New malware aims at music from P2P networks
31 days ago

Source: www.afterdawn.com --- 31 days ago
Security vendor Kapersky Labs has made note of a new type of trojan that is aimed at Windows users who download music through popular P2P Networks such as LimeWire. The malware inserts malicious links within ASF files, a container that is usually used for audio and video streams but can also hold images or links to websites. "The possibility of this has been known for a little while but this is the first time we've seen it done," said David Emm, senior technology consultant for security vendor Kaspersky Lab. When a user plays an infected file, Internet Explorer is launched and a site is loaded telling users they need to download a codec to play the file. The "codec" of course, is a trojan that then installs a proxy program on your PC. Just like with other proxy programs, hackers can then route traffic through the infected computer, creating a shield to cover their tracks. Making the malware even more vicious is that once your computer is infected, it looks for any MP3 file it can find and will transcode it to WMA while wrapping it in an ASF container adding the malicious links and starting the cycle again. "Users downloading from P2P Networks need to exercise caution anyway, but should also be sensitive to pop-ups appearing upon playing a downloaded video or audio stream," Secure Computing, another firm said. The trojan goes by different names, such as "Troj_Medpinch.a," "Trojan.ASF.Hijacker.gen" or "Worm.Win32.GetCodec.a." depen ...

The desirable global scalability of Grid systems has steered the research towards the employment of the peer-to-peer (P2P) paradigm for the development of new resource discovery systems. As Grid systems mature, the requirements for such a mechanism have grown from simply locating the desired service to compose more than one service to achieve a goal. In Semantic Grid, resource discovery systems should also be able to automatically construct any desired service if it is not already present in the system, by using other, already existing services. In this paper, we present a novel system for the automatic discovery and composition of services, based on the P2P paradigm, having in mind (but not limited to) a Grid environment for the application. The paper improves composition and discovery by exploiting a novel network partitioning scheme for the decoupling of services that belong to different domains and an ant-inspired algorithmthat places co-used services in neighbouring peers.

said by ComputerWorld : Wagner Resource Corp. recently learned the hard way what Pfizer Inc. and many other companies have similarly discovered in the past: installing peer-to-peer file-sharing software on corporate computers is a bad idea. The Alexandria, Va.-based investment firm last week had to notify about 2,000 of its clients that their names, Social Security numbers and birth dates had potentially been exposed on the LimeWire P2P network, according to a story published Wednesday by The Washington Post. Among the individuals whose personal data was exposed in the Wagner compromise was Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, according to the Post.Source/full article: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=cybercrime_and_hacking&articleId=9108418 -- Smokey's Security Forums http://www.smokey-services.eu/ Smokey's Security Weblog http://smokeys.wordpress.com/ ASAP Site Member http://asap.maddoktor2.com/ ...
