Another interesting article by our partners at hackersnewsbulletin.com on Andriod malware:
A New Malware found Lookout in Android named BadNews, its name also looks like the Malware and in 32 apps across four accounts in Google Play it is, according to the Google Play statics it has been downloaded between 2,000,000- 9,000,000 times already which is a huge number, Lookout notified about that Malware to Google  and Google promptly removed all apps and suspended the associated developer accounts pending further investigation, Lookout also claims that their all users are protected against this threat.
 
BadNews masquerades as an innocent, if somewhat aggressive advertising network. This is one of the first times that we’ve seen a malicious distribution network clearly posing as an ad network.  Because it’s challenging to get malicious bad code into Google play, the authors of Badnews created a malicious advertising network, as a front, that would push malware out to infected devices at a later date in order to pass the app scrutiny.
What Badnews can do with your device?
 
  • Send Fake News Messages
  • Prompt users to Install applications
  • Sends sensitive information like Phone Number abd Device ID to its (C&C) Server.
  • BadNews also display fake news messages in order to push out other types of monetization malware and promote affiliated apps

The most popular home wireless routers are easily hacked and there’s little you can do to stop it, says a new study by research firm Independent Security Evaluators

The Wi-Fi router you use to broadcast a private wireless Internet signal in your home or office is not only easy to hack, says a report released today, but the best way to protect yourself is out of your hands.

The report, written by research firm Independent Security Evaluators of Baltimore, found that 13 of the most popular off-the-shelf wireless routers could be exploited by a “moderately skilled adversary with LAN or WLAN access.” It also concludes that your best bet for safer Wi-Fi depends on router vendors upping their game. All 13 routers evaluated can be taken over from the local network, with four of those requiring no active management session. Eleven of the 13 can be taken over from a Wide-Area Network (WAN) such as a wireless network, with two of those requiring no active management session.
