			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Security researchers from Trusteer have spotted a clever new technique<br />
used by cybercriminals interested in optimizing their malicious<br />
campaigns in an attempt to earn more revenue.<br />
<br />
Here’s how it works:<br />
<br />
The recent attack we discovered uses the Tatanga malware platform. In<br />
the configuration file we captured, Tatanga notifies the online banking<br />
victim via a web browser injection that their bank is offering free<br />
insurance protection against online fraud.The victim is then presented<br />
with a fake insurance account that claims to cover the total amount of<br />
funds in their bank account. This fake insurance account is actually a<br />
real bank account that belongs to a money mule.<br />
<br />
The victim is told that they will be protected against any losses from<br />
online fraud by this insurance coverage. In the final step, the victim<br />
is prompted to authorize a transaction that they believe is to activate<br />
the insurance coverage. In all likelihood, the victim does not expect<br />
any funds will be transferred out of their account.To approve the<br />
transaction the victim enters a one-time SMS password that is sent to<br />
their mobile device. Unfortunately, the victim is actually approving a<br />
transfer of funds from their account to the fraudster’s money mule account.<br />
<br />
Despite the technological implementation behind the success of the<br />
campaign relies on the Tatanga malware platform, a central role for the<br />
success of the concept is played by money mules.<br />
<br />

Going Dark: Lawful Electronic Surveillance in the Face of New<br />

<br />
4th May 2012 21:25 UTC<br />
<br />
CNET learns the FBI is quietly pushing its plan to force surveillance<br />
backdoors on social networks, VoIP, and Web e-mail providers, and that<br />
the bureau is asking Internet companies not to oppose a law making those<br />
backdoors mandatory.<br />
<br />
The FBI is asking Internet companies not to oppose a controversial<br />
proposal that would require firms, including Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo,<br />
and Google, to build in backdoors for government surveillance.<br />
<br />
In meetings with industry representatives, the White House, and U.S.<br />
senators, senior FBI officials argue the dramatic shift in communication<br />
from the telephone system to the Internet has made it far more difficult<br />
for agents to wiretap Americans suspected of illegal activities, CNET<br />
has learned.<br />
<br />
The FBI general counsel's office has drafted a proposed law that the<br />
bureau claims is the best solution: requiring that social-networking Web<br />
sites and providers of VoIP, instant messaging, and Web e-mail alter<br />
their code to ensure their products are wiretap-friendly.<br />
<br />
&quot;If you create a service, product, or app that allows a user to<br />
communicate, you get the privilege of adding that extra coding,&quot; an<br />
industry representative who has reviewed the FBI's draft legislation<br />
told CNET. The requirements apply only if a threshold of a certain<br />
number of users is exceeded, according to a second industry<br />
representative briefed on it.<br />
<br />
The FBI's proposal would amend a 1994 law, called the Communications<br />
Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, that currently applies<br />
only to telecommunications providers, not Web companies. The Federal<br />
Communications Commission extended CALEA in 2004 to apply to broadband<br />
networks.<br />
<br />
&quot;Going Dark&quot; timeline<br />
<br />
June 2008: FBI Director Robert Mueller and his aides brief Sens. Barbara<br />
Mikulski, Richard Shelby, and Ted Stevens on &quot;Going Dark.&quot;<br />
<br />
June 2008: FBI Assistant Director Kerry Haynes holds &quot;Going Dark&quot;<br />
briefing for Senate appropriations subcommittee and offers a &quot;classified<br />
version of this briefing&quot; at Quantico.<br />
<br />
August 2008: Mueller briefed on Going Dark at strategy meeting.<br />
<br />
September 2008: FBI completes a &quot;high-level explanation&quot; of CALEA<br />
amendment package.<br />
<br />
May 2009: FBI Assistant Director Rich Haley briefs Senate Intelligence<br />
committee and Mikulsi staffers on how bureau is &quot;dealing with the 'Going<br />
Dark' issue.'&quot; Mikulski plans to bring up &quot;Going Dark&quot; at a closed-door<br />
hearing the following week.<br />
<br />
May 2009: Haley briefs Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, currently the top<br />
Democrat on House Intelligence, who would later co-author CISPA.<br />
<br />
September 2008: FBI staff briefed by RAND, which was commissioned to<br />
&quot;look at&quot; Going Dark.<br />
<br />
November 2008: FBI Assistant Director Marcus Thomas, who oversees the<br />
Quantico-based Operational Technology Division, prepares briefing for<br />
President-Elect Obama's transition team.<br />
<br />
December 2008: FBI intelligence analyst in Communications Analysis Unit<br />
