1. Biggest Spammers Shut Down (Temporarily)
------------------------------------------------------------
The amount of spam being sent worldwide dropped noticeably about a =20
week ago after McColo, a northern California-based hosting provider =20
identified as hosting spamming organizations, was cut off by its =20
Internet providers. It is estimated that McColo hosted the machines =20
responsible for 75 percent of spam sent worldwide. The relief is =20
likely to be temporary, as operations that send the unsolicited =20
commercial email seek out other avenues to help them spread their wares.
McColo's connection to spamming mainly comes from its hosting several =20=
of the biggest botnets: groups of hacked computers (also called =20
'zombies') that are tied to a single command center. Aside from =20
hosting bot, spam and malware activity, McColo reportedly also hosted =20=
illegal content, such as child pornography.
The decisions to pull the plugs on the hosting companies were made by =20=
their service providers, not by security researchers or law =20
enforcement. The effort may not be enough to completely eradicate =20
spammers and other cyber criminals. In fact, many operations that are =20=
shut down by one service provider often resurface a short time later =20
at another location on the Internet.

If you're interested in the activities attributed to McColo, the =20
Washington Post which first released the story has put together a flow =20=

2. Emerging Cyber Threats for 2009
----------------------------------------------
Internet-surfing cell phones were one of five top =93emerging cyber =20
threats=94 named in a new report by Georgia Tech=92s Information =
Security =20
Center. The number of people who own iPhones or other smart phones is =20=
growing rapidly, and users are beginning to store and send personal =20
information from the devices, making them a potentially rich target =20
for cyber-attackers. "As these devices have richer functionality, =20
you=92re going to be able to install applications, and we=92re going to =20=
run into the same kind of problems that laptops and desktops have," =20
said Mustaque Ahamad, director of the center, in an interview.
Another top threat cited in the report was malware, software designed =20=
to harm or take over a computer. Malware is usually disguised as =20
something a user would want to open, like an e-mail attachment or a =20
link on a Web site. These days cyber-criminals are using Facebook and =20=
other social networks to distribute malware. "The recipient clicks on =20=
the link supposedly sent by his/her friend, and then sees a prompt to =20=
install the latest version of Flash Player in order to watch the video =20=
clip," the report says. "The user clicks to install the update, but =20
actually installs a piece of malware on the machine." The report =20
expects a tenfold increase in the detection of malware in 2008 =20
compared to 2007.
The good news: Microsoft operating system security has improved and =20
auto-update features help both corporate and consumer end users stay =20
up to date with patches. Many software vendors including Firefox, =20
Adobe and Apple, are also shipping auto-patch/update capability with =20
each new software release.
If you're interested in reading the report, I have obtained a copy =20
(PDF) and posted it online here:

-------------------------------------
3. Patches for New Browsers
-------------------------------------
Both Google Chrome and Apple Safari for Windows have had security =20
problems. Google patched Chrome last week Tuesday to prevent attackers =20=
from stealing files from PCs running the open-source browser.

<http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/111408-google-patches-chrome-file-s=
tealing.html?code=3Dnlsecuritynewsal170179=20
>
On Friday, Apple added anti-phishing protection to Safari, the last =20
major browser to receive the feature that blocks known identity-=20
stealing sites. The company also patched 11 security bugs in the =20
program, the bulk of them specific to the Microsoft Windows version.

Comment from Ed Skoudis of SANS: "It is probably a good idea to not =20
rely on a browser for your main web surfing until it has aged a bit, =20
giving the vendor time to work out the most egregious security flaws. =20=
How much time? My gut says about a year is needed before a browser =20
becomes reasonably (but not perfectly) scrubbed. Until then, have fun =20=
playing with these shiny new toys on an experimental box."
IS&T also suggests that MIT users do not run browser applications on =20
browsers that are not yet tested by the IS&T Software Release Team, =20
which checks for compatibility with the other software MIT uses before =20=
it recommends or fully supports them. To learn what software IS&T =20
recommends and supports see:
