09/01/2012 - Symantec confirms theft of some of its source code
Security specialist Symantec said some of its source code has been stolen by hackers and exposed, but said it was unsure if the security breech would impact "the functionality or security of Symantec's solutions."
Code for the company's Norton anti-virus software wasn't compromised, the company said, but two older products, Endpoint Protection 11.0 and Symantec Anti-Virus 10.2, were affected.
The company said the code was stolen from a third-party, not from its own network.
Industry experts said that because the code was from older products, "it is likely it has evolved quite a bit."
"That said, if there are any core functions that have not evolved, then hackers could take a look at Symantec's source code and find ways to manipulate it," added Robert Rachwald, director of security strategy at Imperva, an Internet security company.
Symantic's Endpoint Protection is four years old, the company said. It's designed to keep outbound data from being leaked. It has undergone regular updating. Symantec Anti-virus 10.2 was five years old and has been discontinued, although it's still supported by the company.

26/05/2010 - Report: VoIP Cyber-Security Risks Predicted to Raise Insurance Rates
Spurred
by the lure of low cost, the unregulated and unprotected Internet–based telephone
services are expected to produce major insurance losses according to a report issued
by NJ-based telephone technology development and licensing company, Emerson Development.
The report, “VoIP Security Review: Insurance”, states that the discount VoIP telephone service, which is rapidly being adopted in the U.S. and throughout the world, is causing a shift from the reliable, secure traditional telephone network now in use, to an Internet environment of extreme risk.
As it becomes more prevalent, the report anticipates that VoIP will be increasingly attractive to those with malicious intent, and therefore will be progressively more vulnerable to hostile acts such as spying / espionage, hacking, intrusion, identity and intellectual property theft, and interruption of service. It points out that VoIP is exposed to all the cyber-risks of the Internet, plus unique risks related to voice communications such as eavesdropping on and recording of phone calls, or redirecting calls to an imposter organization (e.g., a hacker instead of a bank).
This is significant to the Insurance Industry because a growing range of insured user sectors are depending upon VoIP online telephone service. These sectors include, but are not limited to government, the military, manufacturers, the legal profession, the banking industry, the transportation sector, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and medical practices, the not-for-profit sector, and private individuals in greater and greater numbers.
“Because of the Internet’s open architecture, every person and every system has direct access to one another,” the report’s primary author and CEO of Emerson Development, Mr. Harry Emerson states, “therefore,” he continues, “we all implicitly have a trusted relationship with every hacker and terrorist in the world”. This fundamental Internet architecture, the report explains, enables the broad range of cyber-security threats experienced today; VoIP, as an Internet application, has the same unavoidable vulnerabilities.
According to FBI Director Robert Mueller, in an April 23rd release, “The FBI considers the cyber threat against our nation to be one of the greatest concerns of the 21st century.”
Report co-author, risk-management expert Mr. Glenn Tippy, President and Managing Partner of Insurance Agency Gerrity, Baker, Williams Inc., anticipates that insurance carriers will increasingly price for Internet / VoIP telephone exposure. “Cyber insurance products will be created for users of VoIP, as well as for VoIP providers and vendors. The effects upon our economy will be profound,” he said.

05/01/2010 - Jabber’s 11 year birthday and todo-list for 2010
Peter Saint-Andre blogs about Jabber’s 11th anniversary and what the focus will be for the XMPP community during 2010. Here’s his list:
- End-to-end encryption
- Finalizing Jingle-based file transfer
- Multi-user Jingle for voice conferencing and the like
- Distributing chat rooms across servers
- Bridging between serverless mode and server mode (very useful in distressed networks)
- Reputation systems for XMPP servers and users
All of these issues are important. End-to-end encryption is something that the SIP community should spend more time trying to handle and I can only wish for some cooperation between SIP and XMPP in trying to find a security architecture for end-to-end communication - involving both encryption and authentication.

