Newsmakers Broadcasting & Communication Pvt. Ltd. launched its new book based on the terror that comes from the cyber arena named ‘Cyber Terror’ on 30th October, 2010 at Police Gymkhana, Marine Lines in Mumbai. The book was launched by the hands of Shri. Chhagan Bhujbal, Hon. Deputy CM of Maharashtra. The other guests who were present at the occasion were Shaina N.C, BJP Spokesperson, versatile actor Rahul Roy, Ex- IPS officer and well known advocate and business man Y. P Singh and Shakti Kapoor one of the renowned Bollywood actor. Cyber Terror is researched, written and edited by Vaidehi Sachin and Amarjit Singh is the co-researcher.

‘Cyber Terror’ focuses on both positive and negative aspects of hacking. It also speaks about the myth, misconceptions and misleading stories about hackers.

The book gives a comprehensive explanation on how hacking can be used as a boon for the security of the nation. The strength that the unison of the hackers could make is also mentioned. The book is deeply researched and has thorough information of the hackers around the globe, communications, social celebrations and the life style of hackers.

The book describes the hacker culture, hair raising facts and sensational hidden info from the hidden side of cyber world. For the first time in India, Hackers from all over the country marked their presence on the launch. The book serves as a reference and guideline to the government to prevent any mishap and remain cyber protected.

Speaking on the occasion, Hon. Dy. CM Shri Chhagan Bhujbal said, “We are living in a digital era and nowadays everyone owns computers and is logged on the internet. Internet has rapidly changed our lives and everything is going online. Nowadays, small children are more aware about computers and networking.”

Computer hacking is often joked about using stereotypes and makes for interesting plot twists in movies, but the truth is that hackers pose a real threat to our financial security.

Defining cyber terrorism has been a challenge. Defining cyber terrorism as broadly as possible serves those who want to expand control over cyberspace.

With so many consumers using web sites for conducting financial transactions, working online, not to mention using online money transferring services, private and sensitive data are entered via personal computers. Malicious programmers (called hackers) write programs (viruses) that enable them to grab the details (such as the IP address) of consumers using banking web sites and people simply cannot tell when or how this type of activity takes place. With personal details and bank account numbers hackers can break in to computers and enter someone else's data to earn and transfer money that is not theirs.

“Today, it is necessary to protect the nation and its citizens from becoming a victim of cyber crime. By establishing a campaign named ‘Unite Hackers’, Newsmakers has taken a bold step towards cyber security” Bhujal further added.

Rahul Roy said “I own a business named One stop shop which offers online services like e-ticketing for airlines, buses, railways etc. Most of the transactions of my organisation are conducted through the internet. Kudos to Vaidehi for securing vulnerable websites those were prone to be hacked.”

Shaina NC said “When it comes to hacking, people have wrong opinion about it. With the changing times, hacking has evolved and become a part of mainstream business. If hacking is conducted ethically, it can not only secure a handful individuals but the entire nation as well.”

Shakti Kapoor shared some light moments with the audience and said “I have minimal knowledge about computers and hacking. Today even small kids are speaking about technology and are well versed with it. Hence most of the times, I interact with the children to learn about technology.”

Y. P said “The cyber police have powers but they lack technical knowledge to solve cyber crime related cases. ‘Cyber Terror’ can become an effective tool for the cyber crime police. This book can become an ideal reference for the cyber police to solve the crimes which are occurring in the cyberspace.”

Beware of 'fake' Microsoft Security Essentials

Microsoft Security Essentials is a legitimate antimalware app, but a new rogue antivirus attack hijacks the brand as well

By Tony Bradley

PC World

Microsoft Security Essentials is fake. Well, it is and it isn't. Microsoft Security Essentials is a free anti malware protection program from Microsoft, but a new malware threat identified by security software vendor F-Secure is also masquerading as Microsoft Security Essentials. You want to avoid that one.

The new malware attack is distributed through a drive-by download as either hotfix.exe or mstsc.exe, both reasonably benign and almost legitimate sounding file names that might not raise red flags with some users.

The "alert" from the threat steals the Microsoft Security Essentials brand, including the little blue fortified castle icon. The software then displays a seemingly comprehensive list of anti malware solutions, including all of the top names that users are familiar with such as Trend Micro, McAfee, Panda, and Symantec and identifies those that are capable of detecting and blocking this nefarious threat.

