PhishTank, a community project by OpenDNS to identify phishing threats, found PayPal and eBay atop its list of top ten targets for April 2007.
The PhishTank site serves as a community focused way of dealing with phishing attempts. Members submit suspected phishes to the site, and the community assesses and votes on them.
In April, PhishTank received 77,709 submissions. Out of that group, 40,549 were found to be phishing sites. Only 845 were verified as invalid by the community.
PayPal and eBay tend to show up at the top of lists when it comes to phishing, and it's no different on PhishTank. In their top ten list of targets, PayPal and eBay placed at one and two. Combined, they accounted for over 7,500 valid phishes. Eight banks followed the two in the list.
Month Of ActiveX Bugs Arrives: Yet another project featuring a day by day unveiling flaws in a widely used technology has been posted online, this time by a hacker called shinnai.
A new blog from shinnai said most of the bugs to be posted will be simple Denial of Service ones, but some will pose code execution threats.
So far shinnai has posted minor DoS ActiveX threats that can affect PowerPoint Viewer and Excel Viewer. Those are applications used by people who do not have Office or a comparable program to view slideshows and spreadsheets in Microsoft's formats. -----------------------------------------------------------------
Exobox technology is like bulletproof glass in that it is virtually 100% effective in protecting against the daily cyber threats targeting Internet users, such as viruses and worms which can destroy documents and computer programs, and spyware which is used to gather personal information without the user's knowledge, increasing the risk for identity theft.
Just install the system and it does the rest, effectively building a protective barrier around computers and servers that has proven to be impenetrable by some of the world’s best hackers.
Traditional reactive anti-viral software uses a database of known malicious code to scan for viruses. This approach needs to continuous updates and is only about 60% effective.
Exobox’s Technology = “SUEZ” (Safe User Environment Zone) is a software product that stops all viral and Trojan Threats. It is the first product of its kind that is proactive, not requiring a database of know malicious code. Specifically, unlike traditional reactive protection methods that rely on analyzing data and reacting to threats after they are identified, SUEZ creates an isolated user.
Exobox's unique approach to network security provides an unrivaled level of security, coupled with the addition of significant, revolutionary features that other network security products fail to provide.
Best of all, Exobox’s software solutions are proactive and 100-percent effective.
Exobox’s “SUEZ” (Safe User Environment Zone) Technology assumes that all data generated is malicious and constrains it to an independent environment, thus presenting a proactive approach. This represents a true paradigm shift in the industry. Current technologies “look” for a problem; ours does not.
Even IBM’s newest “state of the art” technology uses a heuristic algorithm to “look” for problems. Such reactive technologies are inherently fallible. They inevitably miss problems or report “false positives”.
Exobox's Co-Existing Agreement with Microsoft:, Potential Funding of $25 Million from Starboard Capital and two Acquisitions; 1)Mentisys (another software company who has contracts with Citigroup) and an additional entity, yet to be disclosed. http://tinyurl.com/2plclr
If the deal is inked in the 8-K above, Exobox will have license agreements with Citigroup and other companies. Too, this deal will make Exobox partners with HP, Oracle, IBM, BEA.
