¡Homer Simpson tiene su malware!
2008-07-20 17:40:00 La historia comenzó hace unos años. En un capítulo de "Los Simpsons" -una de las series de dibujos animados más famosas de la historia de la televisión- Hommer u Homero Simpson daba a conocer que su dirección de correo electrónico era "chunkylover53@aol.com".Muchos- fans de la serie agregaron esta dirección como contacto y los productores de la serie decidieron que uno de ellos respondiera como si fuese de verdad Hommer Simpson. Con el tiempo, esa dirección dejó de responder correos y mensajes y nada más se supo de ella.En la última semana, sin embargo, han sido varios los usuarios que han visto cómo esa dirección volvía de nuevo a estar operativa y enviaba un mensaje invitando a ver en exclusiva un nuevo capítulo de "Los Simpson". (Puede ver el mensaje aquí). En realidad, no era la misma dirección la que volvía a estar activa, sino otras cuentas usando el identificador de Chunkylover53, es decir, simulando ser la cuenta de "Hommer Simpson".Cuando el usuario pinchaba en el link, lo q...
¡Atención! Cuentas de e-mail verdaderas utilizadas para propagar malware
2008-07-18 13:37:00 Cuentas reales de usuarios de servicios como Hotmail, Yahoo! y GMail son utilizadas para enviar códigos maliciosos a sus contactos logrando un mayor nivel de confianza en quien recibe el correo electrónico, según informa la compañía de Seguridad Informática ESET.El principal problema de esta nueva técnica es que los e-mails provienen de cuentas de usuarios reales, y dentro del cuerpo del mensaje se encuentra un enlace que termina en la descarga de un código malicioso.El malware del enlace está alojado en servicios gratuitos de descarga de archivos y cada archivo específico presenta un promedio diario de más de 10 mil descargas que concluyen en el mismo código malicioso, el Win32/TrojanDownloader.Banload.-QPR, que tiene como fin la descarga de otros gusanos detectados por ESET NOD32 bajo el nombre de Win32/Banwor.NBF.Los correos electrónicos son enviados con distintas temáticas y asuntos, por lo que es aún más difícil identificarlos de forma sencilla.

Vulnerabilidad en Adobe Flash distribuye malware
2008-05-30 22:44:00 Los ciberdelincuentes están distribuyendo archivos con extensión .swf (la extensión de los archivos de Flash) modificados para aprovechar esta nueva vulnerabilidad en Adobe Flash de dos maneras distintas. En algunos casos, cuando un usuario visita una página web que contiene uno de estos archivos modificados, su navegador interpreta el código incluido en los mismos como una orden para descargar un ejemplar de malware determinado. En otros casos, el código incluido en el archivo Flash lo que hace es redirigir la navegación en segundo plano -es decir, sin que el usuario se percate de ello- a una página maliciosa desde la que se lanzan nuevos ataques contra el sistema, con el fin de introducir malware en el mismo.
Vista laid low by new malware figures
2008-05-26 16:33:00 Slashdot It!It looks as if Vista's reputation for improved security could be heading for the pages of history. PC Tools has renewed last week's attack on the platform with new figures that appear to back up its claim that Vista is almost as vulnerable as its predecessors.According to analysis from the Australian company's ThreatFire user base, 58,000 PCs running Vista were compromised by at least one piece of malware over the six months to May 2008, equivalent to 27 percent of all Vista machines probed. Vista made up 12.6 percent, or 190,692, of the 1,513,502 machines running Windows in the user base.In total, Vista suffered 121,380 instances of malware from its 190,000 user base, a rate of malware detection per system is proportionally lower than that of XP, which saw 1,319,144 malware infections from a user base of 1,297,828 machines, but it indicates a problem that is worse than Microsoft has been admitting to.Only a week ago, PC Tools revealed that Vista was as likely to be h...

An Examination of Malware - Take This Seriously Or Lose It All
2008-05-01 15:39:00 The term "malware" refers to what is viewed as malicious software. A computer cracker might install malware on a machine for one or more reasons. The conniving computer cracker hopes that installation of the malware will allow him or her to travel at will throughout the database in the computer registry.The computer cracker knows that many home computers have important banking information stored on them. The computer cracker knows that by putting malware on a hospital computer, he or she can hope to obtain valuable health information. Perhaps computer crackers used malware to retrieve the information sighted in recent news reports, the information taken from records at the UCLA Medical Center.Now every computer owner should know that he or she can not expect conventional anti-virus software to detect the presence of malware in a computer. When putting malware in a computer, the computer cracker capitalizes on the features of a polymorphic virus. Such a virus can modify each of its v...

Virus's - Is Your Computer Riddled With Adware, Spyware And Malware?
2008-04-19 15:43:00 AdwareMost spyware can be broken up into two major groups: adware and malware. Adware does not mislead the user, it provides the user with a specific service. Adware is usually just an annoyance, but in some cases can cause greater difficulties. The term adware frequently refers to any software which displays advertisements, whether or not the user has consented. Although most adware is spyware in a different sense for a different reason: it displays advertisements related to what it finds from spying on you.Like most anti-virus software, many anti-spyware/adware tools require a frequently-updated database of threats. It includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, dishonest adware, and other malicious and unwanted software. Spyware is often associated with software that displays advertisements (called adware) or software that tracks personal or sensitive information. Somewhere,you've clicked the wrong link and a Trojan horse has piled your PC with adware and spyware.W...
