Subject: Anonymous exposes 75,000 credit card numbers

Anonymous exposes 75,000 credit card numbers
By Jolie O'Dell | VentureBeat.com, Published: December 30
Hacker collective Anonymous has just dumped 200 GB of names, email
addresses and passwords for around 860,000 Stratfor users. Anonymous
also exposed credit card numbers for 75,000 paying customers of
Stratfor.
Stratfor, a security think tank, provides reports on international
security and related threats to government and military personnel as
well as to the private sector.
It is unknown whether Anonymous gained access to other, more
sensitive information during the Stratfor hacks, which occurred on
December 24.

***** Moderator's Note *****
Something doesn't add up: if the Stratfor company "provides reports on
international security and related threats to government and military
personnel as well as to the private sector", then what is it doing
with 75,000 credit card numbers in the first place? It's not like
there are hordes of consumers looking to have regular reports on
"international security" emailed to them, so why does Stratfor have
those numbers?
The only logical conclusion - someone correct me if I'm wrong - is
that Stratfor is conducting electronic surveillance by monitoring
credit and debit card transactions.
And how would Stratfor get "860,000" users? What users? What use
are they making of Stratfor's services? This story just adds more fog
to the miasma that surrounds this whole matter.

They have a lot of customers. Everyone who does business
internationally subscribes to them.

In this case, you are wrong. They do political analyses, not
electronic snooping.
>And how would Stratfor get "860,000" users? What users?
A lot of people subscribe to their free newsletter, which has an
interesting subset of what the paid subscribers get. Me, for example.

Apparently they provide regular e-mail newletters etc. to subscribers on
various issues, so that's how they collect the CC info from these
subscribers.
One prominent Australian pollie's card was exposed and that info came out
last week in regard to it.

Iran tricked U.S. spy drone into landing in country, report says
Electronic warfare experts used GPS spoofing techniques to snag
drone, Christian Science Monitor says
By Jaikumar Vijayan
December 16, 2011
Computerworld - The U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel spy drone that was recently
captured and displayed by Iranian authorities may have been tricked
into landing in that country after being electronically ambushed.
An unconfirmed report in the Christian Science Monitor Thursday
quotes an unnamed Iranian engineer as saying that electronic warfare
experts in the country were able to cut off the drone's
communications links and reconfigure its GPS coordinates to trick it
into landing in Iran.
The engineer was described as someone working for an Iranian team
that is engaged in trying to glean information from the drone.
The techniques used to attack the drone were developed by
reverse-engineering older U.S. drones that were either captured or
shot down in recent years, the engineer is quoted as saying in the
Monitor report. The attack also took advantage of weaknesses in the
drone's navigation system to spoof its landing coordinates and bring
it down on Iranian territory.

Better hope that no bad guys work out how to send a Cruise Missile heading
off towards a different target by hacking the GPS, eh?
Oh, and this looks very much like a scenario I postulated last year and
was assured by some Digest contributors that such a thing was virtually
impossible - apparently not it seems.

I inadvertently sent out a draft version with some "duplicate" names
in it: the statistics come from the Majordomo robot that John Levine
provides us, and it gives separate numbers for separate email
addresses, so I had to combine some user's totals.

