Symantec updates DLP endpoint, antispam gateway!!!!

Symantec Tuesday announced an updated version of its antispam-antivirus gateway, as well as its plans to link its systems management and data-loss-prevention products more closely to simplify deployments for customers using both technologies.



The next version of the Symantec DLP endpoint will have embedded in it Symantec's Altiris desktop-management agent, says Steve Roop, senior director of marketing for the vendor's DLP solutions.



In addition, theDLP 9.0 endpoint agent will add content-monitoring for Outlook and Lotus sessions (which today require specialized plug-ins) and standard HTTP and S-HTTP sessions. DLP 9.0 also will monitor printing and electronic faxing.



DLP 9.0 is expected to ship in the first quarter of 2009: pricing has not been announced.


Symantec also is upgrading its BrightMail Gateway antispam-antivirus appliance with a spam-defense feature that reduces throughput so that spam gets backed up in the spammer's mail system. BrightMail Gateway 8.0 is designed to deter spammers from sending spam to a corporate IP address protected in this manner, says Art Gilliland, Symantec's vice president of product management.

Biggest Malware Lure? Brad Pitt!!!

Movie star Brad Pitt has shoved Paris Hilton off the top of a list neither will have coveted being on. A fan entering Pitt's name in a search engine now has a startling one in five chance of finding a malware-hosting site instead, says McAfee.


Pitt is top of the fake website malware league, just ahead of a collection of pop and film stars that reads (in descending order) Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Heidi Montag, Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Cameron Diaz, George Clooney, and Angelina Jolie.


Hilton no longer even makes the fake web top ten, but can perhaps take some solace from her continued popularity with spammers.


If you're never heard of some of these people then it's a fair bet that you are not the intended target of a technique that has been for some years one of the commonest ways to infect a PC. But still it persists, driven by an apparently insatiable appetite among some Internet users for computer screensavers, wallpaper, ring tones and star pictures, at whatever risk to themselves.


"Cybercriminals employ numerous methods, yet one of the simplest but most effective way is to trick consumers into infecting themselves by capitalizing on Americans' interest in celebrity gossip," commented McAfee's Jeff Green. "Tapping into current events, pop culture or commonly browsed sites is an easy way to achieve this."

Well, I do actually worry (about mobile viruses)!!!!

In response to Kaspersky's statement that they were concerned about mobile malware, I provided a flurry of reasons why mobile malware epidemics don't occur today. This may not be the case in the near future, however, as changes in the handset space is making the creation of malware far more attractive.




Consumers lusting over the iPhone are driving changes in the handset space that will make the platforms far more attractive for malware authors. Over the next few years, we will see nearly every phone with high quality displays and effective browsers, running operating systems that can support third party applications. Customers will want to use these features; financial institutions, such as Bank of America, are responding by adding mobile features to their websites. Handsets that support these features are more expensive, and will end up being in use far longer, accumulating bugs along the way. And finally, the malware landscape is becoming increasingly competitive on the PC side, which will force malware authors to find fertile ground. The only piece missing is an effective monetization strategy for mobile malware (say that three times fast) that would make the labor profitable.


My thoughts about mobile malware are very similar to those about mac malware. It isn't a problem now, but if current trends continue it will be a problem in the future. It is not a question of if, but when, and those of us who are responsible for keeping our systems and handsets clean have to be prepared.

'Ransomware' Virus-Writer Identified!!!

The infamous Gpcode 'ransomware' virus that hit computers in July was the work of a single person who is known to the authorities, a source close to the hunt for the attacker has told Techworld.


The individual is believed to be a Russian national, and has been in contact with at least one anti-malware company, Kaspersky Lab, in an attempt to sell a tool that could be used to decrypt victims' files.


Initially skeptical, the company was able to verify that the individual was the author of the latest Gpcode attack -- and probably earlier attacks in 2006 and 2007 -- using a variety of forensic evidence, not least that he was able to provide a tool containing the RC4 key able to decrypt the work of the malware on a single PC.


The 128-bit RC4 keys, used to encrypt the user's data, are unique for every attack. The part that had stymied researchers was that this key had, in turn, been encrypted using an effectively unbreakable 1024-bit RSA public key, generated in tandem with the virus author's private key. But the tool did at least prove that the individual had access to the private 'master' key and must therefore be genuine.


Kaspersky Lab set about locating the man by resolving the proxied IP addresses used to communicate with the world to their real addresses. The proxied addresses turned out to be zombie PCs in countries such as the US, which pointed to the fact that GPcode's author had almost certainly used compromised PCs from a single botnet to get Gpcode on to victim's machines.