begins analysis of VoIP surveillance.<br />
<br />
February 2009: FBI memo to all field offices asks for anecdotal<br />
information about cases where &quot;investigations have been negatively<br />
impacted&quot; by lack of data retention or Internet interception.<br />
<br />
March 2009: Mueller's advisory board meets for a full-day briefing on<br />
Going Dark.<br />
<br />
April 2009: FBI distributes presentation for White House meeting on<br />
Going Dark.<br />
<br />
April 2009: FBI warns that the Going Dark project is &quot;yellow,&quot; meaning<br />
limited progress, because of &quot;new administration personnel not being in<br />
place for briefings.&quot;<br />
<br />
April 2009: FBI general counsel's office reports that the bureau's Data<br />
Interception Technology Unit has &quot;compiled a list of FISA dockets...<br />
that the FBI has been unable to fully implement.&quot; That's a reference to<br />
telecom companies that are already covered by the FCC's expansion of<br />
CALEA.<br />
<br />
May 2009: FBI's internal Wikipedia-knockoff Bureaupedia entry for<br />
&quot;National Lawful Intercept Strategy&quot; includes section on &quot;modernize<br />
lawful intercept laws.&quot;<br />
<br />
May 2009: FBI e-mail boasts that the bureau's plan has &quot;gotten<br />
attention&quot; from industry, but &quot;we need to strengthen the business case<br />
on this.&quot;<br />
<br />
June 2009: FBI's Office of Congressional Affairs prepares Going Dark<br />
briefing for closed-door session of Senate Appropriations subcommittee.<br />
<br />
July 2010: FBI e-mail says the &quot;Going Dark Working Group (GDWG)<br />
continues to ask for examples from Cvber investigations where<br />
investigators have had problems&quot; because of new technologies.<br />
<br />
September 2010: FBI staff operations specialist in its Counterterrorism<br />
Division sends e-mail on difficulties in &quot;obtaining information from<br />
Internet Service Providers and social-networking sites.&quot;<br />
<br />
FBI Director Robert Mueller is not asking companies to support the<br />
bureau's CALEA expansion, but instead is &quot;asking what can go in it to<br />
minimize impacts,&quot; one participant in the discussions says. That<br />
included a scheduled trip this month to the West Coast -- which was<br />
subsequently postponed -- to meet with Internet companies' CEOs and top<br />
lawyers.<br />
<br />
A further expansion of CALEA is unlikely to be applauded by tech<br />
companies, their customers, or privacy groups. Apple (which distributes<br />
iChat and FaceTime) is currently lobbying on the topic, according to<br />
disclosure documents filed with Congress two weeks ago. Microsoft (which<br />
owns Skype and Hotmail) says its lobbyists are following the topic<br />
because it's &quot;an area of ongoing interest to us.&quot; Google, Yahoo, and<br />
Facebook declined to comment.<br />
<br />
In February 2011, CNET was the first to report that then-FBI general<br />
counsel Valerie Caproni was planning to warn Congress of what the bureau<br />
calls its &quot;Going Dark&quot; problem, meaning that its surveillance<br />
capabilities may diminish as technology advances. Caproni singled out<br />
&quot;Web-based e-mail, social-networking sites, and peer-to-peer<br />
communications&quot; as problems that have left the FBI &quot;increasingly unable&quot;<br />
to conduct the same kind of wiretapping it could in the past.<br />
<br />
In addition to the FBI's legislative proposal, there are indications<br />
that the Federal Communications Commission is considering reinterpreting<br />
CALEA to demand that products that allow video or voice chat over the<br />
Internet -- from Skype to Google Hangouts to Xbox Live -- include<br />
surveillance backdoors to help the FBI with its &quot;Going Dark&quot; program.<br />
CALEA applies to technologies that are a &quot;substantial replacement&quot; for<br />
the telephone system.<br />
<br />
&quot;We have noticed a massive uptick in the amount of FCC CALEA inquiries<br />
and enforcement proceedings within the last year, most of which are<br />
intended to address 'Going Dark' issues,&quot; says Christopher Canter, lead<br />
compliance counsel at the Marashlian and Donahue law firm, which<br />
specializes in CALEA. &quot;This generally means that the FCC is laying the<br />
groundwork for regulatory action.&quot;<br />
<br />
Subsentio, a Colorado-based company that sells CALEA compliance products<br />
and worked with the Justice Department when it asked the FCC to extend<br />
CALEA seven years ago, says the FBI's draft legislation was prepared<br />
with the compliance costs of Internet companies in mind.<br />
<br />
In a statement to CNET, Subsentio President Steve Bock said that the<br />
measure provides a &quot;safe harbor&quot; for Internet companies as long as the<br />
interception techniques are &quot;'good enough' solutions approved by the<br />
attorney general.&quot;<br />
<br />
Another option that would be permitted, Bock said, is if companies<br />
