Cyber Hackers on course for One Million Malware Apps

Google’s Android mobile operating system is so besieged by cyber hackers’ malicious apps that the malware count is on track to hit the million mark by 2014, a new report from cyber analysts Trend Micro warns.

In contrast, it took a decade for PC malware to hit that number versus just several years for mobile phone malware apps.

The rise in cyber attacks on Google’s Android mobile operating system comes as Android continues to dominate the smartphone market. Android now controls 79.3% of the global smartphone market, up from 69.1% a year ago, according to the latest data from IDC.

The majority of […]

Cyberterrorists Likely to Retaliate if Snowden Is Caught

Hackers and government transparency groups are likely to commit cyber-terrorism attacks if the U.S. ever takes secret information leaker Edward Snowden into custody, retired Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden has warned.

“They may want to come after the U.S. government, but frankly, you know, the dot-mil stuff is about the hardest target in the United States,” the former director of both the CIA and NSA said at a meeting of the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington, D.C, The Guardian reports.

“I’m just trying to illustrate that you’ve got a group of people out there who make demands, whose demands may not be […]

The Cybercrime of Things

Once everything in your house contains a computer, everything in your house can be hacked.

Recent work by security researchers indicates that one of the problems with having a “smart” home is that some day, it might be smart enough to attack you. The essence of the forthcoming “internet of things” is that everything we own, from our refrigerators and egg cartons to our cars and thermostats, will some day be outfitted with internet-connected sensors and control systems, allowing all our possessions, and ultimately all of our civic infrastructure, to communicate with each other and be controlled remotely.

The potential security implications […]

Cyber Attack in the Bathroom: Japanese Toilet Can Be Hacked

As if the idea of your computer or smartphone being hacked wasn’t troubling enough, your own toilet could be the next target of a cyber attack – thanks to a Bluetooth vulnerability with the commode’s Android app.

Increasingly, electronics manufacturers are pushing “always-connected” devices that can be controlled by smartphones via companion applications. Smart TVs, washing machines, air conditioning units, and even light bulbs can be controlled remotely, as long as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth has them tethered to a smartphone. The added convenience comes with added risk, as any device with a live connection could potentially be exploited by a savvy […]

UK and US collaborating on cyber weapons, says Snowden

The US National Security Agency (NSA) and UK intelligence agency GCHQ are collaborating on cyber weapons, the latest documents released by whistleblower Edward Snowden reveal.

GCHQ blames China and Russia for most of cyber attacks against the UK and is working with the NSA to provide each country’s military forces with a cyber warfare capability, according to the Guardian.

This should come as no surprise following the publication of the latest annual report by the UK’s Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) in July that references a more proactive approach.

According to the report, the ISC believes that military cyber “could involve disrupting an […]

FBI Expands Cyber Spying Tools Using Hacker Tactics

The PRISM scandal and Snowden’s revelations about the NSA snooping around in private matters were a little upsetting for the gullible public. But it was just the tip of the iceberg! Big government has tentacles that penetrate deep into the structure of the laity. The cyber spying efforts of the government have gone way overboard.

Recent reports from the Def Con Hacking Conference held in Las Vegas showed that the FBI is light years ahead of both the NSA and PRISM. The bureaucrats sitting in the FBI’s command centers may routinely turn on a microphone in their computers and eavesdrop on […]

Cars now a genuine target for cyber criminals

Cars are now a genuine target for cyber criminals and it is possible for attackers to gain control of a vehicle while it is in motion, with risky consequences. For instance, as Alex Fidgen, director at IT security company MWR InfoSecurity, explains, this could have serious consequences if the brakes were applied at high speed.

This comment was made after Volkswagen allegedly sued the University of Birmingham to stop it from publishing how it had hacked anti-theft systems on luxury cars including Lamborghinis and Porsches.

“Vendors should not try to block security research, they should work together with the researchers to understand […]
