SOME COUNTRIES HAVE TO HOG ALL THE NEWS
Once again the "SEA" [Syrian Electronic Army] is at it again, but not by hacking a Newspaper this time. Apparently a new OS X Trojan was found and blocked by Apple's Xprotect. It's packaged in typical "Trojan Horse" style, and then starts to run a script mode. Good Job "Xprotect" and you can read the full story HERE.

| YELLOW ALERT |
According to a Computer World article, the "Internet Storm Center" raised their alert status to YELLOW. A group, called "Bit9" that had raised havoc in February is fervently using Microsoft's "Zero Day exploit" I wrote about September 18th, putting pressure on Micro-Ballmer to fix the darn thing. In any other business an exploit that has lasted ten years or more without a fix would lead to many terminations [ed.- well, Ballmer IS leaving within 12 months...]
"..and the exploit was being infiltrated two to three weeks before Microsoft made it aware of to the public."
The groups attack has been dubbed operation "Deputy Dog", and the exploit was being infiltrated two to three weeks before Microsoft made it aware to the public. Security group "FireEye" said, "These attackers have demonstrated previously-unknown zero-day exploits and a robust set of malware payloads," said FireEye of the hackers behind DeputyDog.
