BYOD | Mobile Bots Grow 1,000% in 2013

From www.infosecurity-magazine.com - April 28, 2014 5:30 PM
The number of bad bots has grown exponentially in recent years, driving poor internet performance for individuals and the loss of control over connected devices; wholesale theft of online intellectual property, content and data; unnecessarily high bandwidth fees; and compromised websites that are otherwise key to mission-critical functions. In fact, bad bots almost doubled as a percentage of all web traffic over the course of 2013, from 12.25% to 23.6%. And the number of mobile bots is up a staggering 1,000%.

Hackers turn 162,000 WordPress sites into DDoS attack tools

Hackers turn 162,000 WordPress sites into DDoS attack tools | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.v3.co.uk - March 11, 2014 10:42 AM
Legitimate sites forced to aid criminals' illicit botnet operations


Hackers have hijacked more than 162,000 legitimate WordPress sites, connecting them to a criminal botnet and forcing them to mount distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, according to security firm Sucuri.


Sucuri CTO Daniel Cid said the company uncovered the botnet when analysing an attack targeting one of its customers. Cid said Sucuri managed to trace the source of the attack to legitimate WordPress sites.

"The most interesting part is that all the requests were coming from valid and legitimate WordPress sites. Yes, other WordPress sites were sending random requests at a very large scale and bringing the site down," read the blog.

Brute Force Attacks Build WordPress Botnet — Krebs on Security

Brute Force Attacks Build WordPress Botnet — Krebs on Security | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From krebsonsecurity.com - April 13, 2013 9:20 AM

According to Sucuri, WordPress administrators who have been hacked should strongly consider taking the following steps to eradicate the intruders and infections:

 

- Log in to the administrative panel and remove any unfamiliar admin users (the first step after the attackers get in is to add a new user).

 

- Change all passwords for all admin users (and make sure all legitimate accounts are protected with strong passwords this time!)

 

- Update the secret keys inside WordPress, otherwise any rogue admin user can remain logged in.

 

===> Reinstall WordPress from scratch or revert to a known, safe backup. <===

Botnet Control Servers Span the Globe - Is Your country in there!? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From blogs.mcafee.com - January 23, 2013 8:06 PM

McAfee Labs has long monitored botnet activities and their control servers as they plague the Internet.  With millions of McAfee endpoints and network security appliances sending information to McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) in the cloud, coupled with a vast collection of malicious binary and proactive research, McAfee Labs has a clear view of botnet threats around the world.

One sees every time the same countries on TOP of the BAD lists of Cyber-Security!!!

 

===> These countries SHOULD start to Teach the basics of Cyber-Security in Education to make sure that people from other countries will not get touched by malware as Internet doesn't have any borders!!! <===
