every day is some form of ClipJacking on Facebook. Some folks call it ClickJacking, because the victim clicks on some button, and the web page intercepts the click and directs it somewhere else. Some folks call it LikeJacking, because it always tells all your [...]

(No, he’s not… I’m just grabbing the headline before the Bad Guys do) Hi folks, As the saying goes, when you’re on a good thing, stick to it, and thus it is with the Facebook ClickJackers (or they might be more correctly called, ClipJackers, as it always involves a video clip). Just one of the [...]

Hi folks, So, last night, we suggested that the malicious Search Engine Optimization experts would jump on the news of Bin Laden’s death, and lo and behold, so it was. What we didn’t expect was to see the FaceBook ClickJackers jump on it too. In fact, the ClickJackers were the first to pop up. They [...]

Hi folks, As everyone will know in the next few hours, Osama Bin Laden has been killed. What this means to the world in general remains to be seen, but what it means to computer security is Search Engine Optimization. It is a given that lurid headlines such as “Watch this video of Bin Laden’s [...]

Hi folks, On Tuesday, Sony told the world their network had been hacked, and that data of 77m users, including credit card details, were potentially exposed. Evidently, they discovered the hack a week before, and Sony is being criticized for being slow to tell people. The first point I’d like to make is that such [...]

Hi folks, Yesterday was John James Audubon’s birthday, as I’m sure everyone knew (is there an emoticon for “tongue firmly in cheek”?). Seriously though, I may not have known, but Google knew, and as they do for special occasions, they changed their famous logo to something nifty and appropriate… [...]

Hi folks, Reports started circulating today about a new computer virus having been discovered in Iran. They were calling it Stars, and claimed it was another directed attack. Aside from that, details are kind of scant. Now, it is certainly possible that a second attack is underway, but there are other possibilities that are equally [...]

Hi folks, On Feb 27th, 2011, we noticed what can reasonably be described as a huge spike in Blackhole exploit kit detections. To put it in perspective,”attack campaigns” usually peak at around 100-200k detections, and 200k would be considered a large run, but this one ran for a few days at that level, and then [...]

Hi folks, On Jan 9th, the Sydney Morning Herald ran a very interesting story about millions of Vodafone customers having their data leaked. The article is slightly misleading, albeit probably unintentionally, because on first reading it looks like _all_ four million Vodafone customers had their data leaked, but after reading it, and some related articles, it [...]
