Following on from yesterday's EEG Web site hack, a collection of recently registered sites, hosted on blogspot.com, claim to have obtained an explicit video featuring Hong Kong actor Edison Chan and actress Cecilia Cheung. When a user visits one of these sites, they are prompted to download "a new version of Video ActiveX Object" to play the video. Needless to say, the file setup.exe is not an update as claimed. Rather, it is a malicious file detected as Trojan.Zlob by Symantec antivirus products. The read more »

Due to some confusion with this particular threat, we’ve decided to provide some further details on the Orkut worm we blogged on earlier in the week. The worm, recently renamed to W32.Scrapkut, uses active code injection as a vehicle to propagate to the Orkut friends of its unfortunate victim. Initially, a malicious scrap is posted to the victim’s scrapbook, containing a link to what appears to be a YouTube video: When a victim clicks on the link, they are redirected to an external site which prompts read more »

Online tech support forums are starting to light up over an increasing number of PCs sickened by something called the "MonaRonaDona virus," a piece of malware that threatens to trash host computers. As it happens, MonaRonaDona appears to be a relatively innocuous invader that was created to scare people into purchasing a fake new anti-virus product. I first read about MonaRonaDona in a discussion thread over at the excellent DSL Reports Security Forum, where members...Please click on the title to continue read more »

Last week, Security Fix featured the highlights from a non-public report by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) that examined a huge recent spike in the cost of computer intrusions for banks and consumers. I chose not to publish the report itself at the time, but due in part to the large number of requests I've received from people inside the financial sector who claim to have never seen such figures from the government before,...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry. read more »

The scams in this case took the form of a type of phishing known as "vishing," wherein cell-phone users receive a text message warning that their bank account has been closed due to suspicious activity, and that they need to call...Please click read more »