Political viruses attack phones
Dylan Welch
January 2, 2012
IF YOU got a new smartphone for Christmas, beware - you may be a
button-press away from becoming an unwitting participant in this century's
great democratic movement.
In the latest addition to a growing list of online viruses being used for
political ends, dozens of people in the Middle East have had their phones
hacked in connection with the wave of revolutionary protests that spread
throughout the Middle East in 2011.
The malicious software is hidden inside a popular Islamic compass
application called alArabiyyah, which helps Muslims know in which
direction to pray towards Mecca. The app is only used for smartphones
using Google's Android software.
The virus sends out a text message containing a link to a forum that pays
tribute to Mohamed Bouazizi, the man credited with sparking the Arab
Spring.
However, the chances of an Australian being hacked in this case are small.
Not only must one be a Muslim, a fan of the online compass and own an
Android phone, one should preferably be a citizen of the Kingdom of
Bahrain.
In fact the malware seems to have failed largely in its ambition of
spreading its democratic message. When online security company Symantec
discovered the malware last month, it found fewer than 50 cases of
infection worldwide.
But the hacking does point towards a growing global trend of merging
online hacking with often radical or liberal political beliefs.
After the alArabiyyah app is installed, its malicious code sends out a
text message to every contact in the phone.
The text message contains a link to an online forum that pays tribute to
the man credited with sparking the Arab Spring, Mohamed Bouazizi.
Mr Bouazizi was a Tunisian street vendor who died after setting himself
alight as part of a protest against government harassment.
His act of defiance emboldened a nascent opposition in his country and,
eventually, elsewhere in the Middle East.
Uniquely, the software also examines the phone's sim card and whether it
was purchased in Bahrain, one of the countries that experienced riots and
protests in 2011.
If the phone is from Bahrain, it attempts to download a report on the
Bahraini protests released last month that found the government may have
breached international human rights law and its own constitution in
suppressing the protests.

Subject: Caller ID Name error
Message-ID: <jdqfsi$6ge$1@news.albasani.net>
A company selling a service to fix caller ID name errors for businesses,
by contacting the 10 to 20 maintainers of databases that generally aren't
updated from each other, uses this horror story to sell its services:
A securities trading firm assumed assets of another securities trader
who is now incarcerated. The incarerated trader had nothing to do with
the business, but his named lived on in caller ID displays, depending
on the caller party's telephone company.
On many systems, caller ID would display Bernard Madoff.
For some reason, the trading company's sales calls didn't go so well.

The Telecom Digest Reader Survey
January 2012
INTRODUCTION
------------
1. If you choose to respond to this survey, you need only reply to
this message: The Reply-To address ("survey@survey.dyndns-mail.com")
goes to a neutral third party who will analyze the results, summarize
comments, and report back to the Moderator after removing all traces
of identifying information from your answers.
2. If you want an acknowledgment of receipt, add the tag [AUTOACK]
to the Subject line of your survey response email. If they do
that, you must use a "From:" line that is un-obfuscated -- the
ack is machine generated, and does not have the smarts to make
any alterations.
3. The survey analyst requests un-munged addresses, so that he can
contact people for clarifications/expansions, if appropriate.
The survey analyst also requests: "Please don't send any attachments
or HTML-based email if you can avoid it."
4. I'm an adult: please be candid, forthright, and honest. I don't
have ESP, and I can't guess at your true meaning if you beat
around the bush.
All the usual rules about netiquette are waived: if you
think the Moderator is a horse's behind, say so. If you
think he is Jesus Christ incarnate (Aw, shucks ...), then
say that, too. The survey analyst is aware of this and
prepared to deal with whatever comes down the pike.
5. You opinions are important to me. Please provide a response for
all the questions, even if it is 'choose not to answer', or similar.
That way the analyst will know you didn't inadvertently skip it.
6. All responses will have all author identification stripped off
before summarization, and before any comments are passed to the
moderator.
7. The analyst will not retain any responding email addresses past the
end of the survey period, and the addresses will not be published
anywhere.
8. Your comments may be paraphrased if they are published, but they will
never be associated with you personally, since the Moderator won't know
who wrote them.
9. If one of the provided multiple-choice responses is a "close
fit" to your feelings, please use it. However, if none of
the alternatives fits, feel free to provide an 'alternate'
response.
10. In addition to making comments on any particular question, you
are expressly invited to voice your opinions (here's your
chance!) about the Moderator's performance, the direction the
Telecom Digest should take, the kinds of posts you would like to
see more of or less of, and anything _else_ you feel will be
helpful. The Moderator will read all of your comments, and he
might publish some of them, so please be careful not to leave
any identifying information in them.
11. The survey will end on January 10, 2012. The email address
will be disabled at midnight, January 11.