.28/10/2009 - Sipera SLiC Makes Smartphone VoIP and UC Secure and “Business Ready”
After demonstrating how easy it was to eavesdrop and record VoIP calls made over an unsecured WiFi network on the iPhone using open source software called UCSniff, Sipera Systems, which offers real-time Unified Communications (UC) security, released the Sipera Secure Live Communications (SLiC) mobility solution.
The company claims Sipera SLiC is the industry’s first security solution enabling enterprises to “tame” the smartphone, permitting employees to use VoIP, UC, cloud telephony, and other low-cost and feature-rich communications applications on mobile devices with complete security and privacy.
26/10/2009 - Sipera SLiC Delivers Smartphone Security for 'Business Ready' Mobile VoIP and Unified Communications
Sipera
Systems announces availability of the Sipera Secure Live Communications (SLiC)
mobility solution. Delivering breakthrough enterprise-class communications privacy
and security for VoIP and UC on smartphones, Sipera SLiC makes smartphone VoIP and
UC "business ready."
Sipera SLiC is the industry's first security solution enabling enterprises to "tame" the smartphone, permitting employees to use VoIP, UC, cloud telephony, and other low-cost and feature-rich communications applications on mobile devices with complete security and privacy. In an important industry first, Sipera SLiC enables smartphone VoIP to include smart-card card authentication for accessing enterprise resources, providing unparalleled access control and communications privacy.
As a result, enterprises can:
- Extend UC and VoIP to smartphones while ensuring privacy and security compliance by seamlessly extending the enterprise security perimeter to these devices.
- Securely enable office phone functionality on smartphones, such as interoffice extension dialing, no matter where the employee is using the smartphone.
- Offload cellular minutes to VoIP for dramatic savings, while maintaining confidentiality of mission-critical communications. This enables fully secure utilization of VoIP with dual-mode mobile phones.
- For the first time ever, use Two-Factor Authentication with smartphone VoIP for enhanced access control.
- Block threats that result in data leakage, toll fraud and a host of other security risks.
- Enforce control on incoming voice spam with a one-click option on the phone to black list calls.
- Easily manage and enforce the enterprise communications security posture on any device in any place, both inside and outside the enterprise border.
Sipera SLiC already is in use by multiple customers, including a Fortune Global 500 enterprise, which is using Sipera SLiC to securely offload millions of minutes in cellular usage to VoIP. This case study and others will be introduced when Sipera SLiC is unveiled during a special free webinar on UC Security: "The Final Frontier: Secure Unified Communications to Any Device in Any Place".
As the smartphone market has exploded, hundreds of communication applications have been introduced that take advantage of WiFi and data services such as 3G, GPRS and other technologies. But these applications do not natively integrate into the enterprise security infrastructure, making it difficult for communications security managers to ensure communications privacy, data integrity, and other critical security requirements. As a result, employees are using unauthorized VoIP or other UC applications on their smartphones and violating privacy mandates and confidentiality rules, exposing themselves to eavesdropping, and increasing information security risks.
Sipera SLiC solves the smartphone security challenge by integrating the smartphone into the enterprise communications security infrastructure. The solution:
- Automatically authenticates the smartphone back into the enterprise PBX or call manager.
- Ensures encryption of IP-based communications.
- Enforces security policies in real-time.
- Blocks threats or blacklisted callers.
Sipera SLiC solution consists of:
- Sipera's award-winning UC-Sec security appliance, deployed in the enterprise VoIP or UC network and providing encryption, access control and authentication, policy enforcement, and threat mitigation.
- Integration and interoperability of UC-Sec with the enterprise's smartphones, which could be complemented by the Sipera SLiC Client, available for leading smartphone operating systems.

