Mozilla предлагает новые возможности для повышения конфиденциальности в Интернете – Компьютерный мир
Январь 24, 2011 По Оставить комментарий
Mozilla, the developer of the Firefox browser, is working a feature that will allow users to opt-out of online behavioral advertising.
The goal is to give users “a deeper understanding of and control over personal information online,” Mozilla’s head of privacy said in a blog posted on Sunday.
The feature will allow users to configure their Firefox browser to tell websites and advertisers that they would like to opt-out of any advertising based on their behavior, Alex Fowler [cq] wrote in his blog post. The user’s preference is communicated to websites and third party ad servers using a new “Do Not Track HTTP header”, which is sent with every click or page view in Firefox.
The feature wouldn’t block advertising altogether, only personalized ads. If the user has enabled the feature, the advertiser would have to exchange the personalized ad for a standard ad, according to a diagram included in the blog post.
Mozilla believes the header-based approach will be better for the Web in the long run, compared to cookies or blacklists. Using a header is less complex, more persistent than cookie-based solutions and at the same time simple to locate and use. It doesn’t rely on a user’s finding and loading lists of ad networks and advertisers to work, Fowler wrote.

How Stuxnet works: what the forensic evidence reveals – Телеграф
Январь 22, 2011 По Оставить комментарий
Payload
The Stuxnet payload, the part of the attack that makes and disguises alterations to nuclear centrifuges, sets a new standard for precision targeting of malicious software.
Once it is inside a Windows computer the payload checks to see whether it is connected to a Siemens Step7 industrial control system. It then checks whether that system controls at least 33 “frequency converter drives” made by one of two manufacturers (one of which is Iranian), which control the speed of centrifuges.
Before it siezes power the payload performs a final test on whether the centrifuges are programmed to spin at the very high speeds used in uranium enrichment.
The damaging speed increases Stuxnet then orders are only in force for for short periods, weeks apart. It also disguises its modifications by switching off warning systems.
В резюме, the Stuxnet payload is a highly sophisticated, precise sabateur, that only a team of advanced programmers could have created, with access to expensive and restricted equipment.
“There are a lot of skills needed to write Stuxnet,” explains Tom Parker. “Whoever did this needed to know [ОС Windows] programming, Шаг 7, they needed platform process knowledge, the ability to reverse engineer a number of file formats, kernel rootkit development and exploit development.”

Is 2011 the Year of a Digital Privacy Revolution?
Январь 22, 2011 По Оставить комментарий
You’re being watched when you’re online. If that makes you uneasy, Вы не одиноки. Online privacy—especially in the social-media sphere—is becoming an increasingly contentious issue, but it’s one that largely is left to companies like Google and Facebook to decide. As sites and service-providers struggle to balance the interests of their users against the interests of their business, the question emerges: Is it time for the government to step up and enforce stricter regulation?
Experts say 2011 might just be the year where digital privacy will come to the forefront in Washington. Например, the Boucher-Stearns bill, drafted by Rick Boucher, a Democrat from Virginia, and Cliff Stearns, a Republican from Florida, would require all websites to inform users how they collect and use personally identifiable information, like phone numbers or addresses. В прошлом месяце, the Federal Trade Commission proposed “Не отслеживают” technology that would be added to websites in order to allow users to “opt out,” making their actions on the site unrecorded.
It’s unclear so far which websites would be required to include the technology, or if the button would be built directly into the browser. But according to some, even if do-not-track and opt-out policies were to be adopted, the United States would still have a relatively laissez-faire attitude toward online privacy compared to much of the rest of the developed world.

ОС Android бомба: Неужели Google незаконно поднять авторским правом код? | ZDNet

Last summer, Oracle announced it had filed a complaint against Google, Inc. for patent and copyright infringement. In the lawsuit, Oracle claims that Google “knowingly, directly and repeatedly infringed Oracle’s Java-related intellectual property” in the development and distribution of the Android operating system.
Сегодня, in a bombshell post on his FOSS Patents blog, Florian Mueller, an expert on intellectual property law and open source code, reports that “evidence is mounting that different components of the Android mobile operating system may indeed violate copyrights of Sun Microsystems, a company Oracle acquired a year ago.”
Oracle provided one example in its original complaint showing line-by-line copying of its code. Mueller’s new work looks at a completely different set of files that were not previously disclosed. He found examples of at least six files in one directory that show a “pattern of direct copying.” Those files are part of Froyo (Android 2.2) and Gingerbread (Android 2.3). В дополнение, he found a significant number of files in the Android codebase that are clearly marked as belonging to Sun:
I have identified 37 files marked as “PROPRIETARY/CONFIDENTIAL” by Sun and a copyright notice file that says: “DO NOT DISTRIBUTE!” Those files appear to relate to the Mobile Media API of the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit. Unless Google obtained a license to that code (which is unlikely given the content and tone of those warnings), this constitutes another breach. [Emphasis in original]

Щебетать Goo.gl Worm Помещает Поддельные антивирусная защита | Новости & Мнение | PCMag.com

Another worm is making the rounds on Twitter via the goo.gl URL shortening service, often directing users to fake anti-virus software.
Affected users might notice mysterious tweets that they did not write showing up on their feeds, many of which include goo.gl links that end with “m28sx.html.”
“Although most affected Twitter users appear to be oblivious to what has occured, a few have noticed the messages, and suspected a security breach,” Sophos’s Graham Cluley wrote in a blog post.
If you click on these links, you are taken to a Web site that suggests your computer has been infected by a virus. The site encourages you to download what it says is anti-virus protection but is actually malicious code.
Del Harvey, head of Twitter’s trust and safety efforts, tweeted yesterday that the company was “working to remove the malware links and reset passwords on compromised accounts.”
