THe KOOBface!

As Facebook works to make itself more relevant and timely for its growing member base with a profile page makeover, attackers seem to be working overtime to steal the identities of the friends, fans and brands that connect though the social-networking site.

Indeed, Facebook has seen five different security threats in the past week. According to Trend Micro, four new hoax applications are attempting to trick members into divulging their usernames and passwords. And a new variant of the Koobface worm is running wild on the site, installing malware on the computers of victims who click on a link to a fake YouTube video.

The Koobface worm is dangerous. It can be dropped by other malware and downloaded unknowingly by a user when visiting malicious Web sites, Trend Micro reports. When attackers execute the malware, it searches for cookies created by online social networks. The latest variant is targeting Facebook, but earlier variants have also plagued MySpace.

Koobface's Wicked Agenda

Once Koobface finds the social-networking cookies, it makes a DNS query to check IP addresses that correspond to remote domains. Trend Micro explains that those servers can send and receive information about the affected machine. Once connected, the malicious user can remotely perform commands on the victim's machine.

"Once cookies related to the monitored social-networking Web sites are located, it connects to these Web sites using the user log-in session stored in the cookies. It then navigates through pages to search for the user's friends. If a friend has been located, it sends an HTTP POST request to the server," Trend Micro reports.

Ultimately, the worm's agenda is to transform the victim's computer into a zombie and form botnets for malicious purposes. Koobface attempts to do this by composing a message and sending it to the user's friends. The message contains a link to a Web site where a copy of the worm can be downloaded by unsuspecting friends. And the cycle repeats itself.

love rules,

A Prosperous Year

Ever wonder why some people seem to attract money. They seem to become wealthy without even trying. While other people work hard and never have enough. Some people believe there is a reason for this. They believe that you have to put out the right kind of energy into the Universe and the Universe will respond by providing that which is lacking

. This is accomplished in many ways. Today we are going to look at the technique of positive affirmation to attract money. Now, what does this mean? It means that you affirm a positive attitude about money every day and the Universe will respond by filling the money gap with, well, money. Does this mean you don't have to work and money will just come to you? No, that is not what it means. It means that you will be rewarded to a greater extent for your work. It is easy to do and doesn't take long. However, it is very important that you believe in what you are doing. You have to believe that monetary rewards will come to you.

The energy you put out in the Universe must be genuine energy. May you have a Healthy and Prosperous New Year
