Up to 37% of Enterprise Computers Vulnerable to Microsoft Office Zero-day

Up to 37% of Enterprise Computers Vulnerable to Microsoft Office Zero-day | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From community.websense.com - November 7, 2013 6:53 PM

Our initial research of the exploit indicates that this vulnerability is capable of affecting Microsoft Office versions 2003, 2007, and 2010 (Office 2010 vulnerability is limited to Windows XP and Server 2003 operating systems) and that it will fail on machines viewing the documents in protected mode (ActiveX support in documents disabled). While it is not easy to determine if computers have ActiveX enabled for Office documents, it is possible to profile vulnerable combinations of Microsoft Windows and Office to help understand the attack surface.

 

Our telemetry feeds indicate the following breakdown of Microsoft Office versions deployed in enterprise environments:

 

- Office 2003 - 5%

 

- Office 2007 - 30%

 

- Office 2010 - 41%

 

- Office 2013 - 14%

 

Beyond practicing due diligence in opening any attachments arriving by email, it is recommended that all users of the affected Office versions install Microsoft Fix it 51004. Websense will continue to monitor any developments related to the use of this vulnerability in future attacks.

From blogs.technet.com - December 3, 2012 12:01 PM

Calling all young people between the ages of 13 and 18*: Do you sing, act, write, or otherwise create? Get those creative juices flowing; put your “mad (artistic) skillz” to work, and help promote a positive message about life online.

 

Today, Microsoft is launching its first-ever Safer Online Teen Challenge. Teens are encouraged to submit creative works that champion one of many key messages ===> about being smarter and more secure on the Internet. <===

 

Works must be submitted by April 12, 2013, and our hundreds of thousands of thoughtful and learned Facebook fans will help select winners in five inspired categories: song, story/cartoon, skit/presentation, survey, and video.

 

                    ===> BE SMART and START! ;) <===

 

============================================

Microsoft et Symantec ferment un botnet touchant 8 millions de PC

Microsoft et Symantec ferment un botnet touchant 8 millions de PC | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.clubic.com - February 7, 2013 7:56 AM

Microsoft annonce avoir fermé un nouveau botnet en collaboration avec Symantec et affectant les requêtes des internautes sur les moteurs de recherche. 

 


Sur l'un de ses blogs officiels, Microsoft explique que le botnet en question, Bamital, était constitué d'environ huit millions d'ordinateurs zombies. Ces derniers étaient infectés d'un malware modifiant les liens cibles au sein des moteurs de recherche. Ce click jacking était opéré sur Google, Bing et Yahoo! ainsi que sur leurs plateformes publicitaires.

Know your enemy - protect yourself - Microsoft Malware Protection Center

Know your enemy - protect yourself - Microsoft Malware Protection Center | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From blogs.technet.com - October 22, 2012 8:39 AM

Of the many weapons and tricks in an attacker’s arsenal, none is more dangerous or insidious than the ability to hide and continuously compromise a system from within.

 

This is the role of a rootkit. Malware uses rootkits, or rootkit functionality, in order to hide their presence on an affected computer and thus impede their removal.

 

===> Once compromised by a rootkit, any information returned by an affected system can no longer be trusted and must be regarded as suspect (which is exactly how they hide themselves and their components from you - by modifying requests for information that might give them away). <===

 

===> Know your enemy and protect yourself by learning about these threats. <===

Critical Security Fixes from Adobe, Microsoft

Critical Security Fixes from Adobe, Microsoft | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From krebsonsecurity.com - August 14, 2012 3:55 PM

Adobe and Microsoft each issued security updates today to fix critical vulnerabilities in their software. Adobe’s fixes include a patch for a Flash Player flaw that is actively being exploited to break into Windows computers. Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday release includes nine patch bundles — more than half of them rated critical — addressing at least 27 security holes in Windows and related software.

 

Nevertheless, the underlying vulnerability being targeted exists in Windows, Mac and Linux versions of the software. Windows and Mac users can grab the latest version (v. 11.3.300.271) via the Flash Player download center.

 

Be sure to uncheck the “free” software scans that Adobe loves to bundle with updates, such as McAfee‘s obnoxious Security Scan Plus, if you don’t want it. Linux users should update to v. 11.2.202.238, and Chrome users want to be at v. 11.3.330.270 (normally Chrome auto-updates Flash, but recently it’s been sluggish to do so: my Chrome installation is still at v. 11.3.31.225. I will update this post in a bit with the direct links to the Flash Player downloads.

Tackling cybersecurity together > Microsoft Europe

Tackling cybersecurity together > Microsoft Europe | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.microsoft.eu - June 13, 2012 11:18 AM
Where Europe succeeds, we succeed

Europe matters to us. For the past thirty years, it’s been our aim to help fuel the European economy...

 

The Web has prompted tremendous growth and innovation over the last two decades, but also a new set of challenges.

 

Cybersecurity has emerged as a significant global threat. Every day more than a million people are successfully targeted by cyber criminals.

 

===> That’s a new victim every 14 seconds. <===

 

Malicious attacks are mushrooming and conservative estimates put the annual cost of cybercrime at $114 billion. Given this, it’s hardly surprising that the World Economic Forum’s Risk Response Network recently elevated cybersecurity to a top five global risk, alongside issues such as income inequality, rising greenhouse gas emissions and fiscal imbalances.

 

Gust MEES: in the word ICT = "I", meaning "Information", so this is necessary in Education especially! IT-Security in 21st Century is a need to get included in curriculum, it's the responsibility of Education to teach IT-Security and Internet-Safety...

By knowing that every 14 seconds there is a new victim to cybercriminals I hope that educators and teachers will see the importance of preparing best their learners to be best protected, even if they need to learn themselves about it, we are ALL "Life Long Learners" ;)
