On pourrait croire que depuis les scandales liés à Superfish et Edellroot, les fabricants d’ordinateurs ont renforcé les contrôles sur les logiciels préinstallés vendus avec leurs machines. Mais si l’on croit les chercheurs des équipes de Duo Security, la lutte contre les bloatwares n’est pas prête de se terminer.

Rappelons que les constructeurs proposent effet tous leurs machines avec des logiciels préinstallés, généralement qualifiés de bloatware ou crapware. Ces utilitaires à l’utilité parfois relative permettent généralement de contrôler l’état de la machine ou proposent certains services annexes à l’utilisateur.

L’étude menée par Duo Security porte sur une dizaine de machines achetées dans le commerce auprès de différents constructeurs : Lenovo, Dell, HP ainsi que Acer et Asus. Toutes sont livrées avec des logiciels préinstallés, que les chercheurs ont analysés afin de déterminer lesquels pouvaient présenter des failles de sécurité.

La conclusion est sans appel « Tous les constructeurs livraient leurs machines avec un logiciel présentant au moins une faille de sécurité permettant à une attaque de type man in the middle d’exécuter du code sur la machine avec un haut niveau de privilège » expliquent ainsi les chercheurs dans un post de blog.

La CNPD prévient d’une fuite de données d’une grande envergure au départ des jouets VTech, en raison d’une faille de sécurité. 9.204 profils sont touchés pour le Grand-Duché. Mode d’emploi pour les parents concernés.

La protection des données et, à l’inverse, les fuites possibles en cas de lacune des installations informatiques peuvent prendre des proportions importantes. La Commission nationale de protection des données (CNPD) indique en effet mercredi soir, dans un communiqué commun avec Securitymadein.lu, qu’une importante fuite de données a été détectée auprès de la société VTech.

The fact that a company called Hacking Team was hacked, combined with the disclosure of their shady clientele, has several diminished the credibility of previous denials the company has made about their engaging in this kind of profiteering. It also validates criticisms that groups like the EFF and Reporters Without Borders have thrown at Hacking Team – basically, that they provide agents around the globe with cyberweapons used for the suppression of democracy and the violation of human rights.

Hacking Team offers their clients a “Remote Control System” (RCS) that combines a variety of spyware technologies into one comprehensive surveillance suite. According to The Citizen Lab, this RCS product essentially allows users to do things like turn the microphones and cameras of their targets’ mobile phones on/off, monitor and record communications, and copy files and passwords.

While Hacking Team sells exclusively to governments, companies are designing products and services to give them similar capabilities.

Is life really going to be easier when you can’t use your toothbrush because it’s lost its Internet connection?

My problems started with an all-too-common occurrence: My Wi-Fi router burned out and I had to replace it. This happens regularly enough that I keep another router as backup. I turned it on, then connected it to my cable modem and Sonos bridge for wireless music streaming. I was feeling smug — I used the same SSID and password as the previous one, figuring that all the devices would automatically connect to it.

Ah, if life in the IoT age were only so simple.

Des chercheurs de Check Point ont identifié de nouvelles vulnérabilités dans les dispositifs Android. Certifi-gate permet à des hackers de prendre le contrôle d'un appareil.

A joint operation by the FBI and the law enforcement agencies of 19 other countries has led to the takedown of the notorious discussion forum for criminal hackers, Darkode.me. It was the most central English-speaking hub for the sale of credit card numbers, criminal hacking hardware, and malware written for commercial sale. Originally called Darkode.com, the forum had shifted several times in response to pressure from authorities and the “white hat” hacking community, adding layers upon layers of security.

It was a highly encrypted, invite-only forum hosted by true paranoiacs, and featuring a tiered access system designed to keep any unavoidable infiltrators away from the most sensitive discussions. With an air of true satisfaction, the FBI announcement makes the implication clear as day: if we can get Darkode, we can get anybody.

What is a smart city?

A smart city is as an urban area where sensors have been implemented across public infrastructure in order to monitor traffic and usage of public services, such as lighting and parking spaces.

The contextual analysis of the real-time information gained from the sensors can help governments and companies in many sectors to make cities more sustainable and efficient, as well as being better able to cater to the needs of citizens living in the smart city.

Around 16 million mobile devices worldwide was hit by malware as at the end of 2014, while attacks on communications networks rose during the year, according to new research by Alcatel-Lucent.

.

Less than 1 percent of infections came from iPhone and Blackberry smartphones. Although, new vulnerabilities, such as the 'Find My iPhone' exploit discovered last year, have emerged in the past 12 months, showing that they are not immune from malware threats.
