Four in 10 US SMBs not secure

Despite the best efforts of many small and medium sized companies, a recent US survey shows that four in 10 companies believe that their networks are not secure. Thirty-two percent of the companies also reported that they had suffered a breach in the past 12 months alone citing virus attacks and Internet downloads as the leading cause of the security breach. The survey, conducted by eMediaUSA on behalf of GFI Software, an international network security software developer, was given to 455 IT executives from U.S. based small and medium sized businesses (SMBs). Further results on the survey can be found at http://www.gfi.com/documents/rv/smbsurvey.pdf

Hey, HP laptop owners: click here to get hijacked

If you use a Hewlett-Packard laptop, chances are a hacker can hijack your machine simply by luring you to a malicious website. The pwnage comes courtesy of "HP Info Center", which comes installed on most HP laptops, according to a post made Tuesday to Milw0rm.com. It turns out one of the ActiveX controls uses three insecure methods that leave users open to remote code execution and remote registry manipulation-based attacks. The culprit is a component titled HPInfoDLL.dll, which by default is marked as "Safe for Scripting". It's at least the second critical flaw to be reported this year in an HP laptop, Ryan Naraine's Zero Day blog says. There is no patch for the flaw at the moment, so the only way to block an attack is to exercise common sense. That means not clicking on suspicious links and installing an alternative to Internet Explorer, which is required for an exploit to work. In Firefox, using the NoScript extension is preferable. Other workarounds i...

LG a dezvaluit oficial noul lor telefon 3G, quad-band LG KU990 .

NSA-affiliated IPs/DNS as of 19 Dec 2007 05:57hrsGMT

Certain privacy/full session SSL email hosting services have been purchased/changed operational control by NSA and affiliates within the past few months, through private intermediary entities. Hushmail: now fully owned by private entity NSA affiliate; has had informal relationship with NSA for a number of years that effectively provided NSA with real time access to Hushmail's hosting servers. Safe-mail.net: Israeli-based, ironically privately lauded by NSA and US military several years ago for its sound implementation of SendMail with SSL webmail GUI frontend. Now provides mail server info to NSA in real time. Guardster.com (SSH/SSL proxy): NSA contractors have "bought" full access rights to Guardster servers a few days ago. Separate but related: faciliated port sniffing of hosting servers at Everyones Internet, on NSA affiliates' behalf, has been ongoing for a number of months now.
