Hundreds of lunchtime customers of a diner in the US city of Memphis are
believed to have had funds stolen from their debit and credit cards
after PCs at the venue became infected with malware.

Large numbers of customers reported having had funds taken after using
Jason’s Deli in recent weeks, which prompted an investigation by the US
Secret Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security.

After establishing that staff were not involved, police discovered that
a computer system used by to verify credit cards had been infected with
unidentified new-variant malware, which had logged and forwarded the
data to criminals believed to be in Russia.

“The computers received a virus that was unknown before this event,”
said Special Agent Rick Harlow of the US Secret Service in a news
conference. “No antivirus program that we ran against it found it,” he
said.

RE: [ISN] Russian Trojan blamed for credit card losses at US diner

2010-09-03 Thread Carl Houseman

Problem here, everyone seems so surprised that the infection was not detected 
by antivirus, and presumably, had no noticeable side effects on computer 
operation.  It needs to get into the public discourse and become common 
knowledge that AV is not enough.

 Hundreds of lunchtime customers of a diner in the US city of Memphis are
 believed to have had funds stolen from their debit and credit cards
 after PCs at the venue became infected with malware.

 Large numbers of customers reported having had funds taken after using
 Jason’s Deli in recent weeks, which prompted an investigation by the US
 Secret Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security.

 After establishing that staff were not involved, police discovered that
 a computer system used by to verify credit cards had been infected with
 unidentified new-variant malware, which had logged and forwarded the
 data to criminals believed to be in Russia.

 “The computers received a virus that was unknown before this event,”
 said Special Agent Rick Harlow of the US Secret Service in a news
 conference. “No antivirus program that we ran against it found it,” he
 said.

Re: [ISN] Russian Trojan blamed for credit card losses at US diner

I've been trying to convince my wife we need to go all credit card. One of
my concerns has always been something like this, and it hits our checking
account. Once that happens, you're really in trouble.
A credit card theft like this is much more manageable.
I know a lot of people who use a debit card at restaurants. That just
freaks me out. Who knows if that waiter isn't also scavenging CC numbers?
It's unlikely, but it's one of those cases that when it happens, you're
going to be in a mess for a while, more so if your checking account is
involved.

2010-09-03 Thread Ziots, Edward

I am totally not surprised, why I have said that AV is next to useless these 
days, because the hackers, and malware authors are creating malware that 
specifically can't be detected by modern AV. 

Again, control the code execution, you have a better chance at keeping the 
Malware off the system. ( Abiet not 100% fullproof)

RE: [ISN] Russian Trojan blamed for credit card losses at US diner

2010-09-03 Thread Ziots, Edward

+1, 

 

But again people are going cash-only these days because of the economy,
and they are thinking that the debit card is tied to the available cash
they have on hand which is tied to their bank account. It takes one nice
XSS/CSRF attack via a malicious webpage while you are viewing your
bank-system and whamo, they just stole your money, hijacked your cookie
on your machine to replay to the server to access your account, and
steal your money accordingly. 

 

Its pretty sick what the web application attacks can do these days, it
isnt just about waiters stealing CC Card numbers with card swiping
machines anymore, its organized crime behind a lot of these attacks, and
they want only one thing, your money...

I've been trying to convince my wife we need to go all credit card.  One
of my concerns has always been something like this, and it hits our
checking account.  Once that happens, you're really in trouble.  

A credit card theft like this is much more manageable.
I know a lot of people who use a debit card at restaurants.  That just
freaks me out.  Who knows if that waiter isn't also scavenging CC
numbers?  It's unlikely, but it's one of those cases that when it
happens, you're going to be in a mess for a while, more so if your
checking account is involved.

 Hundreds of lunchtime customers of a diner in the US city of Memphis
are
 believed to have had funds stolen from their debit and credit cards
 after PCs at the venue became infected with malware.

 Large numbers of customers reported having had funds taken after
using
 Jason's Deli in recent weeks, which prompted an investigation by the
US
 Secret Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security.

 After establishing that staff were not involved, police discovered
that
 a computer system used by to verify credit cards had been infected
with
 unidentified new-variant malware, which had logged and forwarded the
 data to criminals believed to be in Russia.

 The computers received a virus that was unknown before this event,
 said Special Agent Rick Harlow of the US Secret Service in a news
 conference. No antivirus program that we ran against it found it,
he
 said.

