A problem exists today affecting countless of unsuspecting users, and that's the problem of ZIP files boobytrapped with malicious JavaScript code that can automatically and secretly download and launch malware into execution on their PCs.
For some years now, you could add JavaScript code to ZIP, RAR, or other types of archive files. When unzipping the file, the JavaScript file would execute, automating various operations.
On Windows, this code would run via the Windows Script Host (WSH), an automation technology for Microsoft Windows operating systems, similar to batch files, but one that can work with JavaScript and JScript (Microsoft's version of JavaScript) code.
With such powerful features, you sometimes wonder how come it took malware coders so much time to figure out they could abuse this ability to do bad. But they have now, and it's not rosy.
ZIP files boobytrapped with JavaScript abused to spread malware
We've seen ransomware, banking trojans, and all sorts of nasty malware distributed via this method. Attackers craft a malicious ZIP file, append it to an email, and spam hundreds and thousands of users in short-burst campaigns.
When users receive the email, they download the file and unzip it, thinking if there is malware, it's probably packed inside the ZIP as an EXE. Without realizing, the damage has already been done via the JavaScript file that silently executed, and the malware has already taken root.
But there's a way to prevent this, according to F-Secure, a Finish cyber-security vendor, who's how-to tutorial we're reproducing down below.
To prevent automatic execution of a malicious JavaScript file attached to a ZIP file, you'll have to edit the Windows Registry and disable the automatic connection between the JavaScript/JScript code and the Windows Script Host mentioned above.
Let's disable automatic JavaScript execution via Windows Script Host
Step 1: Open the Windows Search and type in "Regedit" to open the Windows Registry Editor.
Step 2: On the left you have some folders. Open the folders in the following order (path): "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings"
Step 3: Once you've reached the last folder called "Settings," go to the panel on the right and right-click anywhere on the background.
Step 4: From the new popup menu, select the "New" and then the "DWORD (32 Bit) Value".
Step 5: This will create a new entry, which you'll have to name "Enabled". Once you've done this, double-click it to open a new popup.

Step 6: In this popup, make sure that you have "0" (zero) entered in the Value field, and that the Base setting is set to Hexadecimal.
Testing that everything works
That's it. Close all the Windows and go for a test. To verify that the Windows Script Host won't open any JavaScript files, first, you'll need some JavaScript files.
The easiest way is to download this file right here, which is the jQuery Javascript library. Press CTRL+S to save it from your browser to your computer, and then double-click the file.
If you've set up your Windows Registry correctly, the following popup will appear, telling you the Windows Script Host has been disabled.

Yesterday, German security firm G DATA published its PC Malware Report that included an analysis of the threat landscape for the second half of 2015.
According to the company's report, in the second half of last year, its security products detected 2,098,062 new malware variants, bringing the 2015 total to 5,143,78, which is less compared to 2014's total of nearly 6 million malware variants.
Gambling sites are the most likely to host malicious content
The most popular malware variant during the second half of 2015 was an adware program called Script.Adware.DealPly.G, seen in 22.9 percent of all malware detections.
Most of this malware was distributed via spam email, but also via so-called "evil" websites. Based on the evil website's server location, 57 percent were hosted in the US. This should come as no surprise since the US also harbors more than half of the world's data centers.
Based on the evil website's domain of activity, G DATA experts saw a clear-cut trend of using gambling sites to spread malware. These types of sites were the source of 18.7 percent of all attacks, followed by blogs with a 12.9 percent ratio, and technology and telecommunications sites with 10.8 percent.
Dridex becomes a behemoth in H2 2015
Out of all the malware detected in 2015, even if not the predominant threat, banking trojans were among the most dangerous. In the second half of 2015, Dridex massively expanded its operations, taking up a huge piece of the market, with only Gozi and Vawtrack barely managing to keep their shares intact.
Analyzing banking trojans as a whole, G DATA looked at their targets, meaning the banks into whose websites banking trojans inject malicious code to steal the user's login credentials.
During the second half of 2015, the most targeted bank was the Santander Group (Spain), with an attack probability of 45 percent, followed by three UK banks, Lloyds, RBS, and Barclays, all with a probability of around 35 percent.
G DATA's 20-page report provides a more in-depth analysis of the whole threat landscape and is available for download from the company's website.

Security experts from Palo Alto Networks have discovered PWOBot, a new malware family coded in Python that can execute a broad range of attacks via its modular architecture.
PWOBot infections started cropping up at multiple European organizations during mid-to-late 2015. The subsequent investigation carried out by Palo Alto researchers also brought to light attacks dating back as far as late 2013.
Until now, only the following organizations have faced a PWOBot infection: a Polish national research institution, a Polish shipping company, a large Polish retailer, a Polish information technology organization, a Danish building company, and a French optical equipment provider.
PWOBot distributed via a Polish file sharing service
All infections happened after employees of these companies downloaded files off a Polish file hosting service (chomikuj.pl).
The malicious files were generic executables compiled via the PyInstaller package that takes basic Python code and packages it as a binary.
Until now, Palo Alto says it has only seen PWOBot packed as Windows executables, but Python is a platform-agnostic language, and PyInstaller can also generate binaries for Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and AIX.
PWOBot is modular, can carry out a broad range of attacks
Not all PWOBot infections were of the same kind, and researchers observed twelve different versions. PWOBot's modular architecture is the reason for this large number of different versions.
Researchers say they discovered PWOBot modules that can download and execute other binaries, launch an HTTP server, log keystrokes, execute custom Python code, query remote URLs and return results, and also mine for Bitcoin using the victim's CPU or GPU.
All outgoing traffic is tunneled via Tor and uses encryption to avoid detection by security products.
"While it has historically been seen affecting Microsoft Windows platforms, since the underlying code is cross-platform, it can easily be ported over to the Linux and OSX operating systems," Palo Alto's Josh Grunzweig explains. "That fact, coupled with a modular design, makes PWOBot a potentially significant threat."

