BEWARE: Facebook Scam threatening to delete your account!

Sending a fraud request

A Facebook scam, dubbed the cleverest yet, gets users to provide their passwords and financial details by accusing them of violating the site's policy and threatens to delete their account.

Experts said the recent assault designed to steal users' Facebook details is among the most sophisticated yet because it mimics the security procedures that sites use to defend against internet trolls and other bad behaviour online.

The scam comes in an email accusing the user of insulting or annoying another Facebook user and saying their account will be deleted in 24 hours.

The email requires Facebook login details and, for "authentication" purposed, parts of a person's credit card details. The email links to a fake account disabled page that asks for personal details, including credit card information.

The access to login details helps the scam travel farther and faster by sending it to new users from trusted friends.

Expert Advice:

The emails are entirely bogus. They are not coming from Facebook. Social media venues would not request financial information, nor would they request login details. With the credit card information, fraudsters can conduct identity theft and other malicious financial activity.

Website Hoax-Slayer discovered the scam and warned against emails with the phrase: "Last warning: Your account is considered to violated the policies that are considered annoying or insulting to Facebook users."

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cyber Security Audit FAIL

The DHS US-CERT office is currently plagued by at least 600 vulnerabilities

A new report warns that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is falling short on some cybersecurity protocols.

The news of cybersecurity shortcomings at the agency are more than slightly concerning, as DHS has been tapped to lead information security efforts nationally for both the public and private sectors.

The report, titled DHS Needs to Improve the Security Posture of Its Cybersecurity Program Systems, indicates that the DHS has failed a security audit conducted by the agency's own Inspector General:

The objective of our audit was to determine whether adequate physical and logical access controls are in place to secure the cybersecurity program systems utilized by US-CERT and safeguard the data collected and disseminated by US-CERT. Specifically, we:
  • Determined what and how cybersecurity data is collected and maintained by US-CERT

  • Evaluated the adequacy of physical security controls implemented to protect NCSD’s cybersecurity program systems

  • Determined whether US-CERT has implemented effective system security controls to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of cybersecurity data.

  • Determined whether the system documentation for DHS’ cybersecurity program systems has been completed in compliance with DHS and FISMA requirements
"Adequate security controls have not been implemented on the [Mission Operating Environment] to protect the data processed from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction," the IG concluded.
The report indicates the DHS US-CERT is grappling with more than six hundred network vulnerabilities, with more two-hundred of them having been identified as critical.

"The results of our vulnerability assessments revealed that [National Cyber Security Division] is not applying timely security and software patches on the [Mission Operating Environment]," the report continued.

DHS indicated that the agency has implemented "a software management tool [to] automatically deploy operating-system and application-security patches and updates to mitigate current and future vulnerabilities," according to a statement by DHS spokeswoman Amy Kudwa.

The FUD: Cyber Attacks on Illinois Water Systems?

US Water System Hacked: A Community-Wide Issue

On November 17th Joe Weiss, a well-known member of the Industrial Control System (ICS) community, posted on his blog about a recent US water system hack.

Joe points out that the disclosure concerning the Nov 8th supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) hack was made by Illinois Statewide Terrorism and Intelligence Center on Nov 10th.

Joe's post stated that the SCADA software vendor was compromised and that customer usernames and passwords were stolen as well as possible physical damage to the utility. He further states that the IP address of the attacker traced back to Russia, which does not provide any attribution but is nevertheless interesting.

The compromise of a US water facility should be concerning for a number of reasons. Firstly, the idea of anyone or any group (nation state or not) breaking into SCADA and control systems in the US highlights a weakness in our nation's infrastructure.

What is hard to discern though is how many attacks are prevented on a daily basis by the men and women taking up the very difficult challenge of cyber defense. Regardless though, this is a fight that must continue to get support and attention in the cyber community.

Secondly, a water facility has a direct impact over the health of the citizens that it provides. A compromise of such a facility, depending on the scale of the compromise, could reasonably lead to the loss of life. This is to say that the concern for security of the ICS and SCADA community is not and cannot simply be financial.

The reported attack against this water SCADA system, although it is in no way possible to determine at this time, could be this style of attack. This is important to think about in regards to what future attacks may hold, what the motives for the attacks are, and what attacks may currently be going unnoticed.

Hackers attack Norway's oil, gas and defence businesses

Oil, gas and defence firms in Norway have been hit by a series of sophisticated hack attacks.

Industrial secrets and information about contract negotiations had been stolen, said Norway's National Security Agency (NSM).

It said 10 firms, and perhaps many more, had been targeted in the biggest wave of attacks to hit the country.

Norway is the latest in a growing list of nations that have lost secrets and intellectual property to cyber thieves.

