2008, el año del malware
2008-12-09 17:47:00 El número de virus, troyanos, spyware, gusanos y demás códigos maliciosos que se distribuyen a través de Internet aumenta año tras año, en una tendencia que se viene manteniendo desde el mismo momento en que la Red cobró forma. Estaba cantado que el 2008 iba a batir los números del 2007, y así ha sido. La empresa de seguridad informática F-Secure lo ha confirmado después de hacer público un informe en el que relata que desde enero se ha detectado un incremento enorme en la cantidad de malware circulante. Tal ha sido el aumento que se han multiplicado por 3 las cifras que se registraron el año pasado, ya de por sí históricas. Lejos de lo que creemos la mayoría, el malware es cada vez más un negocio ligado a empresas organizadas y no a usuarios que a título individual programan aplicaciones en su tiempo libre para ver qué son capaces de hacer. Pero, ¿cómo acabar con esta lacra? Según F-Secure es imprescindible que los distintos países lleguen a un acuerdo para poner en marcha una...

Breaking News Alerts Phishing Scam
2008-08-15 06:58:00 Updated August 15:I haven't read about this yet, but in the past week or so, I have gotten some sort of phishing scam coming from CNN Breaking News Alerts and MSNBC Breaking News Alerts.They look very professional and seem like they are coming from CNN and MSNBC themselves. But I never signed up for either, so I figured it must a phishing attempt. I went to the page to change my settings to stop getting the newsletters that I never even signed up for in the first place, and it looked just like the CNN webpage. Good job, guys!A few days later, Google started marking these CNN News Alerts for me as phishing attempts. Now it's marking these hazy MSNBC alerts the same way. It turns out that both the CNN Breaking News Alerts and the MSNBC Breaking News Alerts were indeed phishing scams!Meantime, watch out for CNN News Alerts or MSNBC News Alerts coming to your mailbox when you never signed up for either one.

¡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...

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...
