The malicious Koobface program(an anagram of Facebook) targets sites such as Facebook and Twitter and uses compromised legitimate websites as proxies for its main command and control server, attempting to gather sensitive information
from the victims such as credit card numbers. It was first detected in December 2008 and a more potent version appeared in March 2009 and it is unfortunately back again in 2010.

How Koobface Does the Nasty

“Koobface spreads by delivering Facebook messages to people who are ‘friends’ of a Facebook user whose computer has already been infected. Once received, the message directs recipients to a third-party website, where they are prompted to download what is purported to be an update of the Adobe Flash player. If they download and execute the file, Koobface is able to infect their system. It can then commandeer the computer’s search engine use and direct it to contaminated websites,” said Ms Gun Suk Ling, Regional Managing Director, SEA, Kaspersky Labs Asia Limited.

Among the components downloaded by Koobface are a DNS filter program that blocks access to some security websites and a proxy tool that enables the attackers to abuse the infected PC.

Increased Activity of Koobface in the Past 2 Weeks

During the past 2 weeks, the Kaspersky Lab research team has observed the Koobface live Command &Control (C&C) servers shut down or cleaned, on average, three times per day. The number dropped steadily from 107 on 25 February, to as low as 71 on 08 March. Then, in just 48 hours, the number grew from 71 to 142, precisely doubling its total number, which all Koobface-infected computers use to get remote commands and updates.

“These latest happenings give us some indications of how the Koobface gang takes care of its infrastructure”, says Stefan Tanase, Senior Regional Researcher, Kaspersky Lab EEMEA. “Based on this, we can conclude that the cybercriminals are constantly monitoring their infrastructure status. They don’t want the number of C&C servers to drop too much, as that would
mean losing their control over the botnet. When the number of active C&C servers drops to a critical level, they seem to be ready to implement dozens of new ones. The total number of Koobface C&C servers is constantly fluctuating, going from over a hundred to under a hundred and back again in a matter of weeks. It seems that when 100 C&C servers are online, the Koobface
gang is relaxed. They also prefer to have their C&C servers distributed across the globe and with different ISPs, in order to make the take-down process harder. However, most of the Koobface C&C servers remain in the United States.”

Ms Gun Suk Ling of Kaspersky Lab shared some tips for users:

Be cautious when opening links in suspicious messages, even if the sender is one of your trusted Facebook friends. Use an up-to-date, modern browser: Firefox 3.x, Internet Explorer 8, Google Chrome, Opera 10 etc.

Divulge as little personal information as possible. Do not give out your home address, telephone number or other private details.
Keep your antivirus software updated to prevent new versions of malware from attacking your computer. Kaspersky Lab users running any of the Company’s current anti-malware products are fully protected from all known variants of Koobface. Kaspersky Lab’s global team of analysts are keeping a close eye on all threats coming from the social networking space, monitoring the malicious activity and constantly updating the protection customers receive.

The Koobface command and control infrastructure can be observed when looking at the evolution of the geographical location of IP addresses used to communicate with the infected computers. The usage of C&C servers is increasing mostly in the United Stated, growing from 48 percent to 52 percent. Currently, more than half of the Koobface C&C servers are hosted in the United States, far exceeding any other country.

With more than 12 times the traffic capacity of the nearest competing system, the Cisco CRS-3 is designed to transform the broadband communication and entertainment industry by accelerating the delivery of compelling new experiences for consumers, new revenue opportunities for service providers, and new ways to collaborate in the workplace.

Overview:

• The Cisco CRS-3 triples the capacity of its predecessor, the Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System, with up to 322 Terabits per second, which enables the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress to be downloaded in just over one second; every man, woman and child in China to make a video call, simultaneously; and every motion picture ever created to be streamed in less than four minutes.
• The Cisco CRS-3 enables unified service delivery of Internet and cloud services with service intelligence spanning service provider Internet Protocol Next-Generation Networks (IP NGNs) and data center.  The Cisco CRS-3 also provides unprecedented savings with investment protection for the nearly 5,000 Cisco CRS-1 deployed worldwide.  Cisco’s cumulative investment in the Cisco CRS family is $1.6 billion, further underscoring the company’s commitment.
• AT&T, one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies, recently tested the Cisco CRS-3 in a successful completion of the world’s first field trial of 100-Gigabit backbone network technology, which took place in AT&T’s live network between New Orleans and Miami.  The trial advances AT&T’s development of the next generation of backbone network technology that will support the network requirements for the growing number of advanced services offered by AT&T to consumer and business customers, both fixed and mobile.
• The Cisco CRS-3 is currently in field trials, and its pricing starts at $90,000 U.S.

