    Don’t get phished because they know your home address

    Phishing emails are still one of the most effective methods of capturing people’s personal details without them realising it. It was how the Fappening came about and countless leaks and hacks have been possible purely because people were tricked. So make sure you’re extra vigilant in the future, as a new phishing scam is going around using people’s home addresses to make them think it’s legitimate.
    The fishy emails have been arriving in inboxes over the past few days, with variations on a similar theme which claims that the recipient owed money to a (often real) company, usually a specific sum north of £800. The communiqué suggests that the amount is outstanding and has been for some time, encouraging the reader to click on a link to find out more.

    Source: BBC
    While some no doubt clicked the link, potentially infecting themselves with malware in the process, others rang through to the respective companies, often concerned or angry that they were being accused of being in arrears. Of course those companies had little idea what they were talking about, no doubt providing some measure of relief, but also confusion.
    The identity of those responsible for the phishing attack remains unknown at this time, but it’s suspected by security experts, that the people emailed all came from one specific retailer’s mailing list, which they believe was hacked (as per BBC).
    Dr Steven Murdoch of the University College London, believes that the phishing attack bears some of the hallmarks of Russian gang attempts that have been recorded in the past. He also believed that the biggest threat from clicking links like this, was the potential to infect users with harmful malware like ransomware and should be avoided at all costs.

    Linking To Pirated Content Is Not Copyright Infringement

    The minute I read the headline I knew that this wasn't in the United States. How did I know that? Because if you so much as walk by a computer screen that once displayed a link to a site that may have had links to pirated content, you'll have a notice from the RIAA or MPAA in no time flat demanding money. Over here, linking to pirated content is, at the very least, considered aiding and abetting or an accessory to the crime.


    Linking to pirated content that is already available to the public can not be seen as copyright infringement under the European Copyright Directive. This is the advice Advocate General Melchior Wathelet has sent to the EU Court of Justice, in what may turn out to be a landmark case.

    Hackers infiltrate Philippines' election website, leak personal records belonging to 55M voters



    Hackers have reportedly managed to infiltrate the Philippines’ Commission on Elections (COMELEC) entire database, potentially putting at risk some 55 million registered voters.
    On March 27, Trend Micro says a hacker group defaced the COMELEC website. The site’s entire database was then posted online by another group. Despite initial efforts to downplay the impact of the leak, the security firm says its investigations showed a “huge” amount of sensitive personally identifiable information including passport and fingerprint data was included in the data dump.
    Given the number of registered voters in the country, Trend Micro says this may very well be the largest government-related data breach in history – an honor currently belonging to last year’s hack on the US government’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) which impacted 20 million Americans.
    The incident could be politically-motivated. Trend Micro notes that the country's national elections take place on May 9. What’s more, the first hacker group warned COMELEC to implement the security features of their Automated Voting System (AVS).
    COMELEC spokesperson James Jimenez conceded that the security of the website isn’t very tight but that the AVS runs on a different, more secure network. The spokesperson added that everything will go smoothly during the elections.
    Regardless of whether or not the election is tampered with, perhaps the bigger issue here is the fact that all voter information was leaked and can now be used against citizens. Some of the data was reportedly encrypted while other fields were apparently left wide open.

    EU court adviser says linking to pirated content is not illegal

    Over the years, plenty of sites that simply link to pirated content have been slammed with legal action despite not actively hosting. However, that could change over here in the EU as a court adviser has spoken out to say that simply linking to copyright infringing content publicly available on another site should not be considered illegal.
    Back in 2014, the EU Court of Justice announced that it does not see linking to publicly available content as a form of copyright infringement, which has now been backed up thanks to Advocate General, Melchior Wathelet, who is advising a Dutch court in a case involving a blog site that linked to a set of leaked Playboy photos.