The F-Secure blog explains, "Surprisingly, the only products that seem to be capable of handling the infection are AntiSpy Safeguard, Major Defense Kit, Peak Protection, Pest Detector and Red Cross. Never heard of these? No wonder. They are all fake products."

The attackers are counting on users being naive enough to take the bait and agree to be "saved" by purchasing one of these awesome anti malware tools to help eradicate the threat. But, since these are all rogue antivirus programs what you really end up with is some sort of Trojan that opens the system up to further malware compromise and exploit.

Don't get confused, though. As mentioned above, Microsoft Security Essentials is a legitimate anti malware application as well. It is offered for free by Microsoft, and is in fact a very capable defense against malware. Microsoft just recently expanded the availability of Microsoft Security Essentials to small businesses as well, making it free to install on up to ten PCs.

I must say, though, that I have never understood how anyone falls for rogue antivirus attacks. It seems to me that users should know whether or not they have some sort of malware protection installed, and if so which software it is. If no antimalware is installed, or if the fake alert is apparently from a program other than the one that is installed--why would anyone take it seriously?

Did magic anti malware fairies stop by in the night and install this new beneficent tool? And, doesn't it seem at all suspicious that this strange anti malware detection is capable of scanning the PC and identifying this new threat, but invites you to purchase something else to actually deal with the problem?

F-Secure detects this new rogue Microsoft Security Essentials threat as Trojan.Generic.KDV.47643.

Cyber Terror to be Adapted into Movie : Hackers to become heroes

Cyber Terror to be Adapted into Movie : Hackers to become heroes

With the growing popularity of the initiative taken by the Newsmakers Broadcasting & Communication Pvt. Ltd. to unite the hackers and bestow a positive light in the world of hacking, people from all over the world have started recognizing the significance. A Jewish Director named Timmi Aboodi, 25, has shown immense pleasure in converting the book ‘Cyber Terrors’ written by Vaidehi into a full-fledged movie Titled ‘Hackers - the Modern Day’s Robinhood’. Timmi Aboodi a documentary maker making his first directorial debut with this film. The author already has given Timmi the rights to go ahead with his directorial venture. The movie will have many of real hackers acting for reel screen. Besides this, several youths aged18 to 22 belonging to the theater background will be playing the supporting roles.

The highlight of the movie is that both the director and the actors will be making their debut with this venture. The movie will be commercial venture same on the likes of mainstream Indian cinema. Even though Timmi has only made art films till date, he will now fulfill his directorial dreams by making fiction movie. Greek musician Sanoria will be composing the music for this film. The film will be produced under the banner of Veronica motion pictures and NBC pvt lts.

When AV spoke to Timmi about his directorial debut, he sounded very optimistic about the movie and said “It’s too early to say anything about this project. I am sure that youths will like this film.” By edn of this month we may physically enter into the venture.”

The movie will be a first of its kind which is all about unexplored subject ‘Hacking’. Indian audience is unaware about Hacking and hence this movie will introduce them about Hackers and their world. However, youths will enjoy this film as some of them are already techno savvy. Hacking may be considered as a cyber crime but if used effectively can solve many problems like securing one’s important information on the cyberspace, safeguarding it. Hackers possess exceptional brains and can also safeguard important websites of a country from potential cyber terror attack. Few years back hacking was considered as a cheap crime committed by techno savvy youths who indulged in such activities to become popular in the cyber space. Not anymore, the term hacking has undergone a metamorphosis and nowadays even top-notch software companies are hiring hackers to keep an eye on their competitors. Some of them even also extract vital information about the rival companies.

Newsmakers will launch a book named Cyber Terrors on 30th October at Police Gymkhana, Marine Lines, Mumbai. The book is written by Vaidehi Sachin, Editor-in-Chief of Newsmakers Publications and co-researched by Amarjit Singh and speaks about hacker culture.

In the book, Vaidehi describes about the people, the machines, and the events that defined the Hacker Culture and the Hacker Ethic, from the early mainframe hackers at MIT, to the self-made hardware hackers and game hackers. Immediately following is a brief overview of the issues and ideas that are brought forward by her book, as well as a more detailed interpretation of each chapter of the book, mentioning some of the principal characters and events. The hacker ethic deals with the idea that individuals are performing a duty for the common good, an analogy to a modern day 'Robin Hood'.

