Email Hackers
Hey,
This may be a long thread. I sent an email through hotmail(not this one) to a company applying for a job. It had my picture and lots of personal information. I have the feeling that the employer hacked my email and used my picture to broadcast false sexual accusations about me over hotmail. I get negative stares from people everywhere on the street and random people start yelling at me. I've tried closing the account and it has been scheduled for deletion for like 3-4 months now but they are still there. Maybe he is able to reopen them, I'm not sure. If so, I will be stuck with this problem my entire life. I tried contacting Microsoft tons of times and they always say, see our 'terms of use' policy' and refuse to delete them.
I've contacted the police and they say, show us proof. However, it's all being done behind my back and I have no direct evidence. I know I'm not crazy. I've been thinking of getting a P.I. but they are expensive. In the mean time, its alienating everyone and my new boss is just looking for an excuse to fire me.
Can people be taken to court and sued for this kind of thing? I want to sue the pants off of him. What are my options?

xoftspy 3.41
I have just downloaded and run xoftspy 3.41 (trial) and it tells me that I
have 6 malware and 2 files that are a little bit dodgy. The first one tells
me that I have coolwebsearch xxxtoolbar located in
software\microsoft\windows\current version\internet
settings\zonemap\domains\xxxtoolbar.com
so I went into regedit and sure enough when I went to that location it was
there along with a huge list of other not very nice sites. Now this list
looks like the list of sites that spybot puts a block on or spywareblaster
am I right?
I ran cwshredder and it certainly does not pick up any problems. Is this
another ploy to get me to purchase this product? Tag: Reverse DNS & security Tag: 55838
Trojan(second post)
I have a severe problem with my pc, I cannot view anything in My Computer
and it keeps hanging, system restore doesn't work, the pc is slow to boot
5-10 mins but eventually all desktop items appear. I am stopped from running
any online checks virus trojan etc, the programs work upto a point then they
stop. all of my AV, spybot,adaware etc etc report no problems. Do I have a
nasty in the system? I have also run hijackthis but have no listed unknowns.
One thing that is puzzling me is that when I try to remove certain progs
from ZA, when I go back to the progs menu they are back again.

attacks on local port 1025
I use XP Home and noticed on several occasions attacks on local port 1025. On this port svchost.exe is listening (TCP). These attackers manage somehow to establish an incoming connection on this port using PASV FTP. Luckely I deny inbound traffic for svchost.exe if it's using PASV FTP. In my firewall log I can see these attackers have rather exotic ip's as 220.168.167.245 (CHINANET HUNAN PROVINCE NETWORK) and 219.145.23.169 (CHINANET SHANXI PROVINCE NETWORK). I suggest if someone notices similar inbound traffic on local port 1025 to report it here. It could be that there's someone outthere exploiting a system vulnurability.

Windows 2000 Security Update (KB837001)
I tried downloading a few security updates including
KB837001 Security Update for Windows 2000. The download
about 6 updates) went fine, but the Installation Process
ran for over 4 hours - the KB837001 was the the install
being displayed on the Download dialog box.
I finally killed it - didn't think this long of an install
could be right.
Two questions - has anyone else had a problem with this
install, and have I caused other problems by killing it?
Thanks for any info anyone has!!

