La firme de Cupertino n'est visiblement pas au repos ces derniers temps, c’est une liste d’identifiants d’iPhone qui vient d’être mise en ligne par un groupe de hackers.
Ces pirates informatiques, dont le groupe semble dériver de la bande de LulzSec qui a été démantelée il y a peu par le FBI, dit avoir obtenu ces données en piratant l’ordinateur d’un agent du FBI. Ce méfait leur a permis de disposer d’une liste de près de 12 millions d’identifiants d’iPhone. Dabs le fichier original obtenu par les pirates, on retrouverait aussi les noms, les numéros de téléphones, les adresses postales et autres données personnelles d’utilisateurs d’iPhone.

S’il est illusoire de penser qu’il existe une protection optimale contre le vol de données, il est au moins possible d’améliorer l’ordinaire. Dropbox a ainsi mis en place un système d’authentification en deux étapes, plutôt que le simple combo identifiant/mot de passe trop facile à craquer.

The malware - dubbed Crisis or Morcut - was not spotted in the wild, but received by the security researcher from VirusTotal in the form of a JAR file, the analysis of which revealed that it contained a .class file named WebEnhancer, and two installers - one for Windows and the other for OS X.
Symantec's researchers have continued analyzing the file, and have recently discovered that the Windows version of the threat uses three methods to spread itself: to a removable disk drive, to a VMware virtual machine, and to a Windows Mobile device.

Summary: A well-known security researcher urges iPhone users to distrust the legitimacy of text messages at first sight.
A security research who goes by the handle "pod2g" has found a serious security vulnerability in the way iOS devices handle SMS messages, warning that this could be exploited by online criminals. The flaw, which the researcher describes as "severe," exists since the beginning of the implementation of SMS in the iPhone, and is still there in iOS 6 beta 4.
According to a post on pod2g's blog, an attacker can exploit this flaw to send an SMS that seems to come from the receiver's bank asking for sensitive information or luring them to a maliciously rigged web site. In another scenario, an attacker could send a spoofed text message to an iPhone user to use as false evidence; or send spoofed messages to manipulate iPhone users into thinking they are receving legitimate SMS messages.

One-quarter of the 30,156 websites tested in the second quarter by Zscaler’s Zulu service, which tests the security of websites, were malicious, according to Zscaler’s second quarter 2012 State of the Web report.
The State of the Web report found that users are slow to update browser plug-ins and attackers know it, as witnessed by the Flashback Trojan, which infected over 650,000 Macs leveraging a Java vulnerability. However, the situation is improving. In the second quarter, 35% of installed Adobe Shockwave plug-ins were outdated, down from 52% in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Adobe Acrobat was the worst in terms of updating, with close to 62% of plug-ins being outdated in the second quarter, followed by Adobe Shockwave with 38%, Microsoft Outlook with 5.7%, and Adobe Flash with 4.3%.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) reportedly allowed a hacker to take over a journalist's iCloud account by deceiving the company's tech support team. What affect will this have on the future of Apple's success?

Crisis malware lets attackers install without an administrator password and intercept email, IM, and other communications.
Mac users, beware new malware targeting Apple OS X systems that's disguised as an Adobe Flash Player installer.
While not widespread, the malware's ability to intercept email and IM, among other features, demonstrates that malicious applications written to target Macs can be just as powerful as malware that comes gunning for PCs.

Actualité Apple : OS X : désactiver JAVA en attente d'un correctif de sécurité...
JAVA ne se traine pas une formidable réputation en matière de sécurité, surtout sur nos Mac où Apple a souvent fait preuve d'une formidable lenteur pour mettre à jour la machine virtuelle JAVA. Désormais c'est Oracle qui préside aux destinées de la brique logicielle sur nos machines pommées.
En attendant, si vous n'en avez pas un besoin immédiat et absolu, vous pouvez simplement désactiver JAVA pour régler la question. Pour cela, direction le dossier Utilitaires de votre dossier Applications. Lancez Préférences JAVA et, dans l'onglet gGénéral, désactivez Java SE 7 (oui, l'image montre un système avec JAVA 6). Et voilà. Pour réactiver, procédure inverse.

Eine Schwachstelle im Apple-Betriebssystem iOS könnte dazu führen, dass Kurznachrichten an die falsche Nummer geschickt werden.
Der Blogger Pod2g will Hinweise für eine Sicherheitslücke in iOS ausgemacht haben, die den Versand von SMS-Nachrichten auf dem iPhone betrifft. So wäre es möglich, Kurznachrichten im PDU-Format zu verfassen, deren Zieladresse sich über einen editierbaren Abschnitt namens PDU (Protocol Description Unit) ändern ließe. Antwortet der Nutzer auf eine solche SMS, dann könnte die Antwort nicht an den ehemaligen Absender, sondern an ein fremdes Smartphone geschickt werden.