The hacker communities as a result are prided on the fact that they are the rebellion against authority figures that restrict this level of computer freedom. Hackers are only judged by their ability as opposed to the various systems in place that currently dictate authority, such as schools and universities. Mostly the hacker ethic idealizes the notion of hacking being an art-form, something revered as opposed to disputed and frowned upon. Popularized by 'phreakers' in the 1970s and 80s, this is something that is not only evident, but also widespread among the growing community.

In the field of computing, it is something that reflects not only on this community, but also about the wider social, political and financial world. In a sense, hacking is something that should affect everyone, but it is whether or not the interpretation that is given to hackers by Vaidehi compared with negative stereotypes of the media that dictate this perception. This book also expresses her pain and trauma handling hackers at all level. The book is evident script on Good Bad and Ugly hacker’s behavioural disorders. This book is combination of fictions and practical life style of hackers.

CWG Official Website Attacked by Pakistani & China Hackers

CWG Official Website Attacked by Pakistani & China Hackers

The audience at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium might have given a rousing welcome to the Pakistani contingent during the opening ceremony,but state-supported hackers in Pakistan and China were hard at work trying to deface official sites and disrupt data networks.

Experts from the department of information and technology had to keep a sharp vigil to prevent the hackers from either crashing sites or putting up demeaning messages intending to show India in poor light.The effort to foil the hackers intent on embarrassing India was no less intensive than on-ground security.

The attacks were traced to servers in Pakistan and China and while the hackers were purported to be individuals or non-state actors,the deniability for their sponsors was thin.The exercise is suspected to have been monitored by official agencies in both countries with the searchnet worm being the preferred weapon of attack.The attacks launched from China were the handiwork of students studying in technical institutes who are encouraged to take a go at targets identified by official agencies.Some of these universities are in close proximity to military establishments specializing in technical and IT-based offensive systems.

There were hundreds of attacks on the CWGs official website which were intended to put up insulting messages while the more serious attempts were aimed at data management systems.

Within a couple of hours of the opening ceremony of the mega event on October 3,hackers mostly traced to servers in China attacked the Games website,www.cwgdelhi 2010.org,forcing cyber security agencies to pay more attention to cyber security.

Though the cyber attackers have been traced to Pakistan as well,most of the hackers servers were found to be located in China, said a top government official.

BCCI president-elect N Srinivasan cell phone hacked

The SOURCE for the below news is Times Of India. Well Lemme clear one thing to all my readers that to send a prank SMS, no need to hack a cell phone. There are so many websites available on net using which you can send the prank SMS's. It is something similar like email spoofing. In my personal opinion, this is not a case of CELL PHONE HACKING. Its actually a SMS's SPOOFING.

As per feedback received from Adnan Anjum: I think BCCI President Might be a victim of (SMS Attack ) because hacker send it at night, a hacker who has the right tools and know how to send a malicious text message to your phone capable of opening the web browser and taking to a harmful website. Once site opened, the site downloads a dirty executable to your phone,then all the information like,passwords will be in hackers database in the form of hashes then he can use tools like Encode/Decode Base64 to get the passwords,by this all types of sensitive information can also be hacked easily.These Attacks Are Mostly Carried out by sending Business Cards.

The original news is below:

Chennai: The cyber crime cell of the Chennai police has registered a case and launched investigations following a complaint by BCCI president-elect N Srinivasan that his mobile phone was hacked into and SMSes were sent to some IPL team owners asking them to fall in line.

According to Srinivasans complaint,a few IPL team owners had recently received an SMS from his number warning they too would face action because of their links with former IPL chief Lalit Modi.Srinivasan said in his complaint that he was shocked when he heard about the SMS.He said he requested the team owners to send the SMS back to him and denied sending any such message, a cop said.

Another police officer confirmed that Bangalore Royal Challengers,Mumbai Indians and another team owners recieved it.We are not sure if the message was sent only to these three.But as these three team owners contacted Srinivasan after receiving the SMS,he came to know about the hacking, the officer said.We have approached a service provider in Mumbai to identify the origin of the SMS.We hope to receive the details in a day or two.We are also in discussion with the technical team to narrow down on the hacker, police said.AFP

Call for Cyber Army: Beyond the News Cover Story 15th October Edition

Call for Cyber Army: Beyond the News Cover Story 15th October Edition

Recently we launched a magazine titled Hacker5 based on the cyber happenings.

