WordPress plugins are highly vulnerable, according to a recent report.
Why (And How) Teachers Should Start Learning and Teaching Cyber-Security . What should get be taught and learned more in the 21st Century while using ICT? In the 21st Century, Education has a BIG responsibility to adapt to the very quick change in the world and to teach the students the knowledge they need and which are required to fulfill the market’s needs! The market’s needs are ALSO to employ people with the basics of Cyber-Security knowledge as a modern company needs to protect its online reputation and a data loss could be lethal to them, their ruin eventually! SO, the new employees is the students coming out of school, College, High school, Universities; ALL of them need to have the basic knowledge of Cyber-Security to be competitive in a working market where there is more and more unemployment worldwide… ===> A company would take advantage of a new employee who as already the necessary knowledge of Cyber-Security as the company doesn’t need to train him, which saves it a lot of money! <===

Vasco has announced that its Mydigipass authentication system has been incorporated into the WordPress platform. Launched earlier this year, Mydigipass is a token that allows a user to login to multiple web applications via one single sign-in, with the user logging into the web portal either directly on the Mydigipass website, or via a button on an approved website via the Mydigipass button, entering a user name, password and one-time password (OTP) generated by the token.

A few days ago, hundreds of websites, based on WordPress 3.2.1, were compromised. The attacker uploaded an HTML page to the standard Uploads folder and that page redirects the user to the Phoenix Exploit Kit. Its logs show that users from at least four hundred compromised sites were redirected to Phoenix exploit pages.

[Beginning Text from www.informationweek.com] Cybercriminals are looking for low-hanging fruit. Their targets are companies with poor defenses, a lack of security skills, and vulnerable end users. They’re looking for unlocked doors and open windows. The path of least resistance will always be the one most beaten down by bad guys. There are many other reasons a cybercriminal might target your company and your employees, but the message is the same: ===> No business, no individual is immune. <=== Whether you are Sony or a mom-and-pop shop, you may be a target today. How you respond to that threat could make the difference between being safe and being breached. [End Text from www.informationweek.com] In clear text this means that any private computer could be a target!

WordPress installations received a security upgrade on Friday to patch a number of vulnerabilities. The update to version 3.3.2, as well as 3.4 Beta 3, fixes issues in file uploaders Plupload and SWFUpload, and Adobe Flash embedding tool SWFObject. The new version also comes with fixes for several privilege escalation and cross-site scripting bugs. Cyber criminals heavily use vulnerable WordPress sites to spread malware, and they may have been utilized in the recent Flashback trojan attacks on Mac OS X systems.

WordPress.org is being targeted once again, and although this time there isn't much sneaky sophistication, the infection is still prevalent enough for Internet users to be wary. Spam appears to be the driver of these campaigns. Various websites have already been identified to be redirecting to Blackhole exploit kit. Compromised websites would render any of the following pages upon visit...