    Explaining his stance, Melchior (via TorrentFreak) said: “Hyperlinks which lead, even directly, to protected works are not ‘making them available’ to the public when they are already freely accessible on another website, and only serve to facilitate their discovery.”
    This would essentially mean that sites like TV Links or Primewire, which are blocked by ISPs in the UK on copyright grounds, would not actually be breaking any laws as they don’t actively host content. This take on the matter isn’t legally binding and the eventual verdict of this specific case has yet to be announced but the court will likely take this opinion quite seriously.

    Report shows cybercriminals offer hacking courses, 24/7 customer service, and a range of products



    The underground marketplace where cybercriminals sell their goods and services is expanding to the point where it is little different from legitimate markets. Hackers are promoting their abilities and products to potential customers by providing details of their skills, experience, and how 'honest' they are. They even boast of their long working hours, 24/7 customer service, and the courses they provide that teach people hacking skills.
    The information comes from the third annual Underground Hacker Market Report by Dell SecureWorks, the cyber-security arm of Dell. It was put together by two intelligence analysts from the company’s CISO INTEL Team, who monitored various hacking forums from across the globe, paying particular attention to the Russian underground and English-speaking markets.
    "Like any other market in a capitalist system, the business of cybercrime is guided by the supply and demand for various goods and services," wrote the report's authors. "Unfortunately for the law-abiding public, both sides of that equation remain strong, with everything from credit cards to hacker-for-hire services being sold online."
    The report uncovered the average price someone could expect to pay when hiring a hacker’s services. Stealing emails from accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail cost around $129, and hacking into corporate email accounts is priced at $500 per mailbox. It’s cheaper to go after Russian emails, which costs between $65 to $105, and hacking an IP address is just $90.
    Many of the services offer to hack into social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter. Unlike email hacking, it’s cheaper to break into the US-based sites ($129) than the Russian ones like VR.ru and Ok.ru, which costs $194.
    When it came to purchasing other products and hacks, the report found Remote Access Trojans (RAT) for between $5 and $10, and Angler Exploit kits for between $100 and $135. DDoS attacks were charged by hourly, daily, or weekly rates, ranging from $5 to $555, and Doxing cost $20. The team even found ATM skimmers for sale, priced at $1775.
    Cybercriminals were also found to be selling company dossiers, bank account credentials, and airline and hotel points.
    Ultimately, the report shows what booming market cybercrime has become, and it looks as if it’s only going to get bigger.

    135 Million Modems Vulnerable To Denial-Of-Service Flaw

    If you are the owner of the Arris Surfboard SB6141, you should take a look at this. Unfortunately, there is no practical fix for the issue.


    More than 135 million modems are said to be vulnerable to a flaw that can leave users cut off from the internet -- just by someone clicking on a trick link. The vulnerability, found in a modem used in millions of US households, can allow an attacker with access to the network to remotely reset the device, which wipes out the internet provider's settings and causing a denial-of-service attack. Every person and device on the network will permanently lose access to the internet until the modem owner contacts their internet provider.

    Pirates Frustrated After TV Groups Swap MP4 For MKV

    I had thought MKV was the standard for years now and can’t remember ever not muxing my rips into another container format.


    While pirates may not appear to be the most organized people, the groups that make up the top of the piracy pyramid abide by strict rules. Every so often they agree on a new set of standards, which determine what a proper release should look like. Most recently, new changes were announced for TV show releases, and these are set to go into effect this coming weekend.

    MPA: We’ve Reached A Turning Point On Piracy

    It's nice to see the European arm of the MPAA acknowledge that, not only has progress been made in the fight against piracy, a turning point has been reached as well. It kinda makes you wonder how much things would change if there was even greater availability of digital media at a lower price point.


    The president of the MPAA's European operation says he believes a turning point has been reached on piracy, with service providers and search engines beginning to understand they all have a role to play. However, it's also clear that Hollywood is fearful of opening up content across Europe, which in itself could contribute to piracy.

    Authorities Shut Down Linux Server Botnet


    Thanks to the efforts of these hard working researchers, the six year old, 4,000-strong Mumblehard botnet has been taken down. The crooks have been hijacking unsuspecting Linux servers, turning them into spam machines, since early 2010.

