  Boy, 13, regains consciousness after parents sign papers to donate his organs

Boy, 13, regains consciousness after parents sign papers to donate his organs     By Katherine Lam | Fox News
Trenton McKinley suffered severe brain trauma after an accident. His parents signed papers to donate his organs before he came back to life a day before doctors were going to take him off life support.  (WALA Fox 10)

A 13-year-old boy who was said to be suffering severe brain injury defied odds when he regained consciousness after his parents had signed papers to donate his organs.

Trenton McKinley, of Mobile, Ala., was hospitalized two months ago after a small utility trailer he was in flipped over.

“I hit the concrete and the trailer landed on top of my head. After that, I don't remember anything," Trenton told Fox 10.

Trenton suffered seven skull fractures from the accident. His parents recalled doctors saying their son “would never be normal again.”

“All I saw was a stretcher with his feet hanging out. He was dead a total of 15 minutes,” Trenton’s mother, Jennifer Reindl, told Fox 10. “When he came back, they said he would never be normal again. They told me the oxidation problems would be so bad to his brain, that he would be a vegetable if he even made it.”

Trenton was barely breathing in the days following the crash, Fox 10 reported. His mother ultimately decided to sign papers to donate Trenton’s organs that would benefit five children who needed transplants.

"Five kids needed organs that matched him,” Reindl said. “It was unfair to keep bringing him back, because it was just damaging his organs even more."

A day before doctors were going to take Trenton off of life support, the 13-year-old began showing signs of brain activity and movement. Trenton began breathing on his own and woke up speaking full sentences in late March, his mother wrote on a Facebook fundraising page.

Trenton still has a long road to recovery and suffers nerve pain and daily seizures. He has had three brain surgeries and will have another procedure to reconnect the missing piece of his skull.

Trenton said he believes he went to heaven before he came back to life.

"I was in an open field walking straight,” Trenton recalled. "There's no other explanation but God. There's no other way. Even doctors said it."

  Facebook's Phishing Detection Tool Now Recognizes Homograph Attacks
Posted by: tarekma7 - 05-04-2018 , 11:27 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

[Image: YwMM9XJ.png]

Quote:Facebook has updated a phishing detection toolkit it developed two years ago. The update now allows webmasters who sign up for the tool to detect homograph (Unicode-based lookalike) domains created for their websites.

The tool in question is named Certificate Transparency Monitoring, a Facebook-hosted application. Any website owner can sign-up for free for this service using their Facebook account.

Webmaster can add their domains to a dashboard, and Facebook's tool will scan public Certificate Transparency (CT) logs.

CT logs hold information about new domains that recently obtained an SSL certificate, and they are about to become mandatory for browsers.

Facebook's tool will warn website owners about new sites found in these CT logs that use a similar name to theirs.

Facebook launched this tool in 2016 on the premise that if someone gets an SSL certificate for a site with a domain very similar to another, they are most likely to carry out a phishing attack to collect user credentials or financial information.

Support for homograph attacks
Today, Facebook updated the Certificate Transparency Monitoring tool with a new feature to detect a new type of phishing attack that has become very popular in the past year.

The new attack is called an "IDN homograph attack" and is the practice of registering domains with internationalized Unicode characters in its name.

For example, users can register coịnbạse.com, which will be a totally unique domain in the eyes of a computer. (Take a closer look at the domain again to notice the small dots under the "i" and "a" characters.)

Such attacks have become quite prevalent, with several incidents reported in the past year alone [1, 2, 3].

Support for homograph attacks comes to complete the tool's ability to detect other types of mangled domains, such as those that combine different words (helpdesk-facebook[.]com), common misspellings (faecbook[.]com), or those who nest multiple subdomains to hide the real domain offscreen (facebook[.]com.long.subdomain.that.will.not.be.fully.shown.on.mobile.devices.com).

Tool also gets email alerts
Furthermore, Facebook has also added the ability to alert domain owners via email when a new suspected phishing domain pops up in CT logs.

Past reports and surveys have shown that phishing attacks are usually the most effective in the first few hours after a phishing campaign starts, so, getting alerts and acting as quickly as possible may avert a serious cyber-security incident for your users or employees.

Once domain owners are aware of such domain, they can contact the certificate authority that issued it to have it revoked, contact browser vendors to blacklist the domain, reach out to domain registrars to suspend it, and also alert staff or users about an incoming attack.

In case some webmasters don't own a Facebook account, there are self-hosted alternatives to this tool, such as Certstreamcatcher. Another tool that monitors CT logs, but doesn't alert you about phishing domains, is Cert Spotter.

Facebook's devs have a small obsession with detecting phishing attempts, and for a good reason, as they have to guard over 2.2 billion users. In the past, they have added anti-phishing features to Facebook accounts, but have also awarded prizes for novel anti-phishing techniques.

  WannaCry dominated 2017 ransomware landscape: report
Posted by: tarekma7 - 05-04-2018 , 10:58 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

Quote:The volume of ransomware attacks in 2017 increased dramatically, but almost all of this growth was due to the appearance of WannaCry, a new report states.

F-Secure's The Changing State of Ransomware report found the volume of ransomware attacks increased 400 percent last year with 90 percent of the reported incidents being the ransomware/worm WannaCry. After WannaCry's initial appearance in May 2017 the use of other ransomware types fell off to near zero by the end of the year.

“After the summer, there was a noticeable shift away from the kind of ransomware activity that we've seen in the last year or two,” said F-Secure Security Advisor Sean Sullivan. “The last couple of years saw cybercriminals developing lots of new kinds of ransomware, but that activity tapered off after last summer. So it looks like the ransomware gold rush mentality is over, but we already see hard-core extortionists continuing to use ransomware, particularly against organizations because WannaCry showed everyone how vulnerable companies are.”

Despite WannaCry's dominance, F-Secure said 343 unique types of ransomware were uncovered last year, up 62 percent from 2016, mostly before WannaCry's appearance.
