Julianne Hough leaked photos published subsequent to phone hack

Nov 25

Posted by lole in hackers, hijack. | No Comments

Julianne Hough is famous in the United States not now for being an actress and country music singer, and dating “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest, but also for having won ABC’s “Dancing with the stars” TV show two times.

 

So, barely the kind of woman who you would think would require resorting to a cheap publicity stunt to raise her profile.

But no hesitation there are skeptics who are right now wonder if the news that her mobile phone was “hacked” and one hundred of her confidential photographs published on the net is not anything more than a way of gaining attention.

Since she surely is getting notice from various showbiz websites – with some flagrantly republishing photographs which are most probably stolen property with headlines like

Julianne Hough Gets Hacked – Check Out Her Sexy Bikini & Cleavage Shots!

 

There’s nothing chiefly salacious to be establish in the photos that have been in print – Julianne has a standing for being a “good girl” – but clearly the photos of her posing in her bikini and sunbathing were intended for her eyes only (or at least hers and perhaps Ryan Seacrest’s). Those eager for titillating images of the dancer topless or doing a watusi with Ryan Seacrest will be mightily disappointed.

 

iPhoneA quick check of Miss Hough’s Twitter feed reveal that she usually posts messages from her Apple iPhone.

 

It’s unclear how photos would have been stolen from the iPhone, if not an important person else had physical right of entry to the device, to a computer the iPhone had been synched with, or if the photos had been uploaded to the net in some way (in the case of the latter it’s not really a phone hack is it?)

 

Yet, there’s some very simple advice I can give to any promising starlet who might be worried about Yprivate photos of themselves leaking into the public.

Malware attack poses as bloody photos of Gaddafi’s death

Nov 24

Posted by lole in Celebrity Death Hoaxs, Malicious hackers | No Comments

Gaddafi The bereavement of Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi has almost unavoidably resulted in cybercriminals captivating advantage of the news story, and the universal public’s apparent interest in viewing ghoulish photos and videos of his previous moments.

 

Malicious hackers have spammed out an attack posing as pictures of Gaddafi’s death, trick users into believe that they came from the AFP news agency and are life form forwarded by a fellow internet user.

 

A typical message looks like this:

 

Subject: Fw: AFP Photo News: Bloody Photos: Libya dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s Death

Message body:

Libya dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s Death

 

Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, the most required man in the world, has been killed, the country’s rebel government claim Oct. 20. The flamboyant oppressors who terrorize his country and much of the world during his 42 years of despotic rule was cornered by insurgents in the town of Sirte, where Gadhafi had been natural and a stranglehold of his supporters.

 

Windows computer users who decompress the emotionally involved file are put their PCs at risk of infection. The RAR archive file creates a malicious file called:

Bloody Photos_Gadhafi_Death\Gadhafi?rar.scr

Although there has been much conjecture in the media about the option of Gaddafi-related malware attacks and scams, this is the first one that I’ve seen since the death of Gaddafi made news headlines around the world the past.

Internet users would be wise to keep in mind to be very cautious about the links they click on, and to be suspicious of unsolicited attachment.

Johnny Depp has NOT died in a car crash, but hackers utilize rumours

Aug 16

Posted by lole in hackers, Twitter Haoxs | No Comments

Hollywood film actor Johnny Depp, well-known for his role in Edward Scissor hands, Sleepy Hollow and Pirates of the Caribbean, becomes the unsuspecting star of an internet hoax which increase extensively this weekend.

 

 

Blameless internet user were fooled by the hoax, dispersal messages to their online friends that the popular film star, who lives in France with his partner Vanessa Paradis, had come to a sad end at the side of a road in Bordeaux. The bogus information claim that the 46-year-old actor had die in a drunken car crash, often connecting to a webpage which apparently restricted a CNN news report, including a photograph of the wreckage.

 

Though, the webpage (despite appearance to the casual browser) wasn’t in fact on CNN’s website at all.

Fraction of the report reads:

 

 

Johnny Depp’s car was found alongside a road exterior Bordeaux, France, with the protector rail entrenched deep in the car.

