Hackers don't stop at anything. After the passing of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett yesterday, malicious hackers are attacking with spam campaigns, phishing attacks and malicious code, according to U.S. Computer Emergency Response team. According to the advisory from US Cert, "These email messages may attempt to gain user information through phishing attacks or by recording email addresses if the user replies to the message. Additionally, email messages may contain malicious code or may contain a link to a seemingly legitimate website containing malicious code." It is recommended not to follow unsolicited web links in email messages and make sure all antivirus software is installed and up-to-date.

In a video interview filmed at 10th annual Virus Analyst Summit in Dubrovnik, Croatia, Eugene Kaspersky reflected on how the techniques and targets of malware have changed over the past ten years. Mr. Kaspersky notes the transition from "script-kiddie vandals" writing code in order to gain notoriety, to the criminal organizations now writing programs to harvest financial data and other valuable information, and predicts increased encryption of malware will make it more difficult to combat. He also offers advice for users and organizations to stay safe online.

Today on Threatpost, Dennis Fisher discusses a new tool used for attacks called Slowloris, that takes advantage of some characteristics of the Apache Web server to keep HTTP connections open for long periods, which in turn deny service to legitimate users of a site. Unlike typical flooding attacks that use tons of packets to take down a router or web server, Slowloris attacks without sending an overabundance of TCP or HTTP traffic. Analysts at the SANS Internet Storm Center recommend that organizations running Web servers that are vulnerable to the tool's attack to make some configuration changes to their servers. Analysts from SANS also recommend using an Apache module like mod_limitpconn, which limits the number of connections that can come from one IP address.

New technology from Kaspersky will detect and delete malicious software and remove any trace of its effects by running automatically generated scripts. According to the release, "Moreover, processing and storing large volumes of information is advantageous in that it helps optimize and train the protection system, while security experts have the option of adjusting and fine-tuning the protection system as it operates. This combination produces a synergy effect that saves resources and provides a high level of malware detection. Use of empirical data and the system's learning capabilities enable a gradual specialization and perfection of its functions."
