Badass espionage virus in the wild from 5 years+ just found by Kaspersky

[conspirosphere.tk]

(Luckily it seems that we coiners passed under the hackers' radar -for this time)

Today Kaspersky Lab published a new research report  which identified an elusive cyber-espionage campaign targeting diplomatic, governmental and scientific research organisations in several countries for at least five years. The primary focus of this campaign targets countries in Eastern Europe, former USSR Republics and countries in Central Asia, although victims can be found everywhere, including Western Europe and North America. The main objective of the attackers was to gather sensitive documents from the compromised organisations, which included geopolitical intelligence, credentials to access classified computer systems, and data from personal mobile devices and network equipment.

This is actually pretty awesome. Five years undetected, while infiltrating places like that? That deserves some sort of commendation.

wait, there is more -and even worse:

From http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/businessinsider/~3/553G1uZDGbE/the-era-of-the-glaserner-burger-2013-1

The [German] Federal Criminal Police Office has acquired, for the event a use is necessary, a commercial product of the company Eleman/Gamma. The software is highly sophisticated and can completely take over a variety of devices, including Windows, OS X, Linux, iOS, Android, Symbian, Blackberry and Windows Mobile. A promotional video advertises the ability of “remote intrusion” via fake updates from mobile carriers and Internet providers.

Author of the Netzpolitik article Andre Meister goes on to surmise that the program is likely "Finfisher," a 'Zero Day' product Eleman/Gamma sells to various governments to monitor the communications of activists.

Germany's purchase of the program highlights the duplicity of government's generally stated aim of cyber warfare programs, that is, to protect against enemies foreign and domestic. Though governments like the U.S. have been clamoring for rights and backdoors to access social media platforms and next-generation communication avenues, like FaceTime or Skype.

The use of spam email to gain access to a computer, even an activist's computer, seems less than "official." Official or not though, seeing these exploits coming from governments as well as malicious lone-wolf hackers has become the new normal.

The real question is, was McAfee involved ??

Almost all Linux games are terrible 'indie' attempts at games, and Wine is glitchy as fuck and takes too much setup sometimes.

wine (the newer versions) are working quite well, atleast u state ur to lazy to get something working
yes most of all linux games arent good, thats true. i once found this webpage (its german, sadly, but it got tons of game listed and rated, all other rating sates are really out of date) http://holarse-linuxgaming.de , trough this site i found some awesome linux games http://

I have yet to try it but I'm told eve online work with wine.

Its only, I don't know, HUGE.  Plus of course everyone has been talking about steambox and upcoming support for (possibly) all their games.

b!z once again you prove you are just a fucking shed.

Quake has been ported to Linux a few years ago, and it's variants.

b!z is related to Third Way, check theirs post, usual Third Way posts some shit and afterwards b!z posts, pretty obvious.
Usually only Games with "security systems" based on trojans wont work (since they do kernel hacking, kernel stuff isnt implemented in wine).

IT's interesting how it's often the anti-virus companies warning about viruses.

More Java FAIL:

Oracle’s Java Patch Shipped with Additional Vulnerabilities

Oracle isn’t having a good month as far as PR and security is concerned. Adam Gowdiak, a researcher in Poland with Security Explorations, says that Oracle’s recent patch for Java contains not one, but two additional vulnerabilities.

“We have successfully confirmed that a complete Java security sandbox bypass can be still gained under the recent version of Java 7 Update 11,” Gowdiak wrote in a post to Full Disclosure.