who the hell do I believe?
I suspect unfair play on my system so I have run several anti
spyware/malware progs. The stalwarts tell me that all is ok, (adaware,
spybot) but others tell me I have coolweb etc etc, funny thing is many of
the lesser known progs all tell me a different story, it is almost as though
they have added a potential threat to their free scan, to make one believe
that one should buy their product. Am I being unduly cynical? Tag: Reverse DNS & security Tag: 55804
all email stopped at 10:22 am, seriously read
and did not start until now, none came into any email box of mine at all.
any
to me that is the very meaning of theft.
the new webvirus is but part of the problem, i am referring to the one where
visiting any website by the thousands now is a sure sign of a virus. losing
an untold amount of information today is also a sign that a massive system
wide internet breakdown is headed our way.
seriously,
you can blame either the barnstable police, willis of barnstable housing
authority, shane kelly, leonda mahler, anna durkin and or a psychiatrist,
janet and or chris morris. all i did was came to this group and asked
anyone of you call me, make the landline ring, it didn't. the question was
to you, how to keep a nation from losing its self control, bodily self
control when faced with the enormisity of the very information about this
song and what it means to the 9/11/01 investigation and to the people in
this nation, the u. s. a. and around the world.
it happened yesterday when i watched a man choke on his own spit when
listening to the song while realizing it is what i say it is. it isn't a
matter of power display to hurt someone it is a matter of how to keep people
from all out rioting and worse
my own wife won't even talk with me in here and it is her that i asked to be
by my side now despite how we do and do not relate as husband and wife but
as two people interested in keeping peace here and it is from here like
anyone else it could be kept.
we are looking at a serious nationwide internet outage affecting the very
core components of inforation technologies that willl bring out economic and
emotional ruin for millions.
read well stranger
in my time, i've come to despise psychiatrists, psychologists for a good
reason., i am quite serious about everything ive come to know of those of
whom i had to deal with face to face once a week. for me to sit here and
tell you that when asked what do i do with myself and respond in complete
truth of my jobs etc, only to be told ive got a mental illness to me is an
absolute travesty to me, its like being waylaid and nobody around not giving
any consideration to the mere possiblity that i wasn't. even to this day
although my wife says to my face she dont believe i am, she does turn right
around and say opposite
i am faced with a serious problem here and im writing here publically to you
in hopes that any one of you who is young, open minded and got some time
outside of school and or work who will chat with me about some seriously
serious subjects on a not a patient to doctor/student level is exactly why i
write. this must be done in person here on cape cod and mighty soon too.
it is this very fact i write of but i will put some perspective on this
first
last weekend a young nubile and intelligen albiet drunk young woman knew me
on site and literally would not bring up the subject she is studying which
is psychology because she knew of what i wrote in here and elsewhere. she
literaly said to me "well go to new york" when i told her that i'd like to
be in new york but yet i was plainly in my opinion there to chat with her.
as if she thought i was not present there at all to some extent. she
literally broke down crying for a simple reason and that reason is, i am
faced with the fact that this here nation caught quite by suprise was
knocked down, bloodied and battered badly september 11, 2001. she was ready
to walk away from her boyfriend for she took me and my wife towards my car
as if she were to go with us to our home (she never did).
my fact is i did create some music that went worldwide by august 30, 2001.
it did make it to some seriously connected people who were at the time and
are that established within the pentagon as private contractors and now even
part of the secret service (and that i was told by a motorist passing by
yelling at 60 + mph two weeks ago) this music is like being inside any one
of those jets through the span of under 7 minutes from beginning to end. i
have yet to seriously analyze this music with anyone aside from my wife and
a former friend note for note. yesterday i stunned a man to almost
completely changing his demeanor and watching him choke on his own spit when
he heard this music and he was a complete stranger. the other facet to all
this is that while that music was made, i was being told my wife was with
another man at my own home. this music was made adlib, freestyle and due to
some of the very actions going on where i was at the time too, they were
inspiration. i have been told to my face that i had been tranquilized for
15 years yet until 2000 i was not diagnosed with schizophrenia.
to this day i totally dismiss that diagnosis yet each day i bring it up
constantly as if i oughta be speaking elsewhere. thursday some children