The attackers won access to corporate networks using customised emails with viruses attached which did not trigger anti-malware detection systems.

Targeted attacks

The NSM said the email messages had been sent to specific named individuals in the target firms and had been carefully crafted to look like they had come from legitimate sources.


Many of the virus-laden emails were sent while the companies were in the middle of negotiations over big contracts.

It said user names, passwords, industrial drawings, contracts and documents had been stolen and taken out of the country.

The NSM believes the attacks are the work of one group, based on its analysis of the methods used to target individuals, code inside the viruses and how the data was extracted.

The agency said it was publishing information about the attacks to serve as a warning and to encourage other targeted firms to come forward.

"This is the first time Norway has revealed extensive and wide computer espionage attacks," the NSM said in a statement.

Singled out

It said it found out about the attacks when "vigilant users" told internal IT security staff, who then informed the agency.


However, the NSM said, it was likely that many of the companies that had been hit did not know that hackers had penetrated their systems and stolen documents.

Security firms report that many other nations and industrial sectors have been targeted by data thieves in recent months.

The chemical industry, hi-tech firms and utilities appear to have been singled out.

How Thieves Steal Your Credit Card Data?

Some tips to avoid Identity Theft and stealing of your credit card.

Background

These days, thieves only need a minute, sometimes a second, to pilfer your credit card data.

This year criminals hacked, phished or skimmed their way into the systems of Sony, marketing firm Epsilon, Citibank and even security expert RSA, among others. In some cases, they only obtained names and emails. In the worst cases, they got credit card numbers.

Identity theft and cyber fraud cost Australia a whopping $8.5 billion every year. One in five Australians will be hit and it's getting worse every day.

The most common schemes are simpler than you think. Let's take a look at the most common ways thieves pilfer your credit card information.

Suspect 1: The Waitress At Your Local Cafe

Mode Of Operation:

When it's time to pay the waitress whisks away your credit card and swipes it through the restaurant's register. Then, she pulls out a small device, about the size of an ice cube, from her apron and swipes it through that.

While you're scraping the last of the chocolate cake from your plate, your credit card information has been stored in the device, known as a skimmer. The waitress returns your card and performs the same magic trick on dozens of credit cards in a week.

Known Whereabouts:

The data-stealing waitress has been known to moonlight as a bartender, sales assistant or at any place where she can take your credit card out of sight.

Suspect 2: The Toy Store Trio

Mode Of Operation:

Sally, Simon and Greg walk into a toy store. Sally and Simon roam the aisles, while Greg waits in line to check out. When Greg is at the register, Simon comes running up to the shop assistant, screaming that his wife has fainted.

As Sally and Simon distract the shop assistant, Greg switches the credit card reader at the register with a modified one of his own.

For the next week, the shop assistant unwittingly collects credit card data on the modified reader until the trio returns, takes back the modified reader and restores the original terminal.

Known Whereabouts:

The trio will hit other retailers and restaurants, but sometimes the threesome will instead be a duo or a solo criminal.

Suspect 3: The Petrol Prowler

Mode Of Operation:

The Petrol Prowler parks her car in front of a petrol station off the highway. It's late. There's no one around except a sleepy shop assistant at the register inside. The Petrol Prowler attaches a skimmer over the credit card reader at the pump. It's a special skimmer: It emits a Bluetooth signal to a laptop close by.

The Petrol Prowler pays, heads off to the motel next door and sets up her laptop to receive the data from the compromised pump over the next several days.

Known Whereabouts:

The Petrol Prowler installs skimmers over ATMs, parking meters, vending machines and any other places with unmanned credit card readers.

Suspect 4: Harry the Hacker and Phishing Phil

Mode Of Operation:

Harry the Hacker installs malware - a type of software that damages or infiltrates a computer or network - onto a legitimate website with low security. The malware instantly downloads onto your computer when you visit the site and allows Harry to access your information. In another scenario, Harry puts malware on public computers and gathers the information you share with that computer.

Phishing Phil uses malware to go after your laptop. He sends emails with attachments that promise dancing kittens or some other bait. When the user opens the attachment, malware instantly downloads onto the computer and leaves confidential information vulnerable.

Phil also sends emails from a familiar sender with a link to a contaminated website that installs malware onto your computer. Some malware, called spyware, allows Phil to capture every keystroke including passwords to your financial accounts.

What Happens To Your Information?

Mode Of Operation:

So what happens to these pieces of data when they're in no-good hands? They get sold.

The waitress, trio or Petrol Prowler may be able to sell each swipe for $20 to $40 a pop. Harry the Hacker and Phishing Phil could get $5 to $10 a card and often sell the information online at the eBay of credit card activity.

