SCM te previene de ataques pharming
2007-07-18 00:00:00 Creada por Simon A. Spacey como parte de un trabajo de investigación de la Universidad de Cambridge, la extensión SCM (Site Continuity Management, algo así como gestión de la continuidad de un sitio) verifica la IP de cada sitio al que nos conectamos, y alerta al usuario cuando detecta que algún website la ha cambiado de forma sospechosa, lo que podría ser un ataque del tipo conocido como “pharming”. Cuando la extensión detecta que algo extraño está ocurriendo, muestra un recuadro de alerta en el que indica cuáles IPs son válidos y cuáles podrían estar relacionados con uno de estos ataques. Para acceder a las opciones de la extensión basta con hacer click en el espacio informativo que ella agrega a la barra de estado de Firefox. Una vez allí se puede activar o desactivar SCM o la confirmación de IPs a través de la base de datos de PRIV8. También se le puede indicar que muestre sólo mensajes de alta prioridad y que elimine la información almacenada en su base de datos al...

Phishing and pharming
2007-07-06 08:07:00 Using a variety of nefarious methods, phishing and pharming are a consistent problem that threatens everyone with identity theft. If you recognize what these methods are and how malicious users employ them, you can keep yourself and your users from becoming a victim. A quick review Phishing involves sending an e-mail that claims to be a legitimate business in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information. Pharming involves the same goals with a different method; malicious users employ spyware, keyloggers, domain spoofing, domain hijacking, or domain cache poisoning to obtain personal or private (usually financial) information. To put it bluntly, criminals try to steal your identity by getting you to divulge financial data such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords, and social security numbers. They sell this information, and it then becomes an identity theft crime. Recognize the methods The primary method for this crime is to send e-mails tha...

Cisco says 77 of its routers open to drive by pharming
2007-02-23 06:34:03 Cisco Systems Inc. is warning users that nearly 80 of its routers are vulnerable to a hack tactic that got play last week. Dubbed "drive by pharming" by Symantec Corp. and university researchers who first publicized the danger in a paper, the attack involves luring users to malicious sites where a device’s default password is used to redirect them to bogus sites. Once they are at those sites, their identities could be stolen or malware could be force-fed to their computers. In an advisory posted Thursday, Cisco listed 77 vulnerable routers in the lines sold to small offices, home offices, branch offices and telecommuters. The advisory recommended that users change the default username and password required to access the router’s configuration settings, and disable the device’s HTTP server feature.

Security Experts Warn of Drive By Pharming Attacks
2007-02-19 06:25:02 With traditional pharming, an attacker redirects a user from a legitimate Web site to a bogus Web site that contains malicious code.