Highlights and Capabilities for the Next-Generation Internet:

• Unmatched Scale: With a proven multi-chassis architecture, the Cisco CRS-3 can deliver up to 322 tbps of capacity, more than tripling the 92 tbps capacity of the Cisco CRS-1 and representing more than 12 times the capacity of any other core router in the industry.
• Unique Core and Data Center/Cloud Services Intelligence: In addition to capacity requirements, the growths of mobile and video applications are creating new multidirectional traffic patterns with the increasing emergence of the data center cloud.  The new Cisco Data Center Services System provides tight linkages between the Cisco CRS-3, Cisco Nexus family and Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) to enable unified service delivery of cloud services.  This intelligence also includes carrier-grade IPv6 (CGv6) and core IP/MPLS technologies that permit new IP NGN architectural efficiencies required to keep pace with the rapidly growing cloud services market.  Unique capabilities include:
  • Network Positioning System (NPS) — provides Layers 3 to 7 application information for best path to content, improving consumer and business experiences while reducing costs.
  • Cloud virtual private network (VPN) for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)-enables ‘pay-as-you-go’ for compute, storage and network resources by automating Cisco CRS-3 and Cisco Nexus Inter-Data center connections for Cisco UCS.
• Unprecedented Savings: The Cisco CRS-3 offers dramatic operational expense savings and up to 60 percent savings on power consumption compared to competitive platforms.  The Cisco CRS-3 also delivers significant capital expenditures savings and investment protection for existing Cisco CRS-1 customers.  The new capabilities in the platform can be achieved by reusing the existing chassis, route processors, fans and power systems with the addition of new line cards and fabric.  These upgrades can be performed in-service and be provided by Cisco Services to ensure a smooth transition.
• Silicon Innovation: The Cisco CRS-3 is powered by the new Cisco QuantumFlow Array Processor, which unifies the combined power of six chips to work as one, enabling unprecedented levels of service capabilities and processing power.  Making this implementation even more unique is its ability to deliver capabilities with a fraction of the power required by lesser performing chipsets.  The Cisco QuantumFlow Array chipset was designed to provide the new system the ability to scale with the ever increasing demands being placed on the IP NGN by the many different applications and billions of devices being used by both businesses and consumers in the Zettabyte era.

Of the six awards given to digital cameras, three were given to Fujifilm for the Fujifilm FinePix HS10, the FinePix F80EXR and the FinePix Z700EXR. The DIMA Innovative Digital Product Award recognizes products or services that are technologically innovative or first of their kind.

“We are highly honored to receive this kind of acknowledgement from DIMA for our technical innovation,” said Go Miyazaki, division president, Electronic Imaging Division, Fujifilm North America Corporation. “For our customers, we know that every picture matters, and that’s why we continue to invest in developing new technologies that will meet the various expectations of our customers and help to broaden their photographic experiences.”

The latest addition to Fujifilm’s award-winning range of big zoom ‘bridge’ cameras, the FinePix HS10 digital camera offers an unprecedented feature set that combines a powerful Fujinon 30x (24-720mm equivalent) manual optical zoom lens with sophisticated photographic controls, advanced functionality and D-SLR-like handling in a single compact, affordable camera. The HS10 is built for speed, with a BSI-CMOS sensor, and a body design carefully crafted to make accessing controls fast and simple, so you won’t miss a shot. In addition to the Fujinon 30x Wide-Telephoto zoom lens, Triple Image Stabilization and the four new unique shooting modes, the FinePix HS10 also features a full HD movie mode (1080p) with stereo sound, combined RAW/JPEG shooting, and an Electronic Viewfinder that automatically switches the picture between the EVF and the LCD screen when the eye is withdrawn. The FinePix HS10 will be available in April 2010 at a retail price of $499.95.

The Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR digital camera is a sleek, compact digital camera that combines intuitive use with Fujifilm’s award winning EXR technology and the most advanced features available in a point-and-shoot digital camera. Improving on that award winning technology for 2010, this new EXR sensor provides the F80EXR with an EXR AUTO feature with a selectable sensor mode, highly acclaimed for its low light shooting abilities.

And the F80EXR will prioritize focus and exposure, using AF and AE settings, right on the faces of those special people. Users can also use Image Search to view images of a registered person. In addition, this camera has a Pet Detection feature that automatically detects either a dog’s or a cat’s face, optimizes AF and AE, and can even activate the Auto Shutter feature when the pet faces the camera, reducing missed shots. Encased in a beautifully sculpted metal shell with a double coated lacquer finish and measuring only 22.9 mm thin*, the FinePix F80EXR will be available in April 2010 at a retail price of $299.95.

The Fujifilm FinePix Z700EXR digital camera is the first FinePix model with a touch screen and an innovative intuitive GUI for shooting, sharing and organizing photos. The FinePix Z700EXR combines a massive 3.5” LCD with a 12-MegaPixel Super CCD EXR sensor, a Fujinon 5x Periscopic optical zoom lens (36-180mm equivalent) and ISO levels of up to 3200 at full resolution with an innovative GUI that puts intuitive touch screen technology into the hands of its users. In fact, one feature, Touch Shot, provides the ability for one touch focus and shooting for easy photo taking, adjusting the AF and AE settings and activating the shutter, all with just the touch of one finger. The Z700EXR also has Face Recognition and Pet Detection, plus HD Movie capture. At only 16.9mm* thin, the FinePix Z700EXR is housed inside a full metal chassis, and will be available March 2010 at a retail price of $279.95.