Excel Sharing Violation

I've looked all over the intertubes and haven't found anything to help
resolve the following issue

 

We have several users that share a workbook in Excel 2010 (on windows
7), all can access the workbook and save except one user.  When the one
user goes to save they get the following error: Your changes could not
be saved to filename because of a sharing violation.  Try saving to a
different file.  When you click on help, it mentions that the
antivirus active protection is causing the issue.  We have Vipre
Enterprise Premium installed and when I looked at the active
protection/quarantine/blocked items there's nothing there.  Here are the
steps I've taken so far:

 

-  Stopped the Vipre services, opened the excel workbook and
still receive the same error

-  Checked the NIC properties, all set accordingly

-  Checked that the computer was part of the domain and it's on
the correct domain

-  Checked the workbooks permissions on the network share and
the user has full rights

-  Switched the user from Power User to Administrator and still
the same error comes up

-  Removed and then recreated the users profile in windows and
still the same error comes up

-  Checked the users account properties in AD to confirm that
the account wasn't locked out and that they were a member in the correct
groups

 

At a loss here on what could be causing this.

RE: Excel Sharing Violation

Here's a question. have you tried logging on as that user to a *different*
workstation? If so, try blowing away that user's profile and recreating it.
I've seen really odd stuff happen with respect to profiles. stuff like no
longer having access to their profile if you change 'em from admin to user,
etc.

That's what I was thinking and then removed and recreated the user's

I've looked all over the intertubes and haven't found anything to help
resolve the following issue

 

We have several users that share a workbook in Excel 2010 (on windows
7), all can access the workbook and save except one user.  When the one
user goes to save they get the following error: Your changes could not
be saved to filename because of a sharing violation.  Try saving to a
different file.  When you click on help, it mentions that the
antivirus active protection is causing the issue.  We have Vipre
Enterprise Premium installed and when I looked at the active
protection/quarantine/blocked items there's nothing there.  Here are the
steps I've taken so far:

 

-  Stopped the Vipre services, opened the excel workbook and
still receive the same error

-  Checked the NIC properties, all set accordingly

-  Checked that the computer was part of the domain and it's on
the correct domain

-  Checked the workbooks permissions on the network share and
the user has full rights

-  Switched the user from Power User to Administrator and still
the same error comes up

-  Removed and then recreated the users profile in windows and
still the same error comes up

-  Checked the users account properties in AD to confirm that
the account wasn't locked out and that they were a member in the correct
groups

 

At a loss here on what could be causing this.

Re: Excel Sharing Violation

Do you image?  If so, reimaging may be in order.  Since you've determined it
is that user on that particular computer that seems to be the problem.  You
could spend a lot of time going down the rabbit hole, but if you image your
computer, you might spend less time.

Barring that, I'm running out of ideas.
Are there differences in Windows versions involved here?  Excel Versions?
Service packs and updates for Windows  Office applied at the same level?
You also indicated that there was a problem if you opened a copy as well as
the original.  What if the copy is on the local computer?  While it is
unlikely to be anything network related, because others on that computer can
open it without issue, it's another possiblity that needs to be accoutned
for.

slow transfers:was MSA30 woes

2010-09-03 Thread Bill Humphries

Okay, this one is making my head hurt.  I'm still investigating why my 
500gig backup is taking 80 hours.  It looks like it isn't a disk i/o 
problem.  It looks like I have extremely slow data transfers from the 
mail server to the backup server. Using perfmon on both machines shows 
no packet loss or errors.  The switches think everything is hunky-dory.  
I even moved the two machines to the same physical switch and no 
change.  While transferring a file from the mail server both NICs show 
1% utilization.  If I move data the other way I see 25-50% utlization 
and a proper transfer speed.  I have stopped any antivirus services on 
both machines.


What gives?  What else should I be looking at?

Thanks.

Bill

Do you image?  If so, reimaging may be in order.  Since you've
determined it is that user on that particular computer that seems to be
the problem.  You could spend a lot of time going down the rabbit hole,
but if you image your computer, you might spend less time.

 

Barring that, I'm running out of ideas.

Are there differences in Windows versions involved here?  Excel
Versions?  Service packs and updates for Windows  Office applied at the
same level?

You also indicated that there was a problem if you opened a copy as well
as the original.  What if the copy is on the local computer?  While it
is unlikely to be anything network related, because others on that
computer can open it without issue, it's another possiblity that needs
to be accoutned for.