walked up towards myself and there on main street i ended up realizing that
i had been making not only those children laugh hysterically but others as
well just by being serious and somewhat lighthearted about the history of
computers, present time of computers and the future of computers and how the
body can heal itself. my wife was totally incensed with the idea that all
that was what she had been trying to convince me of for a long time. yet
between us, it is i telling her literally, not to be trying to convince me
of anything, take care of herself first. our own problems have to be dealt
with and between when we first married even to this day the ability to be
as only we truly can be is a daily dilemna that is the catalyst for what we
do get done. as if our lives could be turned around dramatically if we did
live as each other thinks of ourselves to be. i'm left with the thought
that it is not mental illness but its a matter of heart. i could go on
about every minute detail about myself, her wrongs, my wrongs and the very
essence about good and bad parts to our relationship and how to ammend them
yet so little gets done. it is that "his opinion, not living it" she knows
and vice verca.
anyways, the fact about that music, the total power it has just played and
easily explained as i have in a seriously done this many a time way "these
are the facts" that i am able to do that leaves me with quite the few
questions to ask you in person, anyone that will meet with my wife and i in
person here in hyannis and soon out of office. it was last week the 9/11
investigations were front page as to the investigations are still in
progress and i have yet to read about this song, the story in any newspaper
or t. v. myself. i have heard howie carr via his radio show state my name
recently but the story was not told. he obviously read some of my online
material. then i've not told this story nationwide either and came home to
watch a vcr tape.
its not just this music, 9/11/01 that is something about psychiatry i do
want to chat with you about, its the entire adult industry utilized by
psychiatry. believe me, it has in massachusetts hospitals, i was there. in
my humble opinion, it the very essense of relating between a married couple,
boyfriend - girlfriend, casual date that is each particular reason that
built the reasons for 9/11/01.
so easy to write all that, a different story living.
no doctors office wanted.
one too many no direct response emails, they've in my opinion left
elsehwhere.
i should've been flooded with them since 9/12/01.
here is what i've left for the public around the world recently about that
song.
my name is in the hyannis area verizon phone book, please call and call
today.
--leonda (i'm coming home)--
august 2001
i'm comin' home,
i've been here before
it's been a long, long road,
traveled many times, times
been walking miles trying to find my lady
i love her so, dearly so
she's got my heart,
keeps the child in me
my guiding light,
she sets, sets me free
i'm coming home,
today,
traveled that walk
happy as I could ever be
i thank you,
with all my heart
just where to begin,
I know that love will never depart
these many oceans are filled with tears
Cry for centuries, happiness and fear
i think it's time,
i bring up my anchor
paddle on,
to a distant shore,
somehow, someway,
i'll make it home,
what my love will say,
I'm countin' on
So many times,
i've crossed the lords path
i might have forgiveness,
just from where I'm at
now I don't know about you
you had your time,
you made it through,
somehow, someway
you might, may find
something beyond,
that love be so blind
may the sand,
flow through your fingers
and when that crow flies,
it'll guide you on
somehow, someway
i am coming home again,
i'm coming home again,
to my love,
my one true friend
i'll make you happy,
i know I'll make you cry
I'll give you my love,
all the time
when we're alone,
with the spirits who listen and talk
we may decide,
on our eternal walk
someday our child,
one or two
will know at least your love
and what i will put you through
under our roof,
massive or small,
with a fire burning,
and as our child crawls
we'll sing together,
country and blues
you lead the way
i'll try my best to satisfy
you
woman leonda
i am coming home
to you
i hear what i refer to as listening to
the whine of a jet, i hear the voice of mine potraying what it was like
inside those jets, brief moments from each jet from beginning to impact.
the only difference between the original audio and now is the volume
was turned up from the original audio and that does have the exact same
sounds. you think an award for that song oughta be presented? you think it
oughta
be covered with dance? you think it oughta have any other form of music
involved? you think it oughta be rerecorded? as if it is now a weapon
against violence? that has been suggested to me and i'm telling you here
and now i do not authorize it nor condone it either, not now, not ever.
---june 25, 2004---
i'll tell you now, francis scott key was literally in a battlefield with
total violence unlike any other at the time when the star spangled
banner was written. my song was created in a small
coffee house during *peace* time. this song was in the possession
of anyone who decided to download it within
