Quote:Last May, researchers published a bombshell report documenting sophisticated malware attributed to the Russian government. The malware, dubbed "LoJax," creates a persistent backdoor that survives operating system reinstalls and hard drive replacements. On Wednesday, researchers published new findings that indicate the campaign remains active.

LoJax in May became the first known case of a real-world attack harnessing the power of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface boot system found in virtually all modern Windows computers. As software that bridges a PC’s firmware and its operating system, UEFI is essentially a lightweight operating system in its own right. That makes it a handy place to hide rootkits because once there a rootkit will remain in place even after an OS is reinstalled or a hard drive is replaced. LoJax gets its name from LoJack, an anti-theft product from developer Absolute Software. The rootkit is a modified version of a 2008 release of LoJack (then called Computrace). The anti-theft software achieved persistence by burrowing into the UEFI of the computer it was protecting. The design ensured that even if a thief made major changes to a computer’s hardware or software, a LoJack “small agent” would remain intact and be able to contact Absolute Software servers.

LoJax repurposes the LoJack software and exploits a key shortcoming—the lack of any means for the Absolute Software server to authenticate itself to the software. LoJax uses most of the working functionality of the legitimate anti-theft tool—a feature that long made it hard for antivirus software to detect the malware. The trojan makes modifications that cause it to connect to servers believed to be operated by Fancy Bear, a hacking group that works under the direction of the Russian government. LoJax samples first came to light in the report Netscout (previously known as Arbor Networks) published in May 2018. In September, researchers from Eset documented LoJax samples and found at least one case in which the rootkit was successfully installed in the flash memory of a computer’s Serial Peripheral Interface. Now Netscout is back with new research that analyzes new samples. They reveal some never-before-seen control server domains, at least two of which remain active now.

Quote:A massive database leak -- dubbed Collection #1 -- has made its way to hacking forums, exposing millions of email addresses and passwords. The news was first shared by Troy Hunt -- the man behind Have I Been Pwned? -- who explains that the leak comprises, "many different individual data breaches from literally thousands of different sources".

Hunt explains that there are "1,160,253,228 unique combinations of email addresses and passwords", so there are a very large number of people that may have been affected by the leak.

Stress Processor


A tool to simulate CPU loading and test other behavior of other applications and services under pressure.
Stress Processor is a tool for controlled loading of the computer central processor. While it has been created with software stress testing in mind, it might allow some other scenario too, for instance simulating performance of old or slower computers. The CPU load level can be controlled from very light to full, in a variety of load profiles, with optionally delayed start or early test interruption. It keeps the user aware about the current load level, beginning and ending of the test.

O&O DiskImage 14 lets you back up an entire computer or single files whenever you want – even while the computer is being used. In the event you should lose your personal data it can be quickly restored with just a few mouse clicks – even when Windows is no longer able to start. It also supports SSD drives and the latest UEFI System.
O&O DiskImage lets you carry out a system restore and to duplicate or clone an entire PC or hard drive. You can even restore this backup onto a computer whose hardware is different from the original machine, for instance, where you have changed a motherboard on the target machine or have bought a brand new PC and want to restore an old backup onto it.

New: DiskImage To Go

Previously, in addition to regularly backing up your machine, you also had to separately create an O&O DiskImage boot media to restore that backup. Everything is easier now! The new DiskImage To Go function automatically turns an external hard drive (or USB flash drive with enough storage space) into an O&O DiskImage boot medium and marks this disk as the preferred storage medium for future system backups. As soon as you then connect this external USB hard disk to your computer, O&O DiskImage 14 automatically creates a backup. This makes it easy to create a recent backup. And if something really happens to your computer or you want to transfer your system and all your data to a new computer, then with the O&O DiskImage boot medium you can restore the backup stored on it with just one touch of a button. Without the hassle of searching for the boot medium and the external hard drive with the backup.
It has never been so easy to ensure the security of your data!
