Day-in-the-life of a bankbot. I rec’d the email this article refers to. I wonder who in my 7 degrees is infected… http://ow.ly/3jOin

Domain Name Service providers back slowly away from WikiLeaks. http://ow.ly/3jOGV Peer-to-peer DNS forthcoming. http://ow.ly/3jOL5 Weird!!

Researcher workload just doubled with discovery of new variant of ZeuS Zbot malware.

A honeypot is a computer or virtual machine that has no actual production use, other than to act as fly paper for attackers.

Google was going about it’s business of mapping the world when it stepped on the toes of  Britain’s Data Protection Act.  Apparently the UK Act protects unsecured wireless networks and Google didn’t know that.  They routinely mine unsecured networks for email addresses and more and that is strictly disallowed by the DPA.

A London-based technology lawyer Phil James believes the maximum $800,000 fine could be to low for some violations.   “The rewards for multinationals creating new technologies are rightly vast, but it is only fair that the penalties for inadvertently or directly breaching data liabilities are sufficiently restraining,” James said.

What else does Google mine from unsecured networks?  How do they use the information?  Hmmm…

I find myself increasingly fascinated by the sophistication of the malware threat. From my perspective as a network systems administrator and a security consultant, malware was before considered a nuisance merely impacting PC performance.

Zeus appears to be a sea change in the story of malware. No longer are the users only affecting themselves(their own PCs performance) when they surf irresponsibly and contract a malware infection. Authentication credentials and thus financial and corporate secrets are at risk from only one infection in an environment. And it is now clear that variants like Zeus are being used by organized criminals to compile complex profiles on their victims in preparation for the real attack.

What are you all doing on the network administration side to mitigate these threats? We employ firewalls, proxies, script blockers and machine scans, all at very reasonable low cost. Are these countermeasures enough to combat these sophisticated attacks?