24 hours, August 30, 2001. Janet E. Morris, my wife Leonda's
aunt was known for sci - fi fantasy writing and that requires
visionary experiences, remember the communicator of Star Trek, now known as
the cell phone, Gene Roddenburys creative design?
Mrs. Morris and Christopher Morris (some people tbink he looks like the Edge
Of U2 and he does play electric guitar) had created
"The 40 Minute War" long before Bill Clinton was President.
mrs. morris had total access to some of the "deepest" parts of the pentagon
prior to 9/11/01 meaning, she was a protege to a former cia deputy director
who served president kennedy the cuban missile photos himself. she was
raised a few miles from the kennedy compound. every few weeks i read or
hear or view stories about 911 inquisitions about what was and what not
known ahead of time and in my opinion, the song alone was heard by anyone
'round the world inluding the pentagon long before 9/11 so why so many
questions? that is why i called the white house. unless i totally missed
the story of the century, it hasn't been in the front pages yet yesterday a
man from nyc with a fire department t-shirt on with his child and his wife,
he just about melted me with this wet big eyed and blue friendly smile like
his wife and child. sorry for the non existant outward response but it was
proof positive to me it was heard about at the least. to be quite honest
i've not "exploded" in outright grief yet, that day is coming yet for over 2
years it has been a factor amongst many emotions.
and btw, to that woman and man out there that dares even think they don't
know where i live here in hyannis who do come into this area when my wife
leonda and i are going out or even in the same parking lot as him/her, ya,
you should've come directly to us without question face to face and
introduced yourselves plain and simple.
and anyone up here in hyannis from nyc, please come and see us, craigville
beach at night is where we usually are and our names leonda and
william mahler are in the verizon local phone book.
or come here and ring our buzzer, no one after 6 pm please.
My "secret" to this song, it's simple, listening to those around me, in the
same establishment, not for the exact words straight from their vocal chords
but by their actions and with the idea that i'd create a song without any
words like type or print in mind or in ear or in view in anyway,
not even during the actual creation but by
spirit, living spirit alone. I did have a stage time
established earlier that day. If you are new to ths story or not, I don't
mind repeating it again, just not living the experiences of what it took
leading up to and during the creation of the song ever again.
A second song, "Got Me Worldwide" was following the song and the entire
performances start to finish are safely kept in many places around the
world. This version is from my equipment with
the small left right radio shack microphone, built more for speech than
music and a sony minidisc recorder placed behind me on the floor close to
the store front window with traffic close by.
this song is about 9/11/01 but it took awhile after 9/11/01 to begin to
listen to it with that perspective, from my vantage of knowledge. During
that time, it was in the possession of anyone in the world.
The scenarios i've yet to hear and see in full myself is inside the jets
from audio and video. Yes the imagination does provide but to witness
externally is an entirely different vantage point. At least for myself
it gives room for acceptance. Leonda was not at the coffee house that
night, she was home and not by herself. I've not seen any pictures and or
video from that night, August 29, 2001 at the Prodigal Son of Hyannis, MA.
I've heard from many a persons my voice was total strength of persona that
night, it is full of weakness as well in my opinion. If there is or isn't
any similarities to Bruce Springsteen in your opinion, listen to "Drive All
Night", and or "Fade Away" both from "The River" and "I'm On Fire" from
"Born In The
U. S. A.".
It is the vocal performance of Springsteen that became a basis for my
performance that night and I repeat, not a direct source for words
for there are none in any similarity to "Leonda (I'm Coming Home)". The MP3
here is edited yet the song and amplitude are in tact and louder, the
original was recorded with recording levels approx 50% of the full available
set to manual instead of auto. Sound Forge 5 from (then) Sonic Foundry has
been the editor of choice
then and now. A new "star spangled banner"? not at all. Believe me, I
called the White House last night and spoke with an operator who rang in
less than 5 rings, "good evening, white house" for that was my first call
ever. There were more pops in that phone call via cell phone that i have
yet to count. I am coming to the World Trade Center site for the 1st time
ever for July 4th with myself driving my own car (if God has his way).
I've heard that all festivities are already settled and that was long before
I called the New York Port Authority June 22, 2004. I've got some family
that does work within the taxi business, maybe I might just have a easier
ride. If you are wondering why this took so long, many a time my
imagination sees myself there then and even now.

