Adobe Flash Player CVE-2013-0633 is a critical vulnerability that was discovered and reported to Adobe by Kaspersky Lab researchers Sergey Golovanov and Alexander Polyakov. The exploits for CVE-2013-0633 have been observed while monitoring the so-called -legal- surveillance malware created by the Italian company HackingTeam. In this blog, we will describe some of the attacks and the usage of this 0-day to deploy malware from -HackingTeam- marketed as Remote Control System.

It is clear that any attempt to predict the IT security landscape in 2030 will have to be a forecast of security and society in general. IT is now almost everywhere, and its scope will only increase in the future.

The Flame malware uses several methods to replicate itself. The most interesting one is the use of the Microsoft Windows Update service.

In our FAQ on Flame posted on May 28, 2012, we postulated there might be a still undiscovered zero-day vulnerability in Flame

In this webcast, Kurt Baumgartner talks about the rise of exploits against vulnerabilities in Oracle’s Java software. The discussion centers around the exploitation of Java vulnerabilities in exploit kits and the poor state of patching on the Windows platform.

Over the past few weeks, we have been busy researching the Command and Control infrastructure used by Duqu

Once the driver is loaded, it decrypts a small block that contains its registry key and the name of the registry value to be read from that key. It also contains the name of the driver object to create

New information suggests Duqu was used to spy on Iran’s nuclear program.

First things first, I have to point out a mistake in the previous text. When analyzing the fourth incident in Iran, we stated that there were two network attacks on a victim machine from the IP address 63.87.255.149. It could have been an exclusive version of Duqu, but it turned out to be a big mistake.

In this special edition Ryan Naraine joins David Lenoe, Head of the Product Security Incident Response Team, Adobe, in a discussion about how Adobe is responding to attacks against zero-day vulnerabilities in PDF Reader and Flash Player.

Network devices such as routers, access points and DSL modems are an integral part of today’s home and small office networks.

In this webcast, Eugene Kaspersky, CEO and co-founder of Kaspersky Lab, shares his extensive knowledge of the driving forces that power the modern cyber-criminal ecosystem and discuss the way that cybercrime operates.

The Democratic Party of Hong Kong’s website was compromised and serving malware nearly identical to the compromised UK Amnesty International servers at the beginning of this month. The server has been cleaned up.

Over the last few days, Stuxnet has been covered extensively in the mass media. And it’s been covered differently by different sources. “Iran”, “Bushehr nuclear plant” and “cyber-weapon” are phrases which are already inexorably linked to Stuxnet.
