WordPress 4.0 Beta 2
WordPress 4.0 Beta 2 is now available for download and testing. This is software still in development, so we don’t recommend that you run it on a production site.

WordPress 4.0 Beta 1

More than a week after we reported deceptive search engine ads being used in Bitcoin wallet attacks, fraudsters are still using Bing ads to trick Blockchain users into visiting phishing sites — but this time, the ads are using some crude social engineering ploys. Searching for “blockchain” on bing.com currently displays the following pair of phishing ads […]

An ongoing series of phishing attacks against the Steam gaming community is making effective use of look-alike domains to trick users into surrendering their usernames and passwords. The fraudsters behind these attacks then attempt to bypass Steam’s two-factor authentication with a malicious executable that is deceptively named SteamGuard.exe.
Fraudsters are exploiting loopholes in the presentation of ads by major search engines in order to lure victims to phishing sites. Searching for “blockchain”, the name of a popular Bitcoin wallet provider, caused deceptive ads to be displayed at the top of search results pages from Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo. In contrast to the […]
Criminals are running massive dedicated phishing campaigns against online dating sites, marking an interesting – but not unusual – shift in focus from the traditional phishing targets such as banks and other financial institutions. The most recent attack used a single compromised website to host hundreds of fraudulent PHP scripts, most of which were designed […]

With only two weeks until the recently seized Gameover Zeus botnet is likely to be functioning again, the UK’s National Crime Agency has published urgent advice on how to protect computers against the Gameover Zeus and CryptoLocker trojans. Unfortunately, the page hosting this urgent advice is proving rather troublesome to view: GetSafeOnline, Offline When it can be viewed, […]
Malicious adverts displayed on the Ask.fm website have been automatically redirecting users to malware sites, where they are prompted to install unwanted or malicious software under the pretense of Java and Flash Player updates. This particular advert is benign and serves only as an example of the banner’s placement Ask.fm is a popular social network which allows […]

Fraudsters have exploited a redirection vulnerability in a PayPal website in an attempt to steal Apple IDs. Phishing emails sent by the fraudster were disguised as receipts from the iTunes Store for expensive items, enticing victims to try to cancel the fake orders. The emails stated, "If you did not order the above products and […]
The popular is.gd URL shortening service has been offline for more than two days, taking with it more than a billion shortened URLs.
Fraudsters are impersonating online banking websites in order to gain unauthorised access to customers’ emails. Most online banking phishing sites simply try to steal whatever credentials are required to gain access to a victim’s bank account, but by also gaining access to the victim’s email account, the fraudster can prevent the victim from receiving any […]

Fraudsters have taken to Microsoft Azure to deploy phishing sites, taking advantage of Microsoft’s free 30-day trial. Free hosting! In order to get a phishing site hosted at Azure, the fraudster has several options: steal the credentials for a Microsoft account, compromise a virtual machine running at Azure, or use Microsoft’s free trial which provides $200 of […]
Netcraft’s site reports now make it easy to see which websites have or have not revoked their SSL certificates in response to the Heartbleed bug.
Around 17% of all trusted SSL web servers were vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug when it was publicly disclosed earlier this month. The bug made it possible to steal a server’s private […]
The Netcraft Extension: Heartbleed and phishing protection rolled into one The Heartbleed bug affected around 17% of all trusted SSL web servers when it was announced a week ago.
The critical vulnerability in the OpenSSL cryptographic library has the potential to allow attackers to retrieve private keys and ultimately decrypt a server’s encrypted traffic or even impersonate […]
As the results of CloudFlare’s challenge have demonstrated, a server’s private key can be extracted using the Heartbleed vulnerability. Consequently, the 500,000+ certificates used on web servers supporting TLS heartbeat should be urgently replaced and revoked. Whilst the replacement and revocation process has begun — 80,000 certificates have been revoked since the announcement — it […]
Only 30,000 of the 500,000+ SSL certificates affected by the Heartbleed bug have been reissued up until today, and even fewer certificates have been revoked. There has been a noticeable rise in certificate re-issuance since 7 April 2014 Some of the first sites to deploy newly issued certificates in response to the OpenSSL vulnerability included Yahoo, Adobe, […]
