SYDNEY & AUCKLAND – 12 March 2010 – BitDefender® today has released an emergency update to protect users against a newly-discovered vulnerability in versions 6 and 7 of Internet Explorer®. Microsoft® has detailed the attack scenarios in security advisor #981374, announcing that a patch is being made in order to mitigate the vulnerability.

Users running versions 6 and 7 of Internet Explorer can become infected by simply visiting a specially crafted web page that uses a highly obfuscated JavaScript code to create a use-after-free error, such as a pointer being accessed after the deletion of an object.

Since Internet Explorer® 8 is not vulnerable to the attack, the next logical step would be to upgrade immediately. However, many custom-made applications in the corporate environment are strongly interconnected with IE 6 or IE 7 and might not work as expected on Internet Explorer 8.

Anatomy of the attack

Initially, the user is lured into visiting a specially crafted web link advertised either via spam messages or from a post on a forum or social network. The respective webpage contains JavaScript code obfuscated using the escape function. In order to bypass detection from various antivirus products, the script calls a secondary JavaScript that replaces a variable with the unescape string.

The decrypted result is actually the malicious payload which will trigger a heap spray attack and will write the malicious code into the browser’s User Data area, making it persistent: every time the browser starts, the malicious code is executed without any subsequent intervention (drive-by download), which will result in the automatic download of a file called either notes.exe or svohost.exe (detected by BitDefender as Gen:Trojan.Heur.PT.cqW@aeUw@pbb).

This approach is similar to the one described in CVE-2010-0249 that has been used in targeted attacks against 34 major corporations including Google™ and Adobe™.

Mitigating the risks

BitDefender is currently detecting the exploit and blocking the malicious code before inflicting any damage to the computer. Moreover, all BitDefender customers have been proactively protected against the infected binaries the exploit is trying to install on the local machine.

In order to stay safe, BitDefender recommends that you download, install and update a complete antimalware suite with antivirus, antispam, antiphishing and firewall protection and to manifest extra caution when prompted to open files from unfamiliar locations.

The weakest part of any business computer system is almost always the human being using it — something cyber criminals know only too well.

Melbourne, 12 March 2010 – Social engineering is extremely pervasive and frequently effective…

• Security experts easily convinced workers to reveal their passwords in exchange for a free pen.
• Over half the computer users questioned in a recent AVG survey had received phishing emails.

Cyber criminals are often portrayed as technical geniuses plying their trade through the use of deviously complex computer code. While there is some truth to this, gaining access to a computer can be as simple as fooling someone into a revealing a password. This tactic of exploiting the “human aspect” of computer use is known as “social engineering” and is widely recognised as one of the most effective techniques used by cyber criminals.

“Human beings are often the weakest link in the security chain,” warns the US government advice site Stay Safe Online. “Criminals and con artists know this and exploit it. Learn how to spot the tricks they use.”

It’s Easy to be Fooled

Things to look out for include such simple tactics as phoning a random extension and tricking whoever answers into revealing their network password by asking seemingly-innocuous questions. “If an attacker is not able to gather enough information from one source, he or she may contact another source within the same organisation and rely on the information from the first source to add to his or her credibility,” warns US government security agency US-CERT.

A fraudster used this technique to make calls to the Barclays Bank in the UK, eventually convincing a call centre worker to issue a credit card in the chairman’s name. Armed with the credit card and personal details about the chairman, the conman then went to a Barclays branch and withdrew £10,000 of the banking executive’s money. Ouch!
An example of how easily people can be tricked by social engineering was revealed by the organisers of the InfoSecurity Europe conference. Experts convinced 90 percent of workers stopped at Waterloo Station in London to reveal their passwords in exchange for a free pen. Some more suspicious workers refused at first, but eventually revealed enough information for the experts to accurately guess their password.

Kevin Mitnick, one of the most notorious hackers of all time, has admitted that social engineering was a fundamental part of his approach. “When the average person conjures up the picture of a computer hacker, what usually comes to mind is the uncomplimentary image of a lonely, introverted nerd whose best friend is his computer and who has difficulty carrying on a conversation, except by instant messaging,” Mitnick explains in his book The Art of Deception. “The social engineer, who often has hacker skills, also has people skills at the opposite end of the spectrum — well-developed abilities to use and manipulate people that allow him to talk his way into getting information in ways you would never have believed possible.”

Beware the Phishers

But social engineering doesn’t have to be done in person or over the phone. One of the most popular social engineering techniques is phishing, which is when cyber criminals bombard computer users with emails purporting to be from banks or other trusted entities where valuable information is protected by passwords.

Recipients are encouraged to respond to the mail by clicking a seemingly-legitimate link and entering their login credentials. “An attacker may send email that appears to come from a reputable credit card company or financial institution and that requests account information, often suggesting that there is a problem,” explains advice on the US-CERT web site. “When users respond with the requested information, attackers can use it to gain access to the accounts.”

