Microsoft and Adobe hit the security space with 1-2 punch on Tuesday by releasing patches multiple vulnerabilities in their product lines. Adobe patched flaws in Flash Player, Shockwave Player and ColdFusion while Microsoft released 9 bulletins, including a cumulative Internet Explorer update the RISK Team recommended our clients push out within 30 days. Noteworthy malcode developments this week include a Kaspersky report outlining its research into a cyber-espionage group known as Winnti and its attacks on online video game companies. The group?s objective? Steal intellectual property and digital certificates to sign malware for future attacks. Anonymous and its affinity groups had plans to ?erase Israel from the Internet? on April 7. It resulted in minor attacks against Israeli government and private sector sites as well as the arrest of several hackers in Jordan suspected of supporting the campaign. The Hack in the Box Amsterdam conference caused the FUD gates to spring open with presentations on how an attacker could misuse an electric car charging station to cripple the electric grid and a fantastic claim to use a cellphone to toy with a plane?s navigation system. Hopefully Amsterdam is like Las Vegas, what happens there stays there.
The paragraph above is taken from the executive summary of the RISK?Team?s weekly INTSUM report.Verizon security product customers should?access the full INTSUM via your portal.
