Attack on RSA RSA Says SecurID Hack Based On Phishing With Flash 0-Day Trailrunner7 writes "RSA confirmed on Friday that the attack that compromised the company's high-value SecurID product was essentially a small, targeted phishing campaign that included a payload of a malicious Flash object embedded in an Excel file.“ "The attacker in this case sent two different phishing emails over a twoday period. The two emails were sent to two small groups of employees; you wouldn’t consider these users particularly high profile or high value targets. The email subject line read '2011 Recruitment Plan," Uri Rivner, head of new technologies in the identity protection division of RSA wrote in a post on the attack. The attacker first harvested access credentials from the compromised users (user, domain admin, and service accounts). They performed privilege escalation on non-administrative users in the targeted systems, and then moved on to gain access to key high value targets, which included process experts and IT and Non-IT specific server administrators “advanced persistent threat” (APT) attack http://blogs.rsa.com/rivner/anatomy-of-an-attack/ Intro
Lessons leaned Even big, security related companies can be hacked Their anti-virus did not recognize a modified old rootkit Hackers successfully maintained ingoing and outgoing traffic (‘covert’ channel) for a long time 0-day exploits are hard to handle Social engineering always works It’s scary how easy to get admin rights after compromising user system (in a big company) RSA did not disclose what did the attackers reach. Is the seed database compromised? What are the consequences? Are SecureID tokens useless? - in this case obscurity surely does not mean security, instead, they loose trust. Intro
Epsilon cracked "It turns out that Kroger is only one of many customers affected by the breach at Epsilon, which sends over 40 billion emails annually and counts over 2,500 clients, including 7 of the Fortune 10, to build and host their customer databases. It has been confirmed that the customer names and email addresses, and in a few cases other pieces of information, were compromised at several major brands, a list which continues to grow ..."

Epsilon Some may dismiss the type of data harvested as a minor threat, but having access to customer lists opens the opportunity for targeted phishing attacks to customers who expect communications from these brands. eing able to send a targeted phishing message to a bank customer and personally address them by name will certainly result in a much higher “hit rate” than a typical “blind” spamming campaign would yield.
SQL injection – based worm Hundreds of thousands of URLs have been affected by a massive SQLinjection attack, according to security specialist Websense. LizaMoon Affected sites are easy to spot by searching for the line of JavaScript that the attack inserts into a page, which links to a site called Liza Moon. Several iTunes URLs have been compromised with the injected code, according to Websense though as Apple's system doesn't execute the code, users are presumed safe. „A scareware file is installed on the site in the process, which then beguiles the user into believing that the computer is infected with viruses by displaying a fake Trojan alert. The malicious file then sells a software to the unsuspecting customer which offers to fix the malady. Besides the money spent on the bogus scareware, the multi-stage attack compromises the system security.
Lessons learned SQL injection is easy to and You have to protect against it If something remains unpatched for a long time, someone will crack it If it is a mass problem, sooner or later worms, Internet-wide scans will happen
