lol you can count on the FSB to completely implode the russian tech sector with their grubby fingers i bet yandex provided the search tech

TL;DR: The FSB hacked into the Kaspersky product and used the network of 400 million installs as it's own search engine; it could search by user name or by any particular file they were interested in. The antivirus software would then upload the desired "sample" and deliver it to the Russians. That's goddamned brilliant.

cis autodrag posted:neat, but lol at the man with kinda bad english writing thinking that putting a period inside the quotes at the end of a sentence was incorrect and worth putting in his FAQ. i'd put money on there being a big discussion at app[le about whether to put the trailing punctuation inside the quotes (because it looks better) or outside the quotes (because it's better syntactically)

I'm not entirely sure what the surprise is, loads of SaaS things have been doing this, especially the free ones. lots of HR SaaS is doing this too, because for some reason HR doesn't think privacy or protection of sensitive personal data is important

Main Paineframe posted:Where'd this come from? the NYT article doesn't have it What gave the Russian hacking, detected more than two years ago, such global reach was its improvised search tool — antivirus software made by a Russian company, Kaspersky Lab, that is used by 400 million people worldwide, including by officials at some two dozen American government agencies. ...by turning the Kaspersky software into a sort of Google search for sensitive information, is not yet publicly known. Like most security software, Kaspersky Lab’s products require access to everything stored on a computer in order to scour it for viruses or other dangers. Its popular antivirus software scans for signatures of malicious software, or malware, then removes or neuters it before sending a report back to Kaspersky. That procedure, routine for such software, provided a perfect tool for Russian intelligence to exploit to survey the contents of computers and retrieve whatever they found of interest.

drat it's been a busy couple of days in the secfuck world anyway, heres another tragic wide-open S3 bin story: http://www.zdnet.com/article/accenture-left-a-huge-trove-of-client-passwords-on-exposed-servers/ quote:Each server contained a range of different types of credentials, including private signing keys that could be used to impersonate the company, and passwords -- some of which were stored in plaintext. Vickery said he also found Accenture's master keys for its Amazon Web Service's Key Management System (KMS), which if stolen could allow an attacker full control over the company's encrypted data stored on Amazon's servers.

I guarantee you that no one involved has even considered the privacy and security risks.
