Google Image Search is the new target for hackers

Category: Google , Security

Criminals insert images directly into the infected engine search engine and use the PDF reader update to induce users to click on them. The image search engine Google is the new target for hackers who want to insert malicious code on users' machines via the Internet outside.

The problem first surfaced last year, when images were hyped as spam sent to users that clicking on the URL, was tricked into downloading a codec that would allow him to access the file. Now with the new interface for Google Image search engine, the method was perfected. This is because the criminals are entering the infected files directly in the search engine.

And to invade the PC's internet with this technique, the file in question asks the user to update your PDF reader - Adobe usually - through a link provided to view the picture or download any antivirus free, it reveals a malware, leaving the computer exposed.

According to security experts, the most striking is the degree of specialization of crackers, since this technique with the Google Image search engine can be used in different ways, depending on the operating system and browser used.

Category: Security

After the collection case involving misuse of confidential information, American consumers are demanding that the company be investigated

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission - the U.S. agency of state consumer protection - received request for a consumer group asks Google to be investigated, after confirmation that the company collected information confidential wireless network without password protection.

The case was reported on Friday (14/5), when the company announced the shutdown of the cars of the Street View service after discovering that without your knowledge, were also being collected unencrypted content - like information on Web pages accessed by users.

Some users claim that the FTC needs to know exactly what Google posted, how long he collected the information and use made of it. "Given his recent history of privacy violations, there is absolutely no reason to trust anything the company says on its policies for data collection," said one.

Google was collecting data on addresses Wi-Fi networks in order to further improve the information on location Google Maps.

After an audit of the information has been requested by a data protection authority in Hamburg, Germany, found that Google was actually collecting the contents of IP packets. "An engineer has added a tool in our system in a trial project, four years ago and since then she never had been removed," said Google.

"We are aware of the gravity of our mistake," the company announced on his blog, and confirmed that destroy all data collected in Ireland, in addition to already be looking for the offices responsible for data protection in other countries to know how to proceed.

Yahoo, Google and Fox spread viruses in ads

Category: Security

You visit a site that insurance or do a search on your favorite tool and thinks it's okay. Not necessarily. According to security firm Avast, an epidemic was identified virtual sites using banners harmful. And provided by companies like Yahoo, Google and Fox.

According to the blog of Avast, this is probably the biggest case ever recorded use of ads to infect your computer s, "with all major services affected." The strike has been called by the company JS: Prontexi.

For the PC being infected, you do not even click on links. Simply open a page with the ad harmful. The action uses a JavaScript code that initiates infection by exploiting various vulnerabilities s, including those related to the PDF.

According to Avast, the services most affected by this type of attack does not Yieldmanager.com (Yahoo) and fimserve.com (FOX Audience Network), which would account for more than 50% of cases. But they are also found to a lesser extent, cases via Doubleclick (Google), among others.

The code contained in the call server uses strong encryption and methods of camouflage, which makes the attack invisible to most antivirus (Avast, the company that made ​​the alert identifies, of course).

According to Avast, online advertising services should be more careful with the content they distribute.

In an interview with CNET, representatives from Yahoo and Google said they knew the problem and are taking action.

Reasons why the Chrome OS may be a failure

Category: General Affairs

In July Google announced the development of its Chrome operating system and created a great expectation in the world of technology. After five months of waiting, the company frustrated the expectation of those who waited and launched a beta code to developers only.

Randal C. Kennedy, InfoWorld columnist for North American and director of research at Competitive Analysis System, believes the course of history shows that Chrome will be a failure. He said no information about the system was very clear and its prerequisites depend on the hardware is lacking. Check out below, the arguments that Kennedy had in his last article.

Failure 1 - The base of Linux
Google uses Linux to build a lightweight desktop environment and web-oriented. But it is to inherit many of the problems of the open source system, such as poor compatibility for certain types of hardware.

Power management to monitor support, Linux has been a minefield of code full of flaws and poorly written drivers. Google recognizes this fact, but the solution was a disaster: the system will be distributed exclusively in a series of netbooks that are not yet on the market.

How Google can not establish a viable ecosystem of hardware and has a short time ahead (mid 2010), the company chose the easy way: instead of working hard on the equipment manufacturers and build a certification process, the company decided to determine which systems can run Chrome and then throw the responsibility for the rest of the ecosystem in the open source community.

Fault 2 - The user interface web
Google likes to see the world through the prism of a web page. It is therefore not surprising that the primary interface of the operating system is the Chrome browser Chrome. Unlike a traditional system, there is a desk. The applications that run under the Chrome are actually interactive web pages, with tabs of Chrome assisting in the separation of visual organization on the screen. The basic specifications such as Wi-Fi settings are made through a pop-up Chrome as a simple status bar at the top of the screen reports the status of connectivity, long battery life, etc..

None of this is original or generates some appeal. The tabbed interface and other elements of usability are derived from Mac OS X or Windows, as well as the status bar and application menu. Indeed, nothing in Chrome is innovative. It only replaces what we had in traditional operating system and adapts to equivalent web. In a first analysis, this action can be good. Web content is lighter and easier to isolate from the standpoint of safety. But it brings rigidity to the system. And the world will not surrender to an operating system inflexible.

This time, however, Bing stole share from Google - not Yahoo, as it did in its debut on the web. According to StatCounter, Google lost a percentage point last month to participate.

According to StatCounter, Yahoo and Bing together hold over 20% market share of U.S. searches. Figures from comScore, another company that measures Web audiences, differ: the second company claims that the two sites were added in June, 29% of U.S. search market.

Either, way the two studies point to a growing trend for Bing, who will soon be adopted as the official search engine Yahoo.
