Mirai is spreading from Windows this time ...





Mirai is spreading from Windows this time ...A talented cyber attacker has developed an advanced Windows botnet to spread the famous Mirai malware. Developing markets, which are investing heavily in interna - tional technology, especially in Turkey,Mirai is spreading from Windows this time ...The Windows-based spreader is richer and more robust than the original Mirai code base, but the components, techniques, and functionality of the new version are based on years. This emitter's Mirai malware is limited in its ability to spread: Mirai boots can be sent from a compromised Windows computer to a vulnerable Linux IoT (Internet of Things) via a brute-force attack if a remote telnet connection is involved.Despite this limitation, it is clear that the code is the result of a more experienced developer, probably someone who is beginning to take on new interests with Mirai. Some of the tips left behind, such as the fact that the code contained in the software was compiled in a Chinese system linked to servers in Taiwan, and the code-signing certificates stolen from Chinese companies were abused, highlight the possibility that the developer is a Chinese-speaking one.According to Kaspersky Lab telemetry data, about 500 individual systems were attacked by the Windows bot in 2017, and these attempts were detected and blocked.Based on the geographical positioning of the IP addresses in the second phase of the attack, the most vulnerable countries have invested heavily in the connected technologies and are developing in India, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, China, Iran, Brazil, Morocco, Turkey, Malawi, Tunisia, Russia, Moldova, Venezuela, the Philippines, Colombia, Romania, Peru, Egypt and Bangladesh.Kaspersky Lab is working with the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), hosting service providers and network operators to respond to this growing threat to the Internet infrastructure. Rapid and successful disinfection of these servers is minimizing the risk and disadvantages of growing IOT based botnets. Kaspersky Lab's experiences and relationships with CERTs and providers around the world are helping to speed those efforts.

How to Resolve a Siber Attack

How to Resolve a Siber Attack A Russian company; He wanted Kaspersky Lab to investigate an incident that was about to be stolen from an enterprise account for $ 130,000. The company's representatives were suspicious of the malware behind this incident. The suspects were confirmed the first days of the investigation. Although this story goes on in Russia, such cyber crimes vary little from country to country. The cybercriminals sent viruses to the company's computers by sending an e-mail containing a malicious attachment that gave the government a message from the tax office. To provide access to the accounting computer within the corporate network, users have used a modified version of a legitimate program. A malware program was used to steal the money. The software included the banking Trojan Carberp items, whose source code was publicly available. Cybercriminals made a mistake when configuring their C & C servers and allowed Kaspersky Lab experts to disc...

The Hologram Produced The World's Thinnest Screen

The Hologram Produced The World's Thinnest Screen Even though we are still far from producing amazing real holograms, and screen hologram RMIT researchers from. Beijing Institute of technology by producing the world's thinnest, has opened a new page on the hologram. The holographic screen is only 25 Nm of a material this thin can do 3D coding. Holograms with lasers of substances in different phases combine to create the illusion of depth with the tuning. Normally, the necessary environment must be at least a few mm. But researchers have found that thin-film topological insulator (insulator) on the surface of a material they call inceltti 100 times more controlled and precise with a laser. “We have a new generation made of a material; while acting as topological insulator thin films on the surface of metal, the inner portion acts like an insulator,” says Project Leader Project Leader Min Gu.”This material lasers when we fire it, depending on the intensity of the...