Security researchers from SurfWatch Labs have shut down a secret plan to hack and infect hundreds or possibly thousands of forums and websites hosted on the infrastructure of Invision Power Services, who are the makers of the IP.Board forum platform, now known as the IPS Community Suite.
The plan belonged to a malware coder known as AlphaLeon, who, at the start of March this year, started selling a new trojan called Thanatos.
Advertised as a MaaS (Malware-as-a-Service) rentable platform, to be attractive to its customers, Thanatos had to run on a very large number of infected hosts. In the infosec community, this structure is called a botnet, and the bigger it is, the easier it is to carry out all sorts of cyber-attacks.
AlphaLeon breached Invision Power Services servers
In order to increase the size of the Thanatos botnet, AlphaLeon needed to find a way to deliver the trojan to as many users as possible. For this, he devised a plan and later carried it out.
His idea consisted of finding and exploiting a vulnerability in the infrastructure of Invision Power Services (IPS), who offers its IPS Community Suite as a hosted platform, running on AWS (Amazon Web Services) servers.
After establishing a foothold on IPS' servers, AlphaLeon then intended to access the websites of IPS' customers and place an exploit kit on their pages. The exploit kit would automatically infect site visitors with the Thanatos trojan by leveraging vulnerabilities in the visitors (outdated) browsers and browser plugins.
IPS customers include large companies such as Evernote, the NHL, the Warner Music Group, Bethesda Softworks, and LiveNation. Besides classic IP.Board forums, IPS also allows customers to set up fully working sites, even e-commerce stores.
AlphaLeon: And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids
His plan was stopped short when SurfWatch Labs security experts got wind of his intentions while scanning the Dark Web. Researchers contacted IPS, who was unaware of the hacker's breach, discovered the entry point, and shut down his access. This incident happened at the start of April, and IPS is still in the process of investigating the breach.
According to the most recent Thanatos ads on the Dark Web, the trojan, which at the beginning of March was only a potent banking trojan, has now received new updates in the form of add-on modules.
These modules allow customers of the Thanatos botnet to launch DDoS attacks, deliver ransomware, access a victim's webcam, steal Bitcoin, send spam, or steal login credentials for various gaming platforms.
Our initial article on Thanatos also includes screenshots of the botnet's administration panel.

Companies are willing to take their chances with attackers rather than update or patch wireless mice that are vulnerable to the MouseJack vulnerability, a recent study has revealed.
Discovered this past February, MouseJack is a vulnerability in the protocol that sends data from wireless mice to their USB dongles.
According to Bastille, the company that discovered this issue, attackers can exploit a flaw in this protocol and send fake commands to a USB dongle, which fails to authenticate the data as coming from its paired device and sends the commands to the connected PC.
Attackers can use this flaw to install malware or take over devices from ranges up to 100 meters (330 feet).
Microsoft addressed this problem last week, when it issued an optional update that prevents MouseJack attacks on some Microsoft-manufactured wireless mice.
MouseJack attacks haven't scared companies in giving up wireless mice
Today, Bastille has released the results of a survey of 900 professionals. The study reveals that, despite the ominous message behind MouseJack, that attackers can hijack your mouse from 100 meters away, most companies just don't care.
Following MouseJack's being disclosed, 82 percent of the study's respondents admitted their companies did not take steps to outlaw the usage of wireless mice. In fact, 21 percent said they were not concerned that their wireless mouse could be hacked, and 16 percent claimed they’d continue to use their mouse even if it had the MouseJack vulnerability.
These responses show exactly why so many companies are getting hacked left and right these days. With a serious vulnerability exposing their corporate networks to any attacker within 100 meters, most respondents still thought of MouseJack as a rare type of hack that could never happen to them.
Nevertheless, 34 percent of the respondents said that, if they precisely knew that they were using a MouseJack-affected mouse, they would patch or fix it if a patch was available. Furthermore, 29 percent claimed they would replace it with a wired mouse, and 16 percent said they'd buy another wireless mouse that was not affected by this issue.
Taking into account that Bastille's CEO revealed to Kaspersky's ThreatPost that new proof-of-concept code and equipment allowed its researchers to raise the distance at which a MouseJack attack works from 100 to 225 meters (740 feet), the time to take MouseJack seriously has arrived.

Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have collaborated alongside the machine learning startup PatternEx to demonstrate how an artificial intelligence platform that makes use of continuous input from human experts would be able to predict cyber attacks better than the systems that exist today.
CSAIL and PatternEx are calling their new AI platform AI² due to how it combines the intuition of analysts with artificial intelligence.

Previously, "analyst-driven solutions" relied on the rules created by security experts which resulted in attacks that did not correspond to their rules slipping through the cracks. The machine learning approach to cyber-security relies on "anomaly detection" to discover possible attacks but often results in false positives. CSAIL and PatternEx created AI² by combining machine learning’s ability to detect anomalies with the knowledge of analysts to flag possible threats.
So far the new platform has been able to detect 85 percent of attacks and has reduced the number of false positives by a factor of five. To test AI², CSAIL and PatternEx used 3.6 billion pieces of data called "log lines" that took millions of users a period of three months to generate.
In order to predict attacks, the platform searches through data and detects suspicious activity using unsupervised machine learning. AI² then presents its findings to human analysts that take the necessary time to confirm which attacks are real and which are false positives. This feedback is then put back into the platforms models and is used to comb through the next set of data it is fed.
The CSAIL research scientist Kalyan Veeramachaneni who helped develop AI² likens the platform to a virtual analyst. Through its work the platform is able to generate new models which the human analysts then refine helping to improve its detection rates in a significant way over a short amount of time.
What sets AI² apart from other machine learning systems is that it combines three different unsupervised-learning methods to reach its top events which are then labelled by analysts. This allows it to build a supervised model that is constantly being refined which has lead to its developers referring to it as a "continuous active learning system".
AI² is a huge breakthrough that shows what can be accomplished when human experts and AI work together to solve problems.

One in three Americans indulges in some form of risky password practice, such as writing them down, according to the results of a new survey.
The report from access control specialist SecureAuth finds that Americans are exasperated with conventional online password management. It reveals that 74 percent rely on means other than memory to manage their online passwords, 35 percent write passwords down and 25 percent use the same password across several accounts.

When asked what they found most frustrating about password management, 29 percent named keeping up with different password requirements across accounts, 18 percent meeting complex password requirements, 15 percent needing to change a password regularly, and 12 percent getting locked out for too many incorrect attempts.
"From email to social media to your online bank account, just about every online identity requires a password. In this high-tech age, passwords are a way of life. Many, however, are making some low-tech choices -- as evidenced by the 35 percent of individuals who write down passwords," says Craig Lund, SecureAuth CEO. "Cyberattacks cost millions of dollars a year, hurts individuals and leads to long, drawn-out lawsuits. Just ask the FBI, Target or IRS. It's in everyone's best interest to make it difficult for attackers to cause damage -- now we just need to reframe what defines safe when connected online".
In order to keep themselves safe the company recommends that people avoid password reuse across multiple sites, set up a password manager to help manage complex passwords, and where possible, enable two-factor authentication on any website or web based application.
You can find more information about safe authentication techniques on the SecureAuth blog.

EFF (the Electronic Frontier Foundation) has filed a Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit against the Justice Department. The digital rights group wants to learn whether the government has made use of secret court orders to force tech companies to provide access to encrypted user data.
After the Apple vs the FBI battle, there has been renewed interest in how companies handle not only encryption, but government requests for access to such data. With services such as WhatsApp enabling end-to-end encryption, attention has now switched to what might be happening in the background without users' knowledge. While Apple very publicly refused to provide decryption keys, EFF -- and others -- are concerned that secret court orders may be used to hide what is really happening.

The Apple case in particular showed how the likes of the FBI make use of public courts to apply for access to data, but the EFF is concerned that "it is unclear to what extent the government has sought or obtained similar orders from the FISC". A particular worry is that "FISC operates mostly in secret and grants nearly every government surveillance request it receives".
The Electronic Frontier Foundation says:
The FBI’s controversial attempt to force Apple to build a special backdoor to an iPhone after the San Bernardino attacks underscored EFF’s concerns that the government is threatening the security of millions of people who use these devices daily. Many citizens, technologists and companies expressed similar outrage and concern over the FBI’s actions.
Given the public concern regarding government efforts to force private companies to make their customers less secure, EFF wants to know whether similar efforts are happening in secret before the FISC. There is good reason to think so. News outlets have reported that the government has sought FISC orders and opinions requiring companies to turn over source code so that federal agents can find and exploit security vulnerabilities for surveillance purposes.
The argument is that any orders -- public or secret -- that force companies to provide access to encrypted data reduce not only privacy, but also security. Those orders that are public allow for debate and discussion, but the very nature of secret orders prevents this. EFF Senior Staff Attorney Mark Rumold says:
Even setting aside the existence of technical assistance orders, there's no question that other, significant FISC opinions remain hidden from the public. The government’s narrow interpretation of its transparency obligations under USA FREEDOM is inconsistent with the language of the statute and Congress' intent. Congress wanted to bring an end to secret surveillance law, so it required that all significant FISC opinions be declassified and released. Our lawsuit seeks to hold DOJ accountable to the law.
You can read through the full complaint on the EFF website.