Share Experience Posting
Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post
this. I received an email stating "Advisory - A user is
attempting to share opinions and experiences about you in
our online community. " It then provides a link and
explains "Anonymous users post Experience Requests at
this website. An Experience Request is simply an
indication of a user's interest in sharing the
experiences that he or she has had with a particular

subject (an individual or business), and the subject is

Trojan/virus effects
For the past two days I tried to get rid of several pesky viruses/trojans
that apparently messed up my machine and kept returning on reboot.
I'm running XP and turned off System Restore, then rebooted in Safe Mode,
then ran my AV program, and deleted the "Trojano" worm and a few other
viruses, like the "DyfucDldr" variety.
I think I'm now virus, trojan, worm, and adware-free, but the damage seems
to have been done:
First, I can't open programs from my desktop, like IE or Ad-Aware, or Real
Audio. The system just hangs and the hourglass icon stares at me.
CTL-ALT-DEL doesn't work...it either freezes the computer or I get an error
message saying there is something wrong with the program and asking me to
send a report to Microsoft.
Second, there is no audio on the computer anymore. The files for all of the
Windows sounds are missing -- there is no C:/WINDOWS/MEDIA folder anymore.
Instead, in Control Panel, the icons for each sound show a path that begins
with "%System Root%" and I get a message that the file can't be located.
The same is true of all the other program sounds, for Real Audio, my
anti-virus alerts, etc. (I checked and nothing is muted.)
Finally, I noticed the Startup list after running "msconfig" shows a couple
strange ".exe" files, for example, "Nye42.exe". This box is checked like
all the others, and it says the location is in the C:/Windows folder, but I
did a search for it and there is no such file found on my computer. I
unchecked this from the Startup list, but the two problems noted above still
exist.
I'm afraid whatever got me really got me good and I have no idea how to
recover from this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've done a web search (on my other
computer) and reviewed the bulletin board threads. I think I've done
everything I've read to get rid of the nasties, I just don't know how to
restore the system to an operational mode.
I am thinking of restoring the "System Restore" function and going back a
month or so before I got whacked to do a System Restore at that point.
Hopefully that will restore the sounds and functionality. It may also
restore the viruses, but I may be able to delete them this time before they
do permanent damage.
I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on what I can do or whether my plan even
makes sense.
Thanks in advance for your help. Tag: Reverse DNS & security Tag: 55745

I installed Sygate Personal Firewall. Now it asks me the
following: Win32Kernel core component (KERNEL32DLL) is
trying to broadcast an ICMP Type 10 (Router Solicitation)
packet to (224.0.0.2). Do you want to allow this program
to access the network?
When I look up the properties of this application it says
it is a Microsoft program. My question is do I allow it
access or is it some type of spyware?
I hope someone can help answer this.
Thank you

Annoying webpages
Some webpages keep loading up on IE. They ask me to
install programs that are obviously malicious. This is
off a clean install of XP. I was wondering if these
webpages are as a result of spyware or such.
If I get IE just to block the pages, it just crashes.
Anybody got any solutions? Tag: Reverse DNS & security Tag: 55725

UPDATE: Internet Attack Slowing Down
SOURCE:

A major Internet attack that installs hacker tools on
users' systems is subsiding, security experts say. But
more copycat attacks are possible in the days ahead.
By George V. Hulme
A widespread attack that targeted major E-commerce sites
and secretly planted hacker tools on the computers of
Internet surfers is subsiding, security experts say.
Security experts estimate that thousands of Web sites were
compromised in the past week. The attack, which may have
begun as early as Sunday, didn't attract much attention
until late Thursday evening when it was identified by
Internet security firms.
Most of the Web sites known to have been infected have
been cleaned, security analysts say. Also, Internet
service providers have blocked access to, or "black-
holed," the Russian server that was planting the hacker
tools on user PCs.
Alfred Huger, senior director of engineering for Internet
security firm Symantec Corp., says Web sites running
Microsoft's Internet Information Services software version
5.0 were attacked and infected with a malicious JavaScript
application. When Web surfers visited affected sites,
their computers were subsequently infected through
multiple vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer.
Once a Web surfer's system was attacked by the malicious
JavaScript application, the surfer's computer was
connected to a server located in Russia and infected with
hacker tools such as backdoors and keystroke loggers,
which could be used to take control of the user's system
or steal confidential information.
While patches are available for most of the Internet
Explorer vulnerabilities used in the attack, no patch is
available for one of the flaws, commonly known as the
ADODB vulnerability.
It's still unclear how the attackers managed to
successfully compromise Web servers running Microsoft's
IIS software, security experts say. "It's something we're
looking into," Huger says.
It's possible, but unlikely, that systems running
Microsoft IIS 5.0 software could have been attacked by
a "zero-day" vulnerability, which is a new software flaw
that's unknown and unpatched by software vendors, says
Marcus Sachs, director, of The SANS Institute's Internet
Storm Center. "That's the worst-case scenario," he says.
Other possibilities include Web servers that
administrators believed to have been patched but were not,
or Web servers that could have been attacked through
vulnerabilities unrelated to IIS 5.0.
Security experts warn that future attacks are
possible. "Others may attempt copycat attacks, especially
if there is a zero-day attack in IIS," Sachs says.
Major antivirus companies have updated their software to
spot the malicious code downloaded to end-user systems in
this attack.
Microsoft is urging Web-site operators running Windows
2000 Server and IIS to apply a patch found in Microsoft
Security Bulletin MS04-011.
Microsoft has published a Web site with more information
about this attack and the IIS and Internet Explorer
vulnerabilities; it's located at