The person who buys the information verifies it and then sells it to a person who creates fraudulent credit cards with your account information attached to it. The card maker then sells it to other criminals who buy goods such as stereos or baby formula and sells them to regular consumers.

Identity Theft: How To Avoid It

  1. Set up mobile alerts for your phone if your financial institution provides the feature. That way, you can be aware of unusual activity as quickly as possible.

  2. Regularly monitor your accounts online, so you can identify fraudulent transactions faster.

  3. Avoid public computers. Don't log onto your email if your bank corresponds with you there. One idea is to set up an email account just for your finances and then only check it from safe locations.

  4. Avoid doing business with unfamiliar online vendors. Stick to established merchants and websites.

  5. If your information has been compromised, notify your financial institutions immediately and also inform the police what has happened.

Now you can DDOS SSL?

SSL DDOS tool released in to the wild with download

THC-SSL-DOS is a tool to verify the performance of SSL.Establishing a secure SSL connection requires 15x more processing power on the server than on the client. THC-SSL-DOS exploits this asymmetric property by overloading the server and knocking it off the Internet. This problem affects all SSL implementations today.

The vendors are aware of this problem since 2003 and the topic has been widely discussed. This attack further exploits the SSL secure Renegotiation feature Comparing flood DDoS vs. SSL-Exhaustion attack. A traditional flood DDoS attack cannot be mounted from a single DSL connection.

This is because:
  • The bandwidth of a server is far superior to the bandwidth of a DSL connection
  • A DSL connection is not an equal opponent to challenge the bandwidth of a server
  • This is turned upside down for THC-SSL-DOS
  • The processing capacity for SSL handshakes is far superior at the client side
  • A laptop on a DSL connection can challenge a server on a 30Gbit link
Traditional DDoS attacks based on flooding are sub optimal. Servers are prepared to handle large amount of traffic and clients are constantly sending requests to the server even when not under attack. The SSL-handshake is only done at the beginning of a secure session and only if security is required. Servers are not prepared to handle large amount of SSL Handshakes. The worst attack scenario is an SSL-Exhaustion attack mounted from thousands of clients (SSL-DDoS).

Tips & Tricks for whitehats
  1. The average server can do 300 handshakes per second. This would require 10-25% of your laptops CPU.
  2. Use multiple hosts (SSL-DOS) if an SSL Accelerator is used.
  3. Be smart in target acquisition: The HTTPS Port (443) is not always the best choice. Other SSL enabled ports are more unlikely to use an SSL Accelerator (like the POP3S, SMTPS, ... or the secure database port).
Counter measurements: No real solutions exists. The following steps can mitigate (but not solve) the problem:
  1. Disable SSL-Renegotiation
  2. Invest into SSL Accelerator Either of these countermeasures can be circumventing by modifying THC-SSL-DOS. A better solution is desireable. Somebody should fix this.

Facebook Rumours

New Life for Same Old Tune

A long-running rumor has resurfaced. For years, the social media scammers have been chattering about Facebook's plans to begin charging its users. They want to trick you into taking actions that will actually give them access to your personal Facebook data! Rest assured, this is one rumor that simply will not come true. Mr. Zuckerberg has said so himself many times.

Facebook has built its entire model on advertising revenue, and for that model to remain successful, it needs to maintain its enormous user base.

For more on Facebook scams and other flim-flams, read this CNN Tech article.

5 Essential Characteristics of Cloud Computing

The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing

To employ new technologies effectively, such as cloud computing, organizations must understand what exactly they're getting. With this in mind, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has issued its 16th and final version of The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing.

"When agencies or companies use this definition, they have a tool to determine the extent to which the information technology implementations they are considering meet the cloud characteristics and models," says Peter Mell, a NIST computer scientist who coauthored the report, also known as Special Publication 800-145.

"This is important because by adopting an authentic cloud, they are more likely to reap the promised benefits of cloud: cost savings, energy savings, rapid deployment and customer empowerment," Mell says. "And, matching an implementation to the cloud definition can assist in evaluating the security properties of the cloud."

The special publication includes the five essential characteristics of cloud computing:

On-demand self-service: A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service provider.

Broad network access: Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, laptops and workstations).

Resource pooling: The provider's computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. There is a sense of location independence in that the customer generally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided resources but may be able to specify location at a higher level of abstraction (e.g., country, state or datacenter). Examples of resources include storage, processing, memory and network bandwidth.

Rapid elasticity: Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time.

Measured service: Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled and reported, providing transparency for the provider and consumer.

SP 800-145 also defines four deployment models - private, community, public and hybrid - that together categorize ways to deliver cloud services.

NIST says the definitions are intended to serve as a means for broad comparisons of cloud services and deployment strategies, and to provide a baseline for discussion from what is cloud computing to how to best use cloud computing.
