A Microsoft foi flagrada num paradoxo que evidencia uma provável falha de comunicação interna na empresa. Desde esta quinta (24), o Google passou a divulgar dados sobre os pedidos de remoção de conteúdo por infração de direito autoral que recebe. A Microsoft lidera a lista entre as empresas requerentes, mas, seu buscador, o Bing, não parece estar de acordo com o setor jurídico da companhia. Leia mais (25/05/2012 - 12h53)

• Bing mostra links que Google retirou a pedido da Microsoft

Hacked Skype IP Address Search Shows Who's Speaking From Where

mask.of.sanity writes "An online search portal has been launched that reveals the IP addresses of any Skype user. The portal needs only a Skype username entered in a search bar for it to produce the IP address of a target user. It then uses IP addresses to geo-locate users on a map and reveal their ISP information."

Microsoft Patches Major Hotmail 0-day Flaw After Widespread Exploitation

URL: http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/ibOTWugzWH4/microsoft-patches-major-hotmail-0-day-flaw-after-widespread-exploitation

suraj.sun writes "Microsoft quietly fixed a flaw in Hotmail's password reset system that allowed anyone to reset the password of any Hotmail account last Friday. The company was notified of the flaw by researchers at Vulnerability Lab on April 20th and responded with a fix within hours — but not until after widespread attacks, with the bug apparently spreading 'like wild fire' in the hacking community. Hotmail's password reset system uses a token system to ensure that only the account holder can reset their password — a link with the token is sent to an account linked to the Hotmail account — and clicking the link lets the account owner reset their password. However, the validation of these tokens isn't handled properly by Hotmail, allowing attackers to reset passwords of any account. Initially hackers were offering to crack accounts for $20 a throw. However, the technique became publicly known and started to spread rapidly with Web and YouTube tutorials showing the technique popping up across the Arabic-speaking Internet."

Critical Windows bug could make worm meat of millions of high-value machines

URL: http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2012/03/remote-desktop-bug-in-windows-makes-worm-meat-of-high-value-machines.ars?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss

Microsoft has plugged a critical hole in all supported versions of Windows that allows attackers to hit high-value computers with self-replicating attacks that install malicious code with no user interaction required.

The vulnerability in the Remote Desktop Protocol is of particular concern to system administrators in government and corporate settings because they often use the feature to remotely trouble-shoot e-mail servers, point-of-sale terminals and other machines when they experience problems. RDP is also the default way to manage Windows machines that connect to Amazon's EC2 and other cloud services. That means potentially millions of endpoints are at risk of being hit by a powerful computer worm that spreads exponentially, similarly to the way exploits known as Nimda and Code Red did in 2001.
