Ανακαλύφθηκε νέο κενό ασφαλείας στα Windows 7

Η Microsoft ανακοίνωσε πριν από λίγες ώρες ότι εντοπίστηκε ένα σημαντικό κενό ασφαλείας στα Windows 7 και τα Windows Server 2008 R2, το οποίο αφορά αποκλειστικά και μόνο τις εκδόσεις 64-bit. Η ατέλεια στο λειτουργικό δίνει τη δυνατότητα σε hackers να εκτελέσουν απομακρυσμένο κώδικα, εκμεταλλευόμενοι ένα κενό που υπάρχει στον Canonical Display Driver (cdd.dll).

Σύμφωνα με τη Microsoft, μέχρι στιγμής δεν έχει αναφερθεί κάποιο περιστατικό που να υποδηλώνει ότι η ατέλεια αυτή έχει χρησιμοποιηθεί από επιτηδείους. Οι τεχνικοί της εταιρείας υποστηρίζουν ότι έτσι κι αλλιώς είναι πολύ δύσκολο να αξιοποιηθεί αυτή η τρύπα, λόγω του memory randomization. Όσοι, πάντως, θέλουν να είναι 100% βέβαιοι ότι δε θα πέσουν θύμα επίθεσης, θα πρέπει να απενεργοποιήσουν το Windows Aero Theme, τουλάχιστον μέχρι να κυκλοφορήσει το διορθωτικό patch από τη Microsoft.

Περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες για το εν λόγω κενό ασφαλείας μπορείτε να βρείτε σε αυτή τη σελίδα.

Copyright enforcement firm ACS:Law hit by embarrassing email leak

It's the weekend and Broadband Genie is enjoying a well-deserved break, but this story was too good to wait until Monday. ACS:Law, the infamous law firm which has been sending out dubious letters threatening to take people to court for file sharing, has had a massive database of its emails leaked onto the web. The ACS:Law web site was taken down by a denial of service (DDoS) attack earlier in the week, an event described by boss Andrew Crossley as "typical rubbish from pirates" . He's likely to have changed his tune now because someone discovered that before the site was restored a backup file containing the emails had been left in an open directory. Inevitably this was downloaded and widely distributed on file sharing networks. The collection includes the incoming and outgoing emails of Andrew Crossley and his employees, complete with attachments, and contains masses of information about how ACS:Law goes about its business and how much money it make...