&quot;supply the government with proprietary information to decode<br />
information&quot; obtained through a wiretap or other type of lawful<br />
interception, rather than &quot;provide a complex system for converting the<br />
information into an industry standard format.&quot;<br />
<br />
A representative for the FBI told CNET today that: &quot;(There are)<br />
significant challenges posed to the FBI in the accomplishment of our<br />
diverse mission. These include those that result from the advent of<br />
rapidly changing technology. A growing gap exists between the statutory<br />
authority of law enforcement to intercept electronic communications<br />
pursuant to court order and our practical ability to intercept those<br />
communications. The FBI believes that if this gap continues to grow,<br />
there is a very real risk of the government 'going dark,' resulting in<br />
an increased risk to national security and public safety.&quot;<br />
<br />
Next steps<br />
<br />
The FBI's legislation, which has been approved by the Department of<br />
Justice, is one component of what the bureau has internally called the<br />
&quot;National Electronic Surveillance Strategy.&quot; Documents obtained by the<br />
Electronic Frontier Foundation show that since 2006, Going Dark has been<br />
a worry inside the bureau, which employed 107 full-time equivalent<br />
people on the project as of 2009, commissioned a RAND study, and sought<br />
extensive technical input from the bureau's secretive Operational<br />
Technology Division in Quantico, Va. The division boasts of developing<br />
the &quot;latest and greatest investigative technologies to catch terrorists<br />
and criminals.&quot;<br />
<br />
But the White House, perhaps less inclined than the bureau to initiate<br />
what would likely be a bruising privacy battle, has not sent the FBI's<br />
CALEA amendments to Capitol Hill, even though they were expected last<br />
year. (A representative for Sen. Patrick Leahy, head of the Judiciary<br />
committee and original author of CALEA, said today that &quot;we have not<br />
seen any proposals from the administration.&quot;)<br />
<br />
Mueller said in December that the CALEA amendments will be &quot;coordinated<br />
through the interagency process,&quot; meaning they would need to receive<br />
administration-wide approval.<br />
<br />
Stewart Baker, a partner at Steptoe and Johnson who is the former<br />
assistant secretary for policy at Homeland Security, said the FBI has<br />
&quot;faced difficulty getting its legislative proposals through an<br />
administration staffed in large part by people who lived through the<br />
CALEA and crypto fights of the Clinton administration, and who are<br />
jaundiced about law enforcement regulation of technology -- overly<br />
jaundiced, in my view.&quot;<br />
<br />
On the other hand, as a senator in the 1990s, Vice President Joe Biden<br />
introduced a bill at the FBI's behest that echoes the bureau's proposal<br />
today. Biden's bill said companies should &quot;ensure that communications<br />
systems permit the government to obtain the plain text contents of<br />
voice, data, and other communications when appropriately authorized by<br />
law.&quot; (Biden's legislation spurred the public release of PGP, one of the<br />
first easy-to-use encryption utilities.)<br />
<br />
The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment. An FCC<br />
representative referred questions to the Public Safety and Homeland<br />
Security Bureau, which declined to comment.<br />
<br />
From the FBI's perspective, expanding CALEA to cover VoIP, Web e-mail,<br />
and social networks isn't expanding wiretapping law: If a court order is<br />
required today, one will be required tomorrow as well. Rather, it's<br />
making sure that a wiretap is guaranteed to produce results.<br />
<br />
But that nuanced argument could prove radioactive among an Internet<br />
community already skeptical of government efforts in the wake of<br />
protests over the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, in January, and the<br />
CISPA data-sharing bill last month. And even if startups or hobbyist<br />
projects are exempted if they stay below the user threshold, it's hardly<br />
clear how open-source or free software projects such as Linphone,<br />
KPhone, and Zfone -- or Nicholas Merrill's proposal for a<br />
privacy-protective Internet provider -- will comply.<br />
<br />
The FBI's CALEA amendments could be particularly troublesome for Zfone.<br />
Phil Zimmermann, the creator of PGP who became a privacy icon two<br />
decades ago after being threatened with criminal prosecution, announced<br />
Zfone in 2005 as a way to protect the privacy of VoIP users. Zfone<br />
scrambles the entire conversation from end to end.<br />
<br />
&quot;I worry about the government mandating backdoors into these kinds of<br />
communications,&quot; says Jennifer Lynch, an attorney at the San<br />
Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has obtained<br />
documents from the FBI relating to its proposed expansion of CALEA.<br />