    One year after the release of the technical analysis of the Mumblehard Linux botnet, we are pleased to report that it is no longer active. ESET, in cooperation with the Cyber Police of Ukraine and CyS Centrum LLC, have taken down the Mumblehard botnet, stopping all its spamming activities since February 29th, 2016. ESET is operating a sinkhole server for all known Mumblehard components. We are sharing the sinkhole data with CERT-Bund, which is taking care of notifying the affected parties around the world through their national CERTs.

    Petya ransomware cracked, here's how to get your data back for free




    Becoming infected with ransomware is often considered a death sentence. In most cases, you’re either forced to reformat and start fresh, reformat and load a backup or pay the ransom to get your data back like Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center did back in February.
    Last month, we learned of a new ransomware variant called Petya. What’s unique about Petya is the fact that it overwrites a hard drive’s master boot record (MBR) and destroys the file system. It was originally thought that the ransomware encrypted the entire hard drive but that’s not actually the case.
    Nevertheless, Twitter user @leostone has managed to crack the ransomware. It’s not all that easy for novice computer users to pull off but it is possible.
    As Bleeping Computer highlights, you’ll need to remove the infected hard drive from the computer in question to extract specific data from it. The data needed is 512-bytes starting at sector 55 (0x37h) with an offset of 0 and the 8 byte nonce from sector 54 (0x36) offset: 33 (0x21). This data then needs to be converted to Base64 encoding and used on the cracking site (mirrored here if the main site is down) to generate a decryption key.
    Fortunately, there’s a relatively simply way of gathering the necessary data as another Twitter user, @fwosar, has created a tool to easily extract everything that’s needed although it still requires removing the hard drive and connecting it to a working Windows PC. This can either be done by connecting the infected drive internally or using an external hard drive dock like the Thermaltake BlacX (my go-to drive dock).
    With the data from the tool in hand, simply enter it on @leostone’s site to generate a decryption key, take that key and enter it into the ransom page and boom, you’re good to go.
    Bleeping Computer was able to verify the method works, generating a decryption key in just seven seconds. It’s a bit of a hassle but if you don’t have a master backup, it’s probably your best bet to regain access to your data.

    Panama Papers law firm raided by police

    The law firm, Mossack Fonseca, that was the source of all of the recent information leaked during the Panama Papers reveal, has been raided by Panamanian police. The raid was said to have gone smoothly, “without incident or interference,” though since the original leak, Mossack Fonseca executives have denied any wrongdoing and suggest that the leak takes information out of context.
    Despite those claims though, the leak of the Panama law firms private files, provides far more context than any leak in history. In total 2.6 terabytes of financial records, emails and documents were leaked to journalists around the world, showing many of the world’s most powerful men and women to be involved in offshore trading, often it seemed, to avoid tax.
    In the wake of the revelations, much has happened in the political world, with the Icelandic Prime Minister resigning, David Cameron and other ministers forced to reveal their tax returns and there’s talk of national and international legislation changes because of it.

    Source: Reuters
    For their part in things, the Panama authorities have promised big investigations into this, which is what this raid was all about. Mossack Fonseca has promised to continue aiding the police and is adamant that it was the victim of hacking and little more.
    That said, as the BBC points out, Ramon Fonseca, the major partner in the firm, was recently a minister for the Panama government, but had to step down after other allegations linked him to a corruption scandal with a Brazilian oil firm.

    Journalist Sentenced To Two Years In Hacking Case

    Do you guys remember this genius? Well, it looks like he has finally been sentenced today and ended up getting a two year prison sentence. As you might expect, his lawyer says he will file an appeal.


    Keys was convicted of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) last October, in a bizarre case that led to the temporary defacement of a story about a tax bill on the LA Times website. (The headline was altered to read "Pressure builds in House to elect CHIPPY 1337" by an unidentified individual and was live on the Times‘ website for only about 40 minutes before it was corrected.)