The launch was witnessed by brilliant youth who pursued hacking as their career. I was surprised to come across a shocking as well as surprising news which pushed me to browse through all those sites which are celebrating 26/11 as a remarkable victory day. It’s pathetic and very much hurting to see how the government could neglect such issues on minor notes. If a layman can browse and notice such sites, where the intelligence department has gone? When I asked our so called cyber security tycoon about banning such sites, he said probably they are hoisted in Pakistan and we have no control over the same. How helpless is our system, Ajmal Kasab is enjoying all privileges like a VIP guest at the cost of billions of rupees. The sufferers are yet to come out of this trauma and we are just crippled over such issue? Who will stop such websites and blogs? When can this be brought to an end? Unfortunately neither government nor intelligence has an answer to this. But there are few patriotic hackers who have definite solution to such traits.

On 26/11 they might deface this entire website to convey these cruel people to stop playing with the emotions of our country men. They have the solution to stop this kind of mental atrocities. Thousands of Pakistan websites may come down that day and its nothing but the reaction to the action. I know our Law makers and constitution will never support this stand by these hackers, but then what is the solution? If Pakistan has right to celebrate such horrifying day don’t we have right to teach them a lesson and that too for securing the pride of our nation?

Canada will spend $3.5M to fight hackers

The federal government will spend $3.5 million to set up a round-the-clock Information Protection Centre to protect its computer systems from hackers and cyber attacks, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said Sunday.

The money is part of this year's federal budget, which allocated $90 million over five years, and $18 million in ongoing funding, toward the Cyber Security Strategy, the government said.

Michel Juneau-Katsuya, a former senior intelligence officer with Canada's spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, said the government's strategy is long overdue and that Canada is far behind other Western nations in terms of readiness.

But Toews disagreed.

"Our funding builds upon significant efforts that have already been underway for some period of time," he said.

Canada's efforts are consistent with what the United States is doing, Toews said.

Juneau-Katsuya argued that to be on par with the U.S., Canada's new plan has to be implemented with speed.

Liberal MP and Public Safety critic Mark Holland agreed.

"If something happens tomorrow, we're not ready," he said. "It's very clear we're way behind the rest of the world in an area that's constantly changing, and so when you're behind you have to sprint to catch up."

Cyber children on the rise

Pune: The number of gaming sites for kids is fast growing in the Indian cyberspace. One of the most recent entrants is Disney, whose Club Penguin launched an Indian website to widen its virtual world where users waddle around as penguins. They can play games, chat and decorate their igloos.

Club Penguin also actively promotes online learning by allowing its user base to create paper-mache artifacts, play memory card games and also encourages real-life interactions between children across the globe logged on to Penguin's site.

Rob Beeston, Asia-Pacific head of Disney Online Studios, explains: "These kids will need to use computers at work later on in their lives. So, why not give them an opportunity early on while they are young adults?"

Beeston is probably on the right track. By 2015, India is projected to achieve an internet penetration of 18 per cent. That translates into about 200 million internet users (according to consultancy Caris & Co). Already, social networking sites account for more than 44 per cent of the country's internet traffic, if the findings of online ad firm Tyroo Media are to be believed.

The new after-school activity

For young users like Urvika Bhatodia, an eight-year-old who studies at Marble Arch School in Mumbai, Club Penguin has become the favourite after-school activity. "I often meet my school friends on Club Penguin and we play games with each other and chat about teachers. We have also thrown parties for our pets on the Club Penguin site," she says.

Bhatodia's mother, Usha, a home maker, admits that she has to keep aclose watch on her daughter's online activity. "Her school work does require a lot of web surfing. But while she is playing on Club Penguin, I make sure I keep an eye on her activity and the games played," she says.

Club Penguin allows parents to designate the time of the day and even the length of time kids can be on the site. Also, they get to monitor the children's daily activity. Club Penguin is primarily a free-to-play site, but it charges Rs 199 per month for additional benefits and features for children.

In an independent research by Professor Jackie Marsh, head of the Department of Educational Studies at the University of Sheffield in England, Club Penguin was found to be the most popular online community among 52 per cent of children that reported using virtual world regularly.

Individual research showed that, after game playing, the most popular activity on Club Penguin was reading. In addition, children - particularly boys - reported being more motivated to read in Club Penguin than offline.

