Malware targets all Android phones — except those in Russia

A malware program for Android seen advertised on Russian underground forums in the last few months appears to have made its first big debut.MazarBOT can take full control of a phone and appears to be targeting online banking customers, wrote Peter Kruse, an IT security expert and founder of CSIS Security Group, based in Copenhagen, which does deep investigations into online crime for financial services companies."Until now, MazarBOT has been advertised for sale on several websites on the Dark Web, but this is the first time we’ve seen this code to be deployed in active attacks," Kruse wrote.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.

Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen.

She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek, then Continue reading

Deploying Code to Devices Through your NMS

 
 

note: It’s come to my attention that WordPress is truncating some of my posts so that the right hand side is blocked by the side bar. My apologies for the this. I’ll get it fixed ( or more likely move to GH pages ) as quickly as possible. Thanks for your patience

@netmanchris

 

If you’re luck enough to have an NMS as powerful as HPE IMC then you already have a very capable system which has a ton of APIs that you probably didn’t even know about. IMC isn’t the only NMS which has APIs these days, but it’s the one we’re going to be looking at here.

We’ve spent the last few posts ( here, here, and here running through creating some network configurations through the Jinja2 templating language.

There are at least a couple of immediate benefits to this approach:

  • Consistency in the configuration between devices
  • Accuracy in the commands going into your devices

But the one large draw back is that you’ve still got to cut and paste that configuration into your device somehow, which is not the ideal scenario. We’re trying to get away from touching our devices.

Windows 10 calls home a lot; Russia hikes tech tax and intends to switch to Linux

“We are breeding the cow and they are milking it” - German Klimenko, Vladimir Putin’s new Internet czar on Google, Microsoft, and Apple doing business in Russia  Keith Weller, USDA / Wikimedia When it comes to high tech, American companies dominate the Russian market and, perhaps not surprisingly, that doesn’t site well with the Russian government which would prefer to see homegrown offerings such as Yandex and Mail.ru get more market traction. The consequence, according to Bloomberg, is a plan by the Russian government to increase the taxes the American tech giants by 18 percent. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Database for Microsoft Careers mobile site was leaking data, vulnerable to attack

If you want to work at Microsoft, then you likely have visited Microsoft Careers. The backend database for the mobile version of Microsoft’s jobs portal was misconfigured, exposing user information and leaving the site vulnerable to attack.Security researcher Chris Vickery has a knack for exposing leaky databases such the one that put 13 million MacKeeper users at risk, another which exposed personal information of 191 million voters, yet another held 18 million voter records with targeted profile data, and one that exposed 140,000 class and student records from Southern New Hampshire University; he also discovered a leaked Hello Kitty database with 3.3 million user accounts, some belonging to kids. This time, Vickery said he found another misconfigured MongoDB database which exposed registered users’ information and had write-access to the contents of the database.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Minus 10 makes minus 8 seem balmy

Regular readers may recall that a year or so ago I took a moment away from this blog’s typical fare to note that it was minus 8 degrees outside, also known as “pretty nippy for these parts.”This morning, as you can see in the picture above, it’s minus 10.And I did the math after my fingers thawed out.Now obvious caveats: Minus 10 isn’t considered all that cold in some places. Where you live, for example, I’ve heard tell that at minus 10 water doesn’t even bother to freeze.In Massachusetts, however, minus 10 is wicked cold, as in I’ve lived here for more than half a century and can’t recall ever being outside when the thermometer was reading double-digits below zero.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
