Trojanized Android App Checks for Keywords in SMS Messages
August 9, 2011Android malware that monitor messages from specific numbers sent to infected devices have been frequently seen in the past. These typically intercept messages from premium numbers in order to prevent affected users from suspecting device infection. The Android malware we recently saw, however, took a different approach, as it monitored certain keywords contained in text messages received via infected devices instead.

Insulin Pumps, Monitors Vulnerable To Hacking
August 4, 2011Even the human bloodstream isn’t safe from computer hackers.
A security researcher who is diabetic has identified flaws that could allow an attacker to remotely control insulin pumps and alter the readouts of blood-sugar monitors. As a result, diabetics could get too much or too little insulin, a hormone they need for proper metabolism.
Jay Radcliffe, a diabetic who experimented on his own equipment, shared his findings with The Associated Press before releasing them Thursday at the Black Hat computer security conference in Las Vegas.

Revealed: Operation Shady RAT
August 4, 2011Massive Cyber-Spying Operation, ‘Shady Rat,’ Revealed: Dozens of government entities, major companies and non-profits were the victims of a massive, years-long cyber-attack effort, according to a study released Wednesday by security firm McAfee.

Dubbed “Operation Shady Rat” by the report’s author, Dmitri Alperovitch, the effort took data from groups ranging from the United Nations to media organizations, the government of Taiwan and the International Olympic Committee, the study says.
The targeting of the IOC and the World Anti-Doping Agency, which were targeted around the 2008 Olympics – “potentially pointed a finger at a state actor behind the intrusions, because there is likely no commercial benefit to be earned from such hacks,” Alperovitch wrote. And it doesn’t take too much reading between the lines to conclude which nation he’s talking about. Vanity Fair, in its scoop on the report, quotes other security experts as saying the signs point to China.