Recent research conducted by AVG revealed that around 55 percent of the 250 users surveyed had received phishing emails. The survey particularly looked at how increased use of social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace were contributing to the growth of phishing and other security threats.

Other interesting results included:

• 21% accept contact from members they don’t recognise
• 52% let friends access social networks on their machine
• 64% click on links offered by community members
• 26% share files within social networks
• 20% have experienced identity theft
• 47% have been victims of malware infections

The emergence of social networking sites has led to a blending of programming-type hacking techniques with social engineering, a threat acknowledged by AVG back in 2007.

“The anti-virus industry has been in a transition period for the past two to three years as malware has morphed from simple viruses to complex malicious web site hacks that combine exploits and social engineering to scam unsuspecting users of their data,” said Lloyd Borrett, Marketing Manager, AVG AU/NZ).

Education is Key

When it comes to protecting against social engineering attacks, technologies such as those provided by AVG’s Internet Security software have an important part to play, but experts agree that educating staff is fundamental.

“An educated workforce is the main line of defence against online threats in business,” is the advice from the UK government-backed Get Safe Online campaign.

US-CERT is more specific in its guidance: “Be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls, visits, or email messages from individuals asking about employees or other internal information. If an unknown individual claims to be from a legitimate organisation, try to verify his or her identity directly with the company.”
The best strategy for businesses is to instil in their staff the notion that handing over any information to someone whose motives are suspect or unknown is not a good idea. This “paranoid” attitude should be brought home to new hires from day one; new employees are the most susceptible to social engineering techniques, according to Kevin Mitnick. “New employees are a ripe target for attackers. They don’t know many of the people yet, they don’t know the procedures or the dos and don’ts of the company. And, in the name of making a good first impression, they’re eager to show how cooperative and quick to respond they can be,” he warns.

Of course, it always makes sense to back up education with protection, so businesses should also ensure they have up-to-date security software in place. AVG’s Anti-Virus and Internet Security products include AVG LinkScanner®, a technology that can quickly and accurately determine whether or not a web page is hosting a phishing attack.

Criminals will always be able to find the chinks in any company’s computer security armour but, by paying attention to the people as well as the computers, businesses can make it much harder for the cyber criminals to break through.

Germany and China Round out the Top Three Countries with Web Servers serving malware 

Melbourne, 11 March 2010 – AVG (AU/NZ), the distributor for Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific of the world’s most popular free anti-virus software, today unveiled the results of an AVG Technologies’ research study which shows that — contrary to popular opinion — most malicious web sites are hosted on US servers and not in other countries like China.

The AVG research study is based on the analysis of threats reported during the last 6 months from AVG’s 110 million worldwide users of its AVG LinkScanner® web security product. The research indicates an increase in malware-serving web sites targeting end users, which typically focus on stealing online banking credentials, credit card information, personal identities and passwords to social sites.

The detection and analysis of exploits was based on AVG’s unique crowd-sourced methods for analysing web content for malicious or dangerous intent as reported by AVG’s vast network of LinkScanner installations worldwide. AVG’s research shows that malicious code is not just an issue with outlaw servers located in countries with weak laws and lax enforcement. Monitoring active web servers serving exploits around the world indicates that 44 percent of the corrupted servers are hosted in the United States, followed by Germany and China at just 5 percent each. Many of these malware-serving web sites are legitimate sites compromised by hackers to serve exploits on their behalf. In total, exploitive servers were found in nearly 4,600 locations throughout the USA.

It is important to note that this research makes no statement about who owns or is directing the efforts of these servers — for those criminals and/or criminal networks could be anywhere in the world — and they are.

“The results of this study shatter the myth that malicious code is primarily hosted in countries where e-crime laws are less developed,” said Karel Obluk, Chief Technology Officer, AVG Technologies. “Our research shows that malicious content is much more likely to show up on web servers in the U.S. than one in Asia or Eastern Europe. This makes perfect sense since the USA is a primary target market for the criminals and has rich and mature Internet infrastructure making the threats both highly accessible and cheap to host. What is most striking is the clear rise in the number of malicious servers in the last six months. Today’s hacking techniques are highly evasive so the average user cannot tell if a website is serving malware or not. A web security product is needed.”

Obluk continued, “Even more important to note is that, on average during this six month period, about 50 percent of the domains hosted on these servers were online and hosting threats only one day or less. This transient nature makes them very hard to find and add to traditional reputation-based protection systems in time to be helpful to users.”

“As a preventative measure, users should look for web security protection when going online,” said Lloyd Borrett, Marketing Manager, AVG (AU/NZ). “Today’s bad guys are smarter and create threats that are more sophisticated, hiding in legitimate web sites that are sometimes poisoned for less than a day. This makes a real-time solution like AVG LinkScanner absolutely critical to protect against web based threats.”

AVG LinkScanner is free and is included as a part of all AVG Anti-Virus and Internet Security products. AVG LinkScanner can be used also as a free stand-alone product delivering extra protection alongside other brands of antivirus and Internet security software.
