Michaels stores: Possible data 'attack'

"The country's largest crafts chain may be the latest retailer hit by a security breach. "Michaels said Saturday that it learned recently of "possible fraudulent activity" on some of its customers' payment cards, suggesting there may have been a breach.   "CEO Chuck Rubin said the company has not confirmed a breach, but wanted to alert customers. "We are concerned there may have been a data security attack on Michaels that may have affected our customers' payment card information and we are taking aggressive action to determine the nature and scope of the issue," Rubin said in a statement."   [url=http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/25/news/companies/michaels-security-breach/index.html?hpt=hp_t2]Full Article[/url]   It appears as though the long string of recent breaches continues....

Millions of accounts compromised in Snapchat hack

[b]"(CNN)[/b] -- Hackers appear to have posted account info for 4.6 million users of quickie social-sharing app Snapchat, making usernames and at least partial phone numbers available for download."   "The hack was seemingly intended to urge Snapchat to tighten its security measures. The anonymous hackers said they used an exploit created by recent changes to the app, which lets users share photos or short videos that disappear after a few seconds."   "In the statement, the hackers said they blurred the last two digits of the phone numbers they posted but were still considering whether to post more with the full number visible."   [url=http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/01/tech/social-media/snapchat-hack/index.html?hpt=hp_t2]Full Article[/url]   I do not know if this is related to the security hole initially reported to the Webroot Community in [url=https://community.webroot.com/t5/Security-Industry-News/Attackers-could-match-phone-numbers-to-Snapchat-accounts/td-p/752

Snowden-inspired crypto-email service Lavaboom launches

[h2]German service pays tribute to Lavabit[/h2]By [url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/Author/2468]Phil Muncaster[/url], 16 Apr 2014  Lavaboom, a German-based and supposedly NSA-proof [url=http://www.lavaboom.com/]email service[/url], will go into private beta this week. Its mission is to spread the Edward Snowden gospel by making encrypted email accessible to all.   Although it has been referred to in various parts of the interwebs as an heir to Lavabit, the now-defunct encrypted email service used by Snowden, the new service's name is a tribute to its predecessor and nothing more.  Lavaboom is a free service with a 500MB mailbox limit made secure by three main principles: end-to-end encryption; “zero-knowledge privacy”; and “three-way authentication”.   The firm said its aim is to make encryption as “simple as sending regular email” so anyone can use it.   Three-way authentication is offered for Lavaboom’s “more security conscious users” as f

The MPAA wants the legal authority to infect your computer

[img]https://d1qy7qyune0vt1.cloudfront.net/webroot-en/attachment/3692iCC41B1204C67BCF3.jpg[/img]We all know about the FBI Ransomware that has been going around the web lately, right?  Well, we all know that is fake. But what if that ransomware was legally allowed to be placed on your computer because the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) suspects you of downloading pirated films?  That is exactly what they are asking the US Congress to allow them to do, all in the name of protecting their property.  The idea, coming from what can only be assumed to be a lucid dream in a George Orwellian world similar to 1984, would allow the MPAA to infect your computer with rootkits, spyware, and ransomware, holding your files hostage until you turn yourself in to the proper authorities, all while under the guise of protection.  Beyond the infection, an even more concerning aspect is that the MPAA wants to infect suspected computer users even if evidence is minimal or in

Beware: Free Antivirus Isn’t Really Free Anymore

Free antivirus applications aren’t what they used to be. Free antivirus companies are now bundling adware, spyware, toolbars, and other junk to make a quick buck.   At one point, free antivirus was just advertising, pushing users to upgrade to the paid products. Now, free antivirus companies are making money through advertising, tracking, and junkware installations.   [url=http://www.howtogeek.com/218675/beware-free-antivirus-isnt-really-free-anymore/]Full Article[/url]

Cat needs a TV...

Alright Webroot Community, I need your help.   I'm buying a new TV and I have to admit, it's been awhile since I've shopped for one. Jim even made fun of me when I said, "Since when do TVs have 3D?!?"     So that being said, I'd love your advice. What are some "must have" features?  What should I stay away from?    [b]What I know I want: [/b] LED - Flat screen Moderately priced 1080p vertical resolution 120 Hz refresh rate   [b]What I know I DON'T need:[/b] 3D (seriously...3D?)   [b]What I don't know if I need:[/b] "Smart TV" - I do love the idea of internet cable vs regular cable though...

Watch out for Counterfeit iOS and Android apps

Yesterday, PCWorld put out an [url=http://bit.ly/19xhNqp]article[/url] on a recent finding by software firm Arxan, who discovered that cybercriminals are reverse-engineering many of the most popular paid apps from both the Google Play and Apple App Store.   "Looking at a total of 230 apps - the top 100 paid apps and top 15 free apps for Android and iOS - Arxan found that 100 percent of the top paid apps on Android and 56 percent on iOS were being impersonated in a compromised form on grey markets." Arxan's analysis also found that, when it comes to free apps, 73% of the top 15 Android (and 53% of the top 15 iOS) apps existed in obscure third-party stores, as well as half of 20 popular financial apps for Android.   Obviously, these numbers stem mostly from countries outside of the US and UK, as thid-party stores are far less prevalent here in the states and in the UK. Nevertheless, while most users may never come across these bogus ads, this story further shows the signi

Criminals Use 3D-printed Skimming Devices on ATMs

Airline Spam Used to Distribute Kuluoz Malware

In case you come across a suspicious email in your inbox purporting to come from an airline company, act with caution. The messages might be part of a cybercriminal campaign. According to Trend Micro, the notifications appear to come from companies such as American Airlines, US Airways, Delta Airlines or British Airways. They usually inform recipients that an electronic ticket has been purchased on their behalf. The file that’s attached to the emails is not an e-ticket, but a variant of the Kuluoz malware. This particular threat is designed to download and execute other pieces of malware, such as ZeroAccess or fake antiviruses. The spam messages are distributed with the aid of the Cutwail botnet. Experts believe that the cybercriminals might have started relying exclusively on fake airline emails because they know that a lot of people are traveling during this period.   [url=http://news.softpedia.com/news/Airline-Spam-Used-to-Distribute-Kuluoz-Malware-410638.shtml]Full Topic[/u

Cyber Resilient Best Practices

Those of us who are able to work remotely in response to the COVID-19 outbreak are now taking more of our IT security into our own hands. But beyond staying aware of the latest coronavirus-inspired scams, what we can do to look after our own online security in these uncertain times? What follows is our time-tested list of cybersecurity best practices that, in a perfect world, we’d all adhere to all the time. Nothing flashy, nothing dramatic. Just a list of habits cybersecurity experts agree could help make us all a little more cyber resilient. Use antivirus software While it sounds like a given from a company that makes it, antivirus software—we prefer the all-encompassing term anti-malware software, since viruses are only one strain of malicious software and you’re likely to be targeted by others—is an essential step in securing your devices. All your devices. While most anti-malware software was once list-based, meaning it relied on a semi-static list of known threats living o