A tourist was heavy downward the road when he saw a car wreck alongside the road. He step out and try to see if anybody was in there as his wife dialed the police for help.

To his disappointment, he found the body in the car among liquor bottles.

The police arrived at the scene shortly after and pulled out the body of the former actor, Johnny Depp.

 

Many people forwarded on messages about Depp’s death making “Johnny Depp RIP” a trending topic on Twitter, which helped to fuel the rumour and spread it even further and faster. The only problem was, inevitably, that the people hadn’t checked their facts before passing on the news. Johnny Depp, I’m delighted to report, hasn’t died in a car crash. In addition, as you can see in the video below, hackers have taken advantage of the situation – spreading malware on sites claiming to contain footage of Johnny Depp’s car crash

Eddie Murphy deceased Reports guide original Celebrity Death Hoaxes

Aug 12

Posted by lole in Celebrity Death Hoaxs, hackers, hijack. | No Comments

Eddie Murphy dead reports the past were hard to believe. The Eddie Murphy dead rumor was rapidly debunk during one of the busier days of debunking celebrity death reports.

 

The Internet kills off tons of celebrities at any given time, but the death mill had been calm over the last few months. It was invigorated when they incorrectly reported Aretha Franklin had died, but it was just the start. Not only was Murphy dead by Internet hoaxes the past, so were Owen Wilson, Charlie Sheen and Adam Sandler this week.

 

 

In the case of all these actors/comedians, they were all reported to have died from snowboarding accidents. These days, the hoaxes can’t even be distinctive anymore, as they are both untrue and unoriginal.The rumors that Wilson and Murphy had died broke yesterday; right after the theoretical death of Aretha Franklin was debunked. Sheen and Sandler also had to show they were still alive this week as well. It has been a while since so many famous people died online, but the death mill is making up for its break now.

 

Many populace have been kill more than once online yet always handle to come back to be digitally killed again. It seems that, the Internet believes they cannot snowboard, as Murphy, Wilson, Sandler and Sheen were all killed off at Switzerland’s Zermatt Ski Resort.

 

It’s unclear why the Eddie Murphy hoaxes, and all the other ones, are taking place now. It had been a long time since the Internet killed off this many celebrities, but it seems it is ending the year with a bang. Since so many of them were supposedly killed from snowboarding, this would be the ideal time of year to make that stick.

 

In Murphy’s case, his representative had to emerge and confirm he was still alive. The star doesn’t often make the publicity rounds himself, and has no new movies to promote at the moment. So since he usually avoids the tabloid eye nowadays, the hoaxers likely thought it would be easier to get away with their rumors.Instead, the Estory went away quickly, like the ones that killed Wilson, Sandler, Sheen and Franklin. Claiming that Sheen and Franklin died fooled more people, given Sheen’s lifestyle and Franklin’s current illness. Yet since the three comedians in the bunch have no such problems – presumably – it was easier to debunk their demises.

 

Given the rash of fake celebrity deaths lately, it stands to wonder who will be killed off today and tomorrow. Since they already said Murphy was dead, the pranksters have to pick other icons – but that hasn’t been a problem for them.

Bill Cosby Death Hoax Peaks once more nowadays on Twitter

Aug 11

Posted by lole in Celebrity Death Hoaxs, hijack., Twitter Haoxs | No Comments

So far one more celebrity death hoax strike the internet and as a trending topic on Twitter. Go figure. So far this year Bill Cosby has died three, four, and five times, so they say on Twitter.

According to the hoaxers, he died in February, March and August of 2010. However, Bill Cosby also died in February and March of 2009. One tweet posted dates of Bill Cosby’s death hoax being March 29, 2007, April 1, 2007, June 23, 2009, and today, August 2, 2010.

 

After doing a Google look for for Bill Cosby Died, I found he died, March 24 and 25, 2010, and July 25, 2010. Including today’s Twitter trend, Bill Cosby has died at least 5 times in 2010.

