Une attaque à grande échelle utilise les browsers pour détourner les routeurs | ICT | eSkills | Awareness

Une attaque à grande échelle utilise les browsers pour détourner les routeurs | ICT | eSkills | Awareness | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Des chercheurs ont découvert un outil d'attaque web qui permet à des pirates de détourner les serveurs DNS des routeurs et de les remplacer par des serveurs voyous.


Des cybercriminels ont développé un outil d'attaque web à grande échelle qui leur permet d’exploiter les vulnérabilités des routeurs et de détourner leurs paramètres DNS quand les utilisateurs visitent des sites web compromis ou sont dirigés vers des publicités malveillantes depuis leurs navigateurs. L’objectif de ces attaques est de remplacer les serveurs DNS configurés sur les routeurs par des serveurs voyous contrôlés par des attaquants.


Ainsi, les pirates peuvent intercepter le trafic, le rediriger vers des sites frauduleux, détourner les requêtes de recherche, injecter des publicités malveillantes sur les pages web et plus encore.

Local IP discovery with HTML5 WebRTC: Security and privacy risk?

Local IP discovery with HTML5 WebRTC: Security and privacy risk? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

With the progression of HTML5 WebRTC, browsers are getting ever closer to making pluginless video conferencing a reality. One feature of WebRTC is the ability to discover the local IP addresses of the browsing machine. Does that put us at an increased risk?

Mozilla Introduces New 'Forget Button' for Firefox | Update!

Mozilla Introduces New 'Forget Button' for Firefox | Update! | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The consumer-facing browser is also getting an oft-requested ‘Forget Button’, which is essentially a retrospective ‘porn mode’ option. Using it allows you to clear between 5 minutes and 24 hours of browser data – history, cookies, log-ins, saved passwords etc. – but it leaves the rest of your stored data and auto-complete history in place. It also closes any browser windows you have open and presents you with a fresh, blank one.

Of course, switching to private browsing is still an option, but now you have an extra conduit to erase some of the recent past without having to mess about under-the-bonnet.

Among other changes to the browser, Nightingale said, is the addition of DuckDuckGo as a standard search option, alongside Google, Yahoo and the rest of the list of providers.

Safari now blocks all but latest version of Flash plugin | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

A little over a month ago, Mozilla has announced that Firefox will be preventing all plug-ins except the current version of Flash from loading automatically, requiring users who explicitly want to use them to start them themselves.

Last week, Apple has decided to do the same with older versions of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in.

Browser sind noch unsicherer als Java | CyberSecurity | Digital CitiZEN | eSkills | ICT | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Einer Auswertung von Kaspersky zufolge haben Browser Java nun endgültig als Einfallstor für Internetattacken abgelöst. Fast zwei Drittel aller Angriffe nehmen inzwischen die zum Surfen erforderlichen Programme ins Visier. Nutzern empfiehlt das Unternehmen dringend, Updates jeweils umgehend einzuspielen.

Browser sind eine für die Webnutzung unverzichtbare Komponente, die zudem immer mächtiger und vielseitiger werden – aber dadurch entwickeln sie sich auch zum bevorzugten Angriffsziel von Kriminellen, wie aus einer jetzt veröffentlichten Auswertung von Kaspersky Lab hervorgeht. Demnach hat die Anzahl der über das Internet durchgeführten Angriffe zwischen Januar und März im Vergleich zum selben Zeitraum des Vorjahres um 69 Prozent zugenommen. Kaspersky wertet dafür die Attacken auf seine Anwender aus, aufgrund der großen Verbreitung der Produkte kann diese Zahl schon als Tendenz gesehen werden – auch wenn sie nicht repräsentativ für die Internetnutzerschaft in Deutschland sein sollte. 64 Prozent dieser Angriffe erfolgten über Schwachstellen im Browser.

'Man in the browser' and other cybercriminals target the unaware

'Man in the browser' and other cybercriminals target the unaware | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From system infiltrators to social engineers, scammers seek access to advisory firms' weakest points of entry.


“The man in the browser is the most sophisticated type of threat because it's the hardest to detect from an organizational point of view,” Mr. Schouwenberg said. Everything looks the same from the victim's end, both in the machine and the browser. And from the organization's point of view, the machine will look the same.”


To fight such threats, Mr. Schouwenberg recommended that firms make sure all software is up to date and to install monthly Microsoft patches routinely. He also warned that attackers are going after browser plug-ins such as Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader and Oracle's Java, and that advisory firms may want to provide software to clients that provides routine security checks.