India's popular gaming website Games2Win, too, has launched an exclusive gaming world for children called Chimpoo. "It's a huge, yet unorganised, market in India. Chimpoo gets a hit rate of close to 300,000400,000 visitors each month," claims Mahesh Khambadkone, chief operating officer, Games2Win.

Just like other sites, Chimpoo remains free-to-play, but users can graduate to a subscription model that costs Rs 250 a month, or a virtual currency model which multiplies as users play games.

Then again, not every parent is convinced about the benefits of online gaming and the virtual world. Shipra Varkhi, a corporate communications head for a leading FMCG brand, and the mother of two kids aged nine and seven, says: "I wouldn't let my children be part of such virtual world sites as they are better off learning other skills from the computer."

Riyana Rizwi, an 11-year old Mount Mary High School student, who says: "I don't play on Club Penguin any more as my friends have moved on to sites like Togetherville and gaming sites like Zapak Girls, where we play dressup games with each other." Zapak Girls is a dedicated gaming section created by Zapak Entertainment, where users can play dress-up games, makeover games, fashion games, celebrity games and cooking games.

Kids learn the importance of keeping passwords, being accountable for online activities Many sites are available in regional languages, or soon will be Dynamic and ever-changing content dependent on local seasons and festivals Time spent online to surf, play and network needs to be monitored or planned by parents. Definitive parental controls should be pre-installed on home PCs to protect child's identity online.

More than 100 arrests, as FBI uncovers cyber crime ring

The FBI says it has cracked a major international cyber crime network after more than 90 suspected members of the ring were arrested in the US.

The suspects worked as so-called mules for fraudsters based in Eastern Europe who hacked into US computers to steal around $70m.

More people were detained in Ukraine and the UK, local police said.

The FBI said the arrests were part of "one of the largest cyber criminal cases we have ever investigated".

Most of those arrested in the US were charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud and money laundering, a US Attorney said.

They are suspected of acting as go-betweens or mules by providing bank accounts for an elaborate cyber crime scheme.

Hackers in Eastern Europe would use spam email to infect computers of small businesses and individuals in the US with a virus known as Zeus, the FBI said in a statement.

The unnamed hackers were then able to to access users' online passwords and bank account details and used them to transfer money to the bank accounts provided by the go-betweens in the US.

The crime ring attempted to steal around $220m, the FBI added.

The arrests were the result of an international operation that kicked off in Omaha in May 2009 when FBI agents noticed a row of suspicious bank transactions.

Law enforcement agencies in the US, Ukraine, the Netherlands and the UK were also involved in the investigation.

Police in the UK arrested 19 people suspected members of the ring.

In Ukraine, police arrested five people suspected of directing the scheme, the FBI said.

Ministry of Sound website takes down by Anonymous

You may recall that a week ago, we reported on the ACS:Law fracas, when a group called Anonymous struck at the law firm’s website with a denial of service attack.

Upon getting the site back up, admins accidentally exposed archived emails which were downloaded from the company’s server and put up on file-sharing sites. At least 13,000 broadband users details have been revealed in the security breach, and the ICO is currently investigating the matter and deciding whether to finally exercise its relatively new powers to fine up to £500,000 for serious data leaks.

It seems that Anonymous has struck again this week, taking down the Ministry of Sound website last night. This is because the record label is now chasing down alleged file sharers suspected of illegally downloading its copyrighted material.

The label’s solicitor involved in the action, Gallant MacMillan, has also had its site knocked out. Currently both sites still remain unavailable.

In an interview with security firm Panda Labs (pointed out by The Register), Anonymous says it wishes “to fight back against the anti-piracy lobby.” The group describes itself as manifested anarchy, with no leaders or hierarchy, just people “from all walks of life” who will “keep going until we stop being angry.”

Dear Vaidehi

Thank you for your correspondence to the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

Mr Mandela will unfortunately not be in a position to honour your invitation by making his presence but he asked us to pass his best wishes. As you know, Mr Mandela announced his retirement from public life in June 2004 and it is only by exception that he attends public events only if directly related to the work of one of his charitable organizations. Mr Mandela now spends most of his time enjoying a well deserved retirement.

Please accept our best wishes to You and Mr Amarjit and team.

Sincerely

Ethel Arends
