Anonymous Increases Operation, targets Orlando

June 28th, 2011 By: THN News


(The Hosting News) – After the recent news that hacking group LulzSec is disbanding, the hacking group known as “Anonymous” is looking to continue its work in a movement that has been labeled “AntiSec.”
LulzSec announced on Saturday that it was shutting down its operation and asked its viewers to support Anonymous through Twitter.
Apparently the endorsement worked and the hacking group drastically increased its followers by around sixty-thousand.

Anonymous has claimed that members of LulzSec have joined their operation. They also recently released files pertaining to organizations like Sony and the CIA.

LulzSec gained notoriety during its 50 days of operation for breaching sites belonging to the U.S. Senate, the CIA, an FBI Affiliate, PBS, Sony, and others.

During their past breaches, both hacking groups have been politically motived.
Meanwhile, TechCrunch reported that Anonymous has already announced a new operation dubbed “Operation Orlando.”

With the new operation, Anonymous says it will target Orlando-based sites due to a recent incident involving police arresting members of Food Not Bombs. The group operates without a permit by providing homeless people with food.

Anonymous was previously suspected as being involved in April’s downtime of the PlayStation Network. However, the group denied any involvement.

In the past, Anonymous has been involved in breaches of sites belonging to different governments, including Turkey. The group also reportedly threatened to hack the U.S. Federal Reserve earlier this month.

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider SoftLayer Technologies (http://www.softalyer.com/) announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with SendGrid (http://www.sendgrid.com/) to launch its SoftLayer Email Delivery Service.

Last month SendGrid partnered with Web host Rackspace for an email infrastructure ideal for large amounts of email.
Available with any SoftLayer dedicated or CloudLayer Computing environment, SoftLayer says its email solution comes in four different packages, including a free option.

According to the press release, the email solution integrates into applications and services easily to allow customers to avoid the time and cost of developing a proprietary solution or licensing a third-party service.

“Practically every online application has email built into it in some fashion. So we wanted to provide an email delivery service our customers can easily merge and manage with their entire SoftLayer environment,” Nathan Day, chief scientist for SoftLayer said in a statement. “SendGrid’s platform was the ideal foundation for doing just that. Its extensive capabilities, performance, and features dovetail perfectly with our commitment to automation, reliability, and empowerment.”

The SoftLayer Email Delivery Service is capable of scaling up to millions of emails and provides real-time analytics.

“Application providers want to focus on pursuing their business objectives, not on creating and managing email delivery infrastructure,” Isaac Saldana, president and co-founder for SendGrid said in a statement. “We’re proud to partner with SoftLayer to offer that benefit directly to their customer base. As SoftLayer customers ourselves, we know firsthand that being able to integrate and control your whole solution in one place provides enormous efficiency advantages.”

The packages are priced based on volume of emails and other features. The free package offers 25,000 emails per month while the enterprise package allows 250,000 emails per month.

Symantec Report Finds Spam Accounts for 73 Percent of June Email

By Nicole Henderson,June 28, 2011

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Security firm Symantec (http://www.symantec.com/) announced on Tuesday that it has released its intelligence report for June 2011, combining for the first time research from its Symantec.cloud MessageLabs Intelligence Report and the Symantec State of Spam and Phishing. The report finds that spam is at its lowest level since November 2008.

According to the report, spam accounted for nearly 73 percent of email in June and more than 75 percent of this spam was sent by botnets. The global ratio of spam in email traffic decreased by 3 percent since May 2011.
“Despite the decrease in botnet spam this month, they should still be considered a dangerous force on the Internet.
Cybercriminals continue to use botnets to conduct distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS), carry out fraudulent click-thrus on unsuspecting websites for financial gain, host illegal Web site content on infected computers, harvest personal data from infected users and install spyware to track victims' activities online,” Paul Wood, senior intelligence analyst, Symantec.cloud said in a statement.

Symantec says that spam relating to pharmaceutical products accounted for 40 percent of all spam in June. The report finds adult spam continues to grow.

“Spam remains a huge problem and spam levels continue to be unpredictable. Following the disruption of Rustock in March, approximately 36.9 billion spam emails were in circulation each day during April.
This number rose to 41.7 billion in May, before falling back to 39.2 billion in June," May added.
"During the same period last year, spam accounted for 121.5 billion emails in global circulation each day, equivalent to 89.3 percent of email traffic in June 2010.
Over a twelve month period, a drop of 68.7 percent in volume resulted in a fall of only 16.4 percentage points in the overall global spam rate."

According to the report, a new spam tactic being used by pharmaceutical firms is using the prefix "Wiki" to promote fake pharmaceutical products.

Saudi Arabia was the most spammed country, according to Symantec, with a spam rate of 82 percent. In the US, 74 percent of email was spam. 72 percent of email in Canada was spam.

