Firefox users at risk

Researchers from the anti-virus vendor BitDefender have come across an innovative piece of malware that hides itself and functions as a Firefox extension. The malicious add-on is a trojan that monitors user activity on numerous banking sites and steals the login credentials.

In order to fly under the radar, this trojan, identified by BitDefender as Trojan.PWS.ChromeInject, registers itself to the browser as “Greasemonkey.” Greasemonkey is actually the name of an advanced and legit Firefox extension that allows users to modify the appearance and rendering of visited web pages, through local JavaScript files.

IE XML Parsing BoF exploit

A new XML based heap corruption exploit has been published on milwOrm, the exploit affects all versions of IE, tested for IE 6.x, IE 7.x, XP SP2, XP SP3 and Vista which endangers your safety if you use Internet Exploiter for browsing.

The exploit allows someone remotely to download/execute anything on your machine.

Kaspersky Antivirus is able to detect and block the execution of the exploit, however, this might not be true if the exploit was hardcoded. Play safe.

an inside look on the exploit has been written by my brother DATA_SNIPER on his blog, click  H E R E to read about it.

An interesting portal for learning

You can find the link under “Links” section to the right, “InetDaemon”. Enjoy.

Corrupted no more

What’s up?

I have been away for quite some time now that I wasn’t able to notice that WordPress.com has improved in many ways including changing my default settings that accept all comments and stopped the new ones!

All comments now have been approved and published, sorry for that, anyway, I hope I’m up and running again because I just finished the most tiring week ever in my life, total sleeping time was AFAICR 18 hours going 20 or something like that distributed all over the week randomly in small pieces.

so what’s up?