<br />
As CNET was the first to report in 2003, representatives of the FBI's<br />
Electronic Surveillance Technology Section in Chantilly, Va., began<br />
quietly lobbying the FCC to force broadband providers to provide<br />
more-efficient, standardized surveillance facilities. The FCC approved<br />
that requirement a year later, sweeping in Internet phone companies that<br />
tie into the existing telecommunications system. It was upheld in 2006<br />
by a federal appeals court.<br />
<br />
But the FCC never granted the FBI's request to rewrite CALEA to cover<br />
instant messaging and VoIP programs that are not &quot;managed&quot;--meaning<br />
peer-to-peer programs like Apple's Facetime, iChat/AIM, Gmail's video<br />
chat, and Xbox Live's in-game chat that do not use the public telephone<br />
network.<br />
<br />
If there is going to be a CALEA rewrite, &quot;industry would like to see any<br />
new legislation include some protections against disclosure of any trade<br />
secrets or other confidential information that might be shared with law<br />
enforcement, so that they are not released, for example, during open<br />
court proceedings,&quot; says Roszel Thomsen, a partner at Thomsen and Burke<br />
who represents technology companies and is a member of an FBI study<br />
group. He suggests that such language would make it &quot;somewhat easier&quot;<br />
for both industry and the police to respond to new technologies.<br />
<br />
But industry groups aren't necessarily going to roll over without a<br />
fight. TechAmerica, a trade association that includes representatives of<br />
HP, eBay, IBM, Qualcomm, and other tech companies on its board of<br />
directors, has been lobbying against a CALEA expansion. Such a law would<br />
&quot;represent a sea change in government surveillance law, imposing<br />
significant compliance costs on both traditional (think local exchange<br />
carriers) and nontraditional (think social media) communications<br />
companies,&quot; TechAmerica said in e-mail today.<br />
<br />
Ross Schulman, public policy and regulatory counsel at the Computer and<br />
Communications Industry Association, adds: &quot;New methods of communication<br />
should not be subject to a government green light before they can be<br />
used.&quot;<br />

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Like you, I got a fake Login Live page. Although in English,<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; some of the internal html text was Portugese or Spanish (I can't tell<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; the difference), e.g:<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;   meta content=&quot;El nuevo Hotmail ya estÃ¡ aquÃ*. Es un sistema...<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; By social engineering - you mean my friend might have encountered a<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; fake hotmail login screen at some point in the past?<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Exactly; just like the page we're seeing here! Pretty much all the<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; content is from live.com but when you press &quot;sign in&quot; the thief gets<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; your account details. It's also tied to your email address by the b64<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; encoded string.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; I bit on something like that a couple of days ago, but it had</font></font><br />
&gt; something<font color="green"><font color="darkred"><br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; to do with a facebook page. Then a Facebook login page popped up and<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; Firefox automatically filled in my login credentials. I clicked</font></font><br />
&gt; &quot;Login&quot;<font color="green"><font color="darkred"><br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; and the screen went away. But FaceBook never showed up.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; The more I thought about it, the fishier it looked.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; So I immediately logged into Facebook and changed my password.<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; As much as I preach to my customers about being careful what you click<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; on,<br />
&gt;&gt;&gt; I couldn't believe that I did it myself!</font><br />
&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt; What's Facebook?<br />
&gt;&gt;<br />
&gt;&gt; LOL.</font><br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; Yeah, I know. I spend very little time on it. I only have 3 friends.<br />
&gt; On FaceBook, that is... :-)<br />
&gt;</font><br />
That's pitiful - or so I've heard.<br />
<br />
Before I deactivated my Facebook account I logged on one day to find two<br />
pages of Korean girls wanting to be my friend. I'm a friendly guy, but<br />
not *that* friendly.<br />