RE: slow transfers:was MSA30 woes

Firstly, I will say the 6400 is slow, I had one...

Just for the fact you said 6400/msa30, I am sure your bottle neck lies there, 
but if you had good hardware throughout I would have these thoughts:
1. Trunking in switches set right wrt the trunk config in the adapter team? 
I've been blown away by what works (sort of) when things aren't right so it 
wasn't immediately obvious...
2. Use netperf for windows to see what actual bandwidth is between the hosts? 
Transferring files *does* not show this, if the target can't write as fast as 
the network, or the source can't read as fast as the network, you get the 
picture.
3. Maybe use IOZone or something else to gauge real disc throughput?

BTW, did this once work well? If so, I had a 6400 behind an MSA20 (An even 
bigger steaming pile of sh!t) and both the 6400's battery and one of the two 
bats in the chassis died without showing an error, it wasn't till I was in the

Ok, after much gnashing of teeth, I've gotten transfer rates to a normal 
level.  It seems that Large Send Offload was enabled on the NICs 
driver options on the mail server.  I disabled this and things starting 
traveling at respectable speeds. 

JLC,  I feel your pain.  I went to connect the EMU on the MSA to the 
network and realized it was dead. 

I don't know how long this bottleneck has been going on.  I just got 
involved when I found out the person managing backups mentioned the 
information store backup took 80 hours.  No idea how long he had been 
taking it for granted that that was normal.

Mac and Windows mix

2010-09-03 Thread David Lum

I would like to hear from those of you who have a mixed Windows/Mac 
environments: How do you handle management of the diverse environment? 
Presumably with Mac's there is no patching or AV. Can you use GPO's on them in 
any fashion (wondering if there's some add-in to allow equivalency).

RE: Mac and Windows mix

2010-09-03 Thread Brian Desmond

Likewise, Quest, and Centrify all have products that will give you integration 
and some sort of GP Mgmt.

Some customers run Virex on Macs, others don't. In general this whole thing is 
a PITA, especially with the bipolar Intel Mac Hardware.

Thanks,

  There very much is patching for the Macintosh.  Apple releases
security updates for their own stuff, and other vendors may as well.
For example, are you planning on running MS Office?  That gets
patches.

  There was AV software for the classic Macintosh System Software, and
I expect there is AV software for Mac OS X as well.  Contrary to
popular belief, malware does exist on the Mac platform.  I've even
seen a few reports of OS-level malware for OS X, but I'm referring
more to macro viruses/worms.  I know a few years ago document macro
malware was prolly an even bigger problem on the Mac than on the PC,
thanks to all the Mac people who were convinced they were magically
immune to security threats and thus were unaware their networks were
teaming with malware-infected documents.

  Macs are computers.  They will have all the needs, problems,
challenges, etc., etc., etc., that every other computer platform has
had since computers were invented.

2010-09-03 Thread S Powell

OH there are patches they are just different. software update does
not like to be run by normal users only admins, so you have to
manually install or allow the users to run as admin ug



Are you planning on any mac servers, because that is a whole new level
of fun

We don't run AV, but i do have ClamX on my macbook for fun.  while the
mac may not get infected with a windows virus, they can pass them on
so you do have to be careful there.

There are other things to be aware of, but we've had good luck.  I
love the Mac, I am an utter fan boy, but I would say that unless users
are used to the mac I'd be resistant on letting the users lose with
them in a windows office.

RE: Mac and Windows mix

2010-09-03 Thread David Lum

  Macs are computers.  They will have all the needs, problems, challenges, 
etc., etc., etc., that every other computer platform has
had since computers were invented.

Exactly, my point is I want to make it clear to my org that if we have a bunch 
of Mac's on our LAN that are to be treated the same as Windows machines that 
some of our existing tools/skillets will NOT be 100% directly applicable to the 
Macs. We use GPO's set LCS settings, IE favorites, Computer use disclaimer at 
startup pre-logon, screen saver timeout, etc.

So, approving Mac for corporate use would mean purchasing additional software 
(Quest or similar) and at least some additional training and it's just yeah 
let's buy a Mac instead of a PC and run with it.

While I don't have a huge problem with Mac's used as workstations, I'd like to 
make upper management aware of the considerations of replacing a PC with a Mac 
in the workplace for a department or two.

Current Mac count in place of PC:1, but I can see a precedent...
