Apply credit card, loans, bad credit, is it safe?

Apply credit card is risky in these days, low interest credit cards shouldnt be given, hackers were always aware of the benefits of the global credit cards suppliers as also the attractive cash back credit cards got into points to be a easy to use cash out service.

Credit card hacking, stealing, selling and frauding is around since ages, as i know its been around since credit cards offers are around. Loans are aspecially developed systems to enslave humans and why shouldnt human missuse this. Someone thought someone got used to it.

As the web presence creditcards.com presents the statistics for the last months most used payments and usements for credit cards.
Credit Card Rate Report

Updated: 06-30-2011
National Average 14.75%
Low Interest 10.73%
Balance Transfer 12.78%
Business 13.07%
Student 13.77%
Cash Back 13.90%
Reward 14.28%
Airline 14.31%
Instant Approval 15.99%

Bad Credit 24.96%

On bottom you can see BAD CREDIT is the main usement of credit cards. These are loans that are payed by fees and are so called throw away credit cards for single use or till the fee amount is reached. These prepayed credit cards opened a new door for cyber crime as they can be used and thrown away as also take place anonymously when only used prepayed. Like Prepayed cell phone cards where used to not get tracked along.

Last day the credit card supplier mastercard.com again got ddosed by the collective anonymouse cause they shut down again the donation account of the wistleblowing platform wikileaks powered by julian assange. In fact the Attack really doesnt damage this huge company - only a few hours customers werent able to get on their page caused by the massive ddos that was running. So long the attacks stopped all the way and the site is accessable again.

On line data storage solution dropbox code fails, logins messed!

The on line data storage data backup service DROPBOX got in serious security trouble this week.

on line data storage backup service

Dropbox op posted on their blog that a massive security hole because of trouble with dropbox codes occured - every user of the storage service was able to log in with any password in any account - the security of the storage service totally failed and let every user in and take a look at any data provided on the internet backup service.

For over 4 hours the error was present and the backup service provider claims that around 1% of users logged in in this time to their drop box account. So maybe there happened no violation or abuses.

everythings alright

In fact be care when uploading data any where to the net or any online storage provider! As long they are not encrypted your data can seriusly be harmed or abused!

Kino.to raid and busted, 13 People arrested!

Kino.to is dead for now! Accident happend lawyer needed!

Kino.to has today been defaced and the page has been replaced by the german criminal police!
More than 250 Police officers 20 Special forces for internet security and information raided the whole company.

Further many streamhosting pages got taken down as well, they didnt get raided by the police train accident, but many providers closed their web presence.

Police demands their work with:
To raise suspicion development of an criminal organisation to commercial handling of illegal or copyrighted material and in effect getting funds from this system. simply: copyright violation

in long study case, police found that kino.to hosts many streaming hosts by itself to keep the site running so they are directly  responsible for most of the content they hosted!

Graphic cards gpu technology breaks passwords faster than every cpu!

I got around the progtram IGHASHGPU  and rapidly found that graphic cards gpus shouldnt be underrated these days! 

ighashgpu

An AMD Radeon 5770 can crack an standard password with 5 characters in under one second, a normal cpu with about 3GHz would need to spend about 24 seconds on thsi operation.
Another password with about 6 characters uses an normal CPU about 1 and a half hour, while the GPU of the Radeon 5770 manages to crack this word in ~4 seconds.
With an passwort with 7 chars where one is an space, an normal CPU would need about 75 days for this operation, our GPU fucks the password up in about ~7 hours! 

multiple gpu

So in future if we think of an SLI moded Graphiccard with more power than this mid-range card we used here, passwords could be breaked really fast in no time, what took as about 50 years for now can be done i about 5 weeks or less depending on the GPU powers...


so long here is an crack report of multiple GPUS with IGHASHGPU:
for example, result for HD5770+HD4770+8600GT looks like:

Fujitsu Siemens's Erase Disk launched!

The Company Fujitsu Siemens Augsburg has invented an new Addon to all their mobile computer series. An tool called "erase disk" is implemented in bios and uefi.

With this tool its possible to erase your whole disk with 5 different algorythms that will wipe anyhting out of them.
First i thought, umm nothing special, but to do a normal disk erasment you need a proper running OS or an boot disk with the lagorithms on it to delete a disk.
With Fujitsus new tool "erase disk" its possible to erase any disk though in that case if no OS or no proper installed OS is running on the Notebook/Computer

The 4 used algorythms are:

• Zero Pattern (1 pass) 
• German BSI/VSITR (7 passes)
• DoD 5220.22-M ECE (7 passes) 
• Guttmann (35 passes)

This will depending on disk space take 1 to 10 minutes per Gigabyte for erasment.

With this tool its possible to wipe IDE, SATA including Raid systems but no solid state drives.

Fujitsu has invented an real economy product here, i can remember when a disk of mine was broken i always borke it a lot more to get it wasted unrecoverable and the moved to trash that nobody can find it =P

Cheers folks!

Super Injunction, twitter failed

Twitter just gave away the whole user information of an member that posted news in the UK that shouldnt have shown up.
The UK uses a system or let me call it an "take-down" law that gives the government the right to take down any News they dont want to appear or be spoken out. If the Super Junction is called no one is allowed to talk or write about the happening in free places or newspapers nor on the Internet eg. Twitter.

So now on Twitter always committed and said no our users are safe, today is a bad day for twitter.

Long story short - if you post on twitter you could be charged for any post you ve done, twitter wont keep your account information safe...

Apple Iphone 4 hardware hacked!

Finally the Iphone 4 hardware got hacked and is now open for everyone.
Apple used an 256-Bit key to encrypt any data stored on the phone, GPS-Data, Usernames and passwords, phonebook entries, messages, etc... and all other related user data that is stored on the phone.

This new revealed hack now allows us to do a Backup of an apple iphone 4 and also decrypt this backup to get the data out of this solid box.

As they claim Russian company ElcomSoft has done this hack first and created an easy to use software for everyone. ElcomSoft

An sheet here shows what is possible with the light and the full edition of this software:

ElcomSoft offer this iOS 4 forensic toolkit to security and law enforcement agencies, but anyone can purchase the software to extract the encrypted data on a device.
