WordPress.org is being targeted once again, and although this time there isn't much sneaky sophistication, the infection is still prevalent enough for Internet users to be wary.
Spam appears to be the driver of these campaigns. Various websites have already been identified to be redirecting to Blackhole exploit kit.

What is the definition of cybercrime? Two weeks ago, the "Cybersecurity Act of 2012" was introduced in the U.S. Senate.
The bill (S.2105) is designed to protect critical infrastructure such as water, energy, and transportation. It directs the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to coordinate with network operators on developing security standards. A related bill, the "Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2012" (S.2102) was introduced on February 13th.
Naturally, civil liberties group such as the EFF and EPIC examined the legislation. They say it's too broad.

After all, the definition of "cybercrime" has been established for years now.

Oxford Muses on Mac Flashback: Worst Outbreak Since Blaster
So how bad was last month's Mac Flashback outbreak and who suffered the most? Our guess: it was bad, and university IT help desks.
And it looks like our guess might not be far off the mark.
===> Oxford University Computing Services' network security team (aka OxCERT) has written that they dealt "with what is probably the biggest outbreak since Blaster struck the Windows world all the way back in the summer of 2003." <===
OxCERT dealt with around 1000 incidents for Blaster. They've seen several hundred Flashback incidents… "and they keep on coming."

A new Flashback variant (Mac malware) has been spotted exploiting CVE-2012-0507 (a Java vulnerability). We've been anticipating something like this for a while now.
Oracle released an update that patched this vulnerability back in February… for Windows.
===> But — Apple hasn't released the update for OS X (yet). <===

On Monday, I provided steps on how to avoid your Mac being compromised by the Flashback trojan. Today I will provide information on how to locate a Flashback infection.
To better understand the steps below, it is better to also know a bit about Flashback. It's an OS X malware family that modifies the content displayed by web browsers. To achieve this, it interposes functions used by the Mac's browsers.
The hijacked functions vary between variants but generally include CFReadStreamRead and CFWriteStreamWrite: read more...

From April to December 2011, there have been several dozen new Mac threats.
Well, that's nothing when compared to Windows malware — but it's definitely something when compared to the number of Mac threats seen prior to 2011.
We expect more of the same for 2012.