Phishing levels in the US were 1 in 1,270 and virus levels for email-borne malware were 1 in 805.

The public sector was the most targeted by phishing activity in June, with 1 in 84 emails containing a phishing attack.

June 27th, 2011 By: THN News

It also compromised user information including customer names and email addresses.

Citigroup contacted customers affected by the breach shortly after its discovery.
With news of the amount, CNN also reported that Citigroup will not hold those affected liable for financial losses.

Based in New York City, Citigroup operates worldwide financial services for nearly 200 million people.
Citigroup is just one of many companies to have its system hacked recently.
Lockheed Martin also admitted last month that its system had been breached.

Hackers Breach Brazilian Government Sites

June 24th, 2011 By: THN News

(The Hosting News) – Several sites belonging to the Brazilian government temporarily faced downtime after being breached by hackers on Wednesday, according to a report from Reuters.

The downtime on Wednesday lasted for over two hours and involved sites of the Brazilian president, the country’s tax agency and the government. However, the sites are now back up.
Despite the breach, a representative of the Brazilian government said that no data was stolen.

Meanwhile on Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that a site belonging to the Brazilian statistics agency faced downtime. Hacker group Fail Shell has already taken responsibility for Friday’s attack.

According to reports, the hacked site read, “This month, the Brazilian government will suffer the highest number of virtual attacks in its history. These attacks are a way of protest of a nationalist group that desires to transform Brazil into a better country.”

The attacks are just the latest in online breaches worldwide. Most recently, hacking group LulzSec has breached sites belonging to Sony, PBS, an FBI affiliate, the CIA, and Nintendo.

By Liam Eagle, June 23, 2011

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- In a post made Tuesday on the Amazon Web Services blog, the cloud computing giant announced that users of the company’s Electric Compute Cloud infrastructure as a service offering are now able to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux, with support from Amazon and Red Hat.

Amazon continues to open up its AWS ecosystem. EC2 previously allowed users to run Windows Server and a few other Linux distributions, including SUSE, Oracle and OpenSolaris. The company reportedly has plans to support Red Hat’s Fedora, as well as Debian, Ubuntu and Gentoo, in the future.

According to the post, users can now launch 32- and 64-bit instances in every AWS region and every type of EC2 instance, using versions 5.5, 5.6, 6.0 or 6.1 of RHEL.
Amazon’s Quick Start Wizard reportedly now includes a list of images that users can launch immediately.

Members of Red Hat’s Cloud Access program can use their existing licenses to launch the cloud instances. Other users are able to use RHEL On-Demand instances now, with Spot and Reserved instances to be made available in “the future.”

Complete pricing for the RHEL EC2 On-Demand instances is posted at the AWS website.

Pricing for RHEL instances starts at 14.5 cents per hour, and goes up from there, based on the size of the instance.

Users running RHEL on EC2, says Amazon, will have access to an update repository operated by Red Hat, and customers of AWS’s Premium Support service can access support from both Amazon and Red Hat.

Microsoft Partners with Web Hosts to Deliver Cloud Service Office 365

By Justin Lee,June 28, 2011

(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/) announced on Tuesday it has officially launched Microsoft Office 365 (http://office365.microsoft.com), teaming up with several hosting providers to deliver the cloud service in 40 markets.

The new service brings together Microsoft Office, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Exchange Online and Microsoft Lync Online in an always-up-to-date cloud service, at a predictable monthly subscription.

The service was introduced in beta last year, and in a few months, attracted more than 200,000 organizations registered users.

Businesses using Office 365 are already reporting impressive results and reducing IT costs by up to an estimated 50 percent while boosting productivity.

Microsoft says it is building a "massive partner ecosystem" around Office 365, including systems integrators, software vendors, resellers and other partners.

While some hosting providers may be concerned with how they will compete against Microsoft's new cloud service, many have chosen to view the new service as an opportunity to increase its market reach by partering with the company.

More than 20 service providers around the world have partnered with Microsoft by introducing plans to offer Office 365 to their customers this year.

These companies, which include Bell Canada, Intuit, NTT Communications, Telefonica, Telstra and Vodafone Group, will package Office 365 with their own services to deliver the new offerings to millions of small and midsize businesses globally.

"Great collaboration is critical to business growth, and because it’s so important, we believe the best collaboration technology should be available to everyone," said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. "With a few clicks, Office 365 levels the playing field, giving small and midsize businesses powerful collaboration tools that have given big businesses an edge for years."

Office 365 is available in a wide range of service plans designed to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes.

Users can access a centralized interface for instant messaging and virtual meetings, working on files and documents at the same time and sharing ideas.

With Office 365, applications like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote and Outlook connect to Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint and Lync to deliver a solution for communication and collaboration.

Many industry analysts believe Microsoft Office 365 will challenge Google's suite of online productivity tools.