Internet virus may target financial data
Last Updated Fri, 25 Jun 2004 15:41:58
NEW YORK - Security experts are tracking a mysterious new
internet virus that may help hackers steal personal data,
including credit card information.
The user's computer is infected with malicious code placed
on normally trustworthy websites that use Microsoft's
Internet Information Server (IIS).
The infection is not substantially interfering with
internet traffic, but there are concerns of it spreading
because work is still under way to isolate the problem and
find defences against it.
Some experts suggest hackers are actually loading
computers with software that allows pop-up ads and use the
infected machine to spread unsolicited e-mail.
The virus is being spread by hundreds, and possibly
thousands, of infected websites. The "malware" code
redirects browsers to Russian-based web servers.
The infection appears to take advantage of three separate
flaws in Microsoft products. Microsoft says it patched two
of those flaws in April, but the company has not had time
to fix the third problem.
Experts recommend users update the antivirus software on
their computers to immunize them against infected sites.
Windows users should also turn up security settings on
Microsoft's Internet Explorer browsers to the highest
levels.

PC Users Warned of Infected Web Sites
By Brian Krebs
washingtonpost.com Staff Writer
Friday, June 25, 2004; 3:30 PM
Computer security experts and the federal government are
warning Internet users to take extra precautions when
browsing the Web after an Internet attack seeded Web sites
with programs that hackers can use to steal personal
information.
The attack is more dangerous than most, according to the
government's US-CERT cybersecurity center, because it
affects even computers that are running updated antivirus
and firewall software. Infection is possible just by
visiting affected Web sites, according to US-CERT, a
division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The attackers, whose identities are unknown, targeted a
flaw in Web sites powered by Microsoft's Internet
Information Server (IIS). The sites hit by the attack were
programmed to redirect the Explorer browser to another Web
site that contains code that hackers use to record what
people type on their keyboards -- including data such as
passwords, credit card and Social Security numbers. The
code then e-mails that information back to the attackers.
Computers that run Microsoft's Internet Explorer browsers
are vulnerable to infection, according to US-CERT. The
CERT alert said Internet Explorer users can protect
themselves by turning off the "javascript" function in
their browsers. Javascript is a computer language often
used in building Web sites. The attack takes advantage of
two recently discovered security flaws in Internet
Explorer. Microsoft released a patch in April to fix one
of the security holes; the company is still working on a
patch for the other flaw, which security researchers
publicly detailed less than two weeks ago.
CERT recommends that Internet Explorer users consider
different browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Netscape
Communicator or Opera. For people who continue to use
Internet Explorer, CERT and Microsoft recommend setting
the browser's security setting to "high."
Among the several Web sites hit were kbb.com, the Internet
address of the Kelley Blue Book automobile pricing guide,
and MinervaHealth, a health care financing company based
in Jackson, Wyo.
Robyn Eckard, a spokeswoman for the Irvine, Calif.-based
Kelley Blue Book, said the company learned about the
problem late Wednesday after Web site visitors said their
antivirus software tipped them off to the code. Eckard
said Kelley Blue Book removed the malicious code from its
site by late Thursday afternoon.
Jennifer Scharff, vice president of marketing for the
company MinervaHealth, said some of the company's clients
reported the problem on Thursday. The company has since
fixed its site, she said. Scharff said no more than 50
visitors browsed the Web site during the time it was
serving up the hostile code.
In addition, at least one auction page on the eBay online
auction site contained a photograph that links to an
infected Web site, said Johannes Ullrich, chief technology
officer for the Bethesda, Md.-based SANS Institute's
Internet Storm Center.
Ken Dunham, malicious code manager for Reston, Va.-based
security company iDefense, said the attack bears the
trademark signatures of the Hangup Group, a Russian hacker
organization thought to be responsible for unleashing the
recent "Korgo" worms. Korgo worms allow hackers to read
what people are typing on their computers and scours
infected PCs for other financial information.
According to SANS, most large Internet service providers
stopped forwarding Internet traffic to the Russian Web
site that hosts the "keylogging" software.
FBI spokesman Joe Parris declined to say whether the
agency is investigating this particular attack. But Parris
said hackers commonly use similar Trojan horse
techniques. "We work closely with Microsoft in
investigating matters of this type and always follow up on
any information provided by industry," he said.
Dunham and other security experts said they expect this
kind of attack to become more widespread in coming weeks
and months.
"These guys have the tools, techniques and motivation to
launch highly sophisticated attacks that are very
difficult for consumers to protect themselves against," he
said. "Whoever is responsible has just seen how well this
attack works, and other (hacker groups) are almost surely
going to take notice."
Stephen Toulouse, a security program manager at Microsoft,
said the company does not believe the attack is
widespread. "Nonetheless, we view this is a very real
threat, with serious significance in terms of the
potential impact on our customers," he said.
Toulouse said the company is gathering information on the
attack and will hand it over to the FBI.
Security experts said it is not yet clear which Microsoft
vulnerability the attackers used to commandeer the Web
sites. Ullrich said the culprit is a flaw in the way IIS
processes secure login pages for Web sites that require
users to enter a username and password. Microsoft released
a patch for that flaw in April in a massive bundle of
security fixes.
Toulouse said that the proprietors for the majority of
sites affected by the attack failed to install the
patches.

