Smart light bulbs could give away your password secrets

Smart light bulbs could give away your password secrets | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

A trio of researchers split between Italy and the UK have recently published a paper about cryptographic insecurities they found in a widely-known smart light bulb.

The researchers seem to have chosen their target device, the TP-Link Tapo L530E, on the basis that it is “currently [the] best seller on Amazon Italy,” so we don’t know how other smart bulbs stack up, but their report has plenty to teach us anyway.

Linux web servers targeted in new ransomware scam | CyberSecurity | CryptoWare | Malware

Linux web servers targeted in new ransomware scam | CyberSecurity | CryptoWare | Malware | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
A new ransomware campaign dubbed Linux.Encoder.1 is targeting web servers using the Linux operating system and is demanding a payment of one bitcoin, or $380, from its victims for the release of the captured files.

Researchers at the anti-virus firm Dr. Web said the cybercriminals appear to target network administrator computers because these hold the web server software that they are interested in controlling. It was also noted that in some cases the attackers used the CMS Magneto vulnerability to attack the web servers.

The Dr. Web staff did not have a firm idea how prevalent these attacks have been, but they “presume that at least tens of users have already fallen victim to this trojan.” An email by SCMagazine.com to Dr. Web to confirm the number of infected systems has not yet been returned.

Website files encrypted by Linux.Encoder.1 ransomware? There is now a free fix | CyberSecurity

Researchers have exploited a flaw in the encryption procedure used by the Linux.Encoder.1 - the first ransomware targeting the Linux platform - to develop a decryption tool for victims.


On Thursday, Russian anti-virus company Dr. Web first disclosed the existence of Linux.Encoder.1, a strain of ransomware similar to other notorious ransomware families such as CryptoWall and TorLocker, but targeting computers running Linux rather than Windows.

Evidence of infections by Linux.Encoder.1 are scattered across the net, because many websites appear to be revealing their impacted state in search engine results.
