Domain Hijacking

Domain hijacking is a process by which Internet Domain Names are stolen from it’s legitimate owners. Domain hijacking is also known as domain theft. Before we can proceed to know how to hijack domain names, it is necessary to understand how the domain names operate and how they get associated with a particular web server (website). The operation of domain name is as follows : Any website say for example gohacking.com consists of two parts. The domain name (gohacking.com) and the web hosting server where the files of the website are actually hosted. In reality, the domain name and the web hosting server (web server) are two different parts and hence they must be integrated before a website can operate successfully. The integration of domain name with the web hosting server is done as follows. 1. After registering a new domain name, we get a control panel where in we can have a full control of the domain. 2. From this domain control panel, we point our domain name to the web

Your mouse may actually be a RAT in disguise

Security researchers have discovered a Trojan that attaches its malicious code to routines normally used only to control the inputs from mouse clicks. The tactic is designed to smuggle malicious code past automated threat analysis systems. During such procedures there's no user input and certainly no mouse moving and clicking. The malicious code is designed to remain inactive unless the mouse itself is in use, giving a fair chance that the RAT (remote access Trojan) will remain undetected. The growing volume of malware means automated threat analysis systems are increasingly important. Only the more unusual analysis work gets passed on to human analysts. Even if the mouse-attached RAT gets caught out at this stage it still gains extra longevity. The development means that anti-virus firms will probably need to include a virtual mouse clicker and nudger in their automated analysis routines. The sneaky mouse-hogging malware was detected by security researcher

Protect your cloud storage from hacking

The concept of cloud storage has become more common these days especially when offered commercially since it's more cost effective for a large corporation to store data on an off-site data center. It is cheaper and they don't have to worry about finding space for storing data on server which can be the size of a warehouse. However, at individual level, it is preferred less over local storage devices like flash drive, hard drive and disk drive. What is cloud storage? To talk about the security level of cloud storage, we'll first have to talk about what cloud storage is. Cloud storage is an off-site data warehouse where data is transferred and stored. It can be accessed anywhere in the world provided an Internet access is available. You can store virtually anything in a cloud storage model. I say virtually, because you are transferring it over the Internet on a web-based interface or Application Programming Interface (API) so it makes it seem like