THANX 4 NOTHIN MICROISSOFT
Web Virus May Be Stealing Financial Data
Jun 25, 1:52 PM (ET)
By ANICK JESDANUN
NEW YORK (AP) - A mysterious Internet virus being spread
Friday by hundreds and possibly thousands of infected Web
sites may be aimed at stealing credit card and other
valuable information, security experts warned.
The infection appears to take advantage of three separate
flaws with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) products. Microsoft said
software updates to fix two of them had been released in
April, BUT THE THIRD FLAW WAS NEWLY DISCOVERED AND HAD NO
PATCH TO FIX IT YET.
Experts said the infection, detected by Microsoft on
Thursday, was unusually broad but wasn't substantially
interfering with Internet traffic.
Security experts at Microsoft and elsewhere worked Friday
to pin down how the infection spreads across Web sites. It
appears to target at least one recent version of Microsoft
software for operating Web sites - called Internet
Information Server.
The infection makes subtle changes to the Web site so
visitors get a piece of code that's designed to retrieve
from a Russian Web site software that records a person's
keystrokes and can send data back, experts say. Such
software "Trojan horses" are routinely used to fish for
credit card numbers, bank accounts, passwords and the like.
Now that the code is out, other hackers are likely to
adapt it to distribute software for spamming and for
launching broad Internet attacks against popular Web
sites, said Alfred Huger, senior director of engineering
at security company Symantec Corp. (SYMC)
"Users should be aware that any Web site, even those that
may be trusted by the user, may be affected by this
activity and thus contain potentially malicious code," the
U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team warned in an
Internet alert.
Stephen Toulouse, a security program manager at Microsoft,
recommended that computer owners obtain the latest
security updates for Microsoft products and their anti-
virus and firewall programs.
Because one flaw has yet to be fixed, he said, users
should also turn up security settings on Microsoft's
Internet Explorer browsers to the highest levels.
Security experts noted that users can avoid the exploit by
using alternative browsers such as Mozilla and Opera.
Users could also turn off the "Javascript" feature on
their Microsoft browsers, though doing so cripple
functions on some sites.
The infection does not affect Macintosh versions of
Internet Explorer. Tag: Reverse DNS & security Tag: 55706

Event log access rights on Windows 2003
Hello,
I have a COM object which allows an asp page reading a user defined event
log (the account used to access the event log is the connected user's one.)
When I store the page on IIS on a W2000 server, I can use it whathever user
account I use.
But if I store the page on IIS on w Windows 2003 server I get on error
(Access denied) when I open the asp page with a user that does not belong to
Domain Admins group.

It is said that you can build up an immunity to strychnine poisoning by
drinking a tiny dose of strychnine every day. What is said, and what is
fact, are often not the same thing.
The rDNS name is just an alias to the IP address. It does nothing to make
the IP address any less secure than it already is.
A properly designed rDNS name reveals nothing; but I've heard that some rDNS
schemes incorporate information which could personally identify the user of
an IP address. I've never seen an example of such a thing. In any case, that
doesn't make the IP address less secure, it is just a matter of less
anonymity.