Currently there are moreover a lot of Bill Cosbys in the world or an important person like to get off on live such a sick prank. Since I did the Google of Bill Cosby, the actor and comic is the only one that has came up as any orientation to a Bill Cosby dying.

Though the hoax of Bill Cosby’s death hasn’t hit Google trends as of 2:47 P.M. CST. Since I have heard nil on the news, CNN, Fox, or otherwise, Bill Cosby is still alive, kicking, and cracking jokes at the age of 73.

As citing my source for this article, I went back to Twitter for the “Bill Cosby Died” link. Another Twitter tendency came up “Bill Cosby ain’t dead” showed as a Twitter trend.

So folks until you hear it on the news or read it in the paper, don’t believe Bill Cosby is dead.

Aug 10

Posted by lole in Facebook Hackers, hackers | No Comments

Gordon Ramsay, the continually cussing celebrity chef who has won 12 Michelin stars, is suing members of his wife’s family next claims that they used spyware to hack into his individual and company emails.

Chris Hutcheson, the father of Ramsay’s wife Tana, was sacked as managing director of the dirty-mouthed dough puncher’s restaurant empire previous October, amid a blizzard of accusations from together sides.

According to media reports, Ramsay’s High Court summons claims that, with the assist of an IT specialist called Kevin Fung, Hucheson and other members of his family stole passwords with key logging spyware, and used them to right to use secret emails.

 

Hmm… I wonder if Ramsay had a four-letter password.

It is more claims that Jennifer Aves-Eliott, Gordon Ramsay’s individual assistant, was also under attack – with spyware capture 1,868 snapshots of what was appear on her computer screen.

Gordon Ramsay assets confirmed last November that 46-year-old Fung, from Leyton, East London, had been balanced from his post at the company pending an IT investigation.

It doesn’t noise to me like this is leaving to be a family feud that is ever going to be patched up.

If you desire your own individual and business life to turn out to be less unattractive than Gordon Ramsay’s, then one thing I would suggest is ensure that you and your staff are on their guard against malware attack, and keep your suspicion up-to-date.c

Breaking news: Counterfeit statement of Fidel Castro’s death lead to malware assault

Aug 8

Posted by lole in Celebrity Death Hoaxs | No Comments

Exist on your protector if you take delivery of an email apparently from Chile’s “24 Horas” news website announce the death of Fidel Castro, the former dictator of Cuba.


The spammed out messages, which are written in Spanish, look like the following:

The messages have a topic line of

Murio Fidel Castro



 

And the text in the emails claims that the longtime Cuban ruler died in the afternoon at his home, and that official claim that he was in use ill a few days ago after suffering a unexpected heart attack.

Recipients are urging to click on the image to see a breaking news video report about Fidel Castro’s death.

 

Of course, if Castro was actually dead (it’s believed that he has been in very poor health for some years) then it would be headline news on the likes of the BBC and CNN. But I haven’t seen any reports from those news outlets.

So don’t be fooled into clicking on the links in this email, as they will take your computer to a Trojan horse (which Sophos detects as Troj/DwnLdr-JGW) that in turns downloads further malicious code (Troj/Agent-SYF) onto your Windows PC.

BREAKING: Lady Gaga Found Dead in Hotel Room

This is the most awful day in US history

 

Wow. I denote, yes, it would be tragic if Lady Gaga were to die, but.. Seriously.. “The most awful day in US history”?Anyway, if you are tricked into clicking on the link you are taken in the end (via a website which sloppily allows an open redirect) to a webpage that pretends to contain a BBC News video report:

 

Watch out, though, if you try to play the video as this is a clickjacking scam which attempt to silently say you “Like” the page when you click with your mouse.

Users who have installed a browser add-on such a No Script for Firefox will see a message caution them of the peril of being click jacked.

If you’ve been hit by a scam like this, remove the messages and likes from your Facebook page – and caution your friends not to click on the offending links. Clearly there’s much more work which wants to be done by Facebook to prevent these sorts of messages spreading so fast.
