Symantec has discovered a new Linux worm that appears to be engineered to target the “Internet of things”. The worm is capable of attacking a range of small, Internet-enabled devices in addition to traditional computers.

Untersucht wurden 2107 Apps für iOS von 601 Herstellern. Die HP-Tochter bewertet die entsprechenden Android-Anwendungen jedoch als ebenso anfällig. Zahlreiche Apps setzten keine Verschlüsselung ein und schützten die Nutzerdaten nicht angemessen.
Gust MEES's insight:
In May of this year, sophisticated attackers breached a large Internet hosting provider and gained access to internal administrative systems. The attackers appear to have been after customer record information such as usernames, emails, and passwords. While these internal administrative systems had access to customer records, discovery of the attack and certain security implementations mitigated the scope of the breach. Customer passwords were accessible, but these passwords were hashed and salted making mass password cracking difficult. Customer financial information was also accessible, but encrypted. Unfortunately, access to the encryption key cannot be ruled out. While breaches of organizations and mass customer record dumps are posted almost daily, this particular attack was more sophisticated than we have seen in the past.

Two researchers at California Polytechnic San Luis Obispo have created an application for Google Glass that can spy on everything the wearer is looking at, without the knowledge of the user. If you do insist on wearing Google Glass, then please make sure that you have protected your devices using a passcode, and be careful about what apps you install on your devices from unofficial app stores. Chances are that there will be others out there, with more malicious intentions than Mike Lady and Kim Paterson, who will be interested in spying upon what Google Glass wearers are looking at.

Apple has quietly pushed out a security update to iOS, the operating system used by its flagship iPhone and iPad products. ===> A shame then that Mac OS X doesn't yet have a patch... <===
With the pace of innovation of Internet-connected devices, experts are worried security will struggle to catch up.
They are all impressive but "they're all breachable" said Kevin Haley, director of Symantec Security Response, while attending the huge high-tech trade show. "If the object is connected to the Internet, you will find it, and if it has an OS (operating system) you can hack it," he told AFP at the Las Vegas expo.
Haley said the pace of innovation could outstrip the security protecting the devices.
===> "As we start to bring all this new stuff in our houses, we're going have to take some responsibility," he said. <===

Utrecht, le 27 novembre 2013 - Selon une récente enquête de Kaspersky Lab, il existe de fortes probabilités qu’un nombre croissant d’utilisateurs Mac soient la proie de menaces d’Internet. La quantité des logiciels malveillants ciblant les Mac a augmenté de 50% au cours des douze derniers mois. Pourtant, plus d’un tiers (35%) de tous les utilisateurs Mac pensent à tort être protégés contre les menaces numériques.

Macs have never been that popular in business. But if Apple is indeed no longer supporting security updates for older Mac OS X versions, Macs won't have any place left in the enterprise office.

The biometrics hacking team of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) has successfully bypassed the biometric security of Apple's TouchID using easy everyday means. A fingerprint of the phone user, photographed from a glass surface, was enough to create a fake finger that could unlock an iPhone 5s secured with TouchID.
This demonstrates – again – that fingerprint biometrics is unsuitable as access control method and should be avoided.