16/06/2009 - Three indicted for hacking 2,500 company phone systems (PBX)
Italian officials allege the sale of the pass codes helped finance terrorist activities, IDG News Service reported. On Friday, Italian officials arrested at least five people in raids on 10 call centers.
The three indicted in the U.S. are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, unauthorized access to computers and other charges, according to U.S. attorney Ralph J. Marra, Jr.
"The hackers we've charged enabled their conspirators in Italy and elsewhere to steal large amounts of telecommunications capacity, which could then be used to further or finance just about any sort of nefarious activity here or overseas," Marra said.
Pakistani nationals in Italy used the stolen codes to offer cheap calls to their clients on the PBXs of commercial companies in the United States, Australia and Europe.
Some of the profits from the scam were used to finance the activities of Islamist extremists in Pakistan and Afghanistan, Italian officials said, according to the IDG News report.
Marra said the hackers dialed into the PBXs and used a process known as a brute force attack to hit vulnerable points of the PBX systems.

09/12/2008 - FBI Warns of New Vishing Attacks Targeting PBX Systems
The
FBI has identified a new technique used to conduct vishing attacks where hackers exploit
a known security vulnerability in Asterisk softwar e. Asterisk is free and widely
used software developed to integrate PBX systems with VoIP digital Internet voice
calling services; however, early versions of the Asterisk software are known to have
a vulnerability. The vulnerability can be exploited by cyber criminals to use the
system as an auto dialer, generating thousands of vishing telephone calls to consumers
within one hour.
Digium released a Security Advisory, AST-2008-003, in March 2008, which contains the information necessary for users to configure a system, patch the software, or upgrade the software to protect against this vulnerability.
If a consumer falls victim to this exploit, their personally identifiable information (PII) will be compromised. To prevent further loss of consumers? PII and to reduce the spread of this new technique, it is imperative that businesses using Asterisk upgrade their software to a version that has had the vulnerability fixed.
Further, consumers should not release personal information in response to unsolicited telephone calls. Providing your PII will compromise your identity.
?As with all types of scams, whether by computer, phone, or mail, using common sense can protect you,? said Special Agent Richard Kolko, Chief, National Press Office, Washington, D.C.
To receive the latest information about cyber scams, please go to the FBI website and sign up for e-mail alerts by clicking on one of the red envelopes. If you have received a scam e-mail, please notify the IC3 by filing a complaint at www.ic3.gov. For more information on e-scams, please visit the FBI's New E-Scams and Warnings webpage.

30/10/2008 - Hacking VoIP: New Book Shows How Easy it Is to Attack VoIP
VoIP
is an increasingly widespread new technology that allows users to escape the tyranny
of big telecom and make phone calls over the Internet. But while VoIP may be cheap
and convenient, it's notoriously lacking in security. With little effort, attackers
can eavesdrop on conversations, disrupt phone calls, inject content into existing
conversations, change caller IDs, and access sensitive information?all without the
awareness of the VoIP users making the phone calls.
Hacking VoIP approaches VoIP security from two angles, explaining VoIP's many security holes to both hackers and administrators. The book raises awareness of the importance of VoIP security, describes potential attacks, explains VoIP's biggest weaknesses, and offers solutions for protecting against potential exposure and attacks. Readers learn how to defend against VoIP attacks as they explore issues with VoIP security and the boundaries of VoIP protocols.
"VoIP is fun, but it's remarkably easy to attack," said No Starch Press founder Bill Pollock. "People think that when they pick up the telephone they're on a secure line, but not when that call is being made over VoIP. Hacking VoIP demonstrates just how easy it is to attack VoIP, and how best to plug those security holes."
Hacking VoIP explains every aspect of VoIP security, discusses popular security assessment tools, and explores the inherent vulnerabilities of common hardware and software packages. Readers learn how to:
- Identify and defend against VoIP security attacks such as eavesdropping, audio injection, caller ID spoofing, and VoIP phishing
- Audit VoIP network security and assess the security of enterprise-level VoIP networks such as Cisco, Avaya, and Asterisk and home implementations like Yahoo! and Vonage
- Use VoIP protocols like H.323, SIP, RTP, and IAX
- Locate potential vulnerabilities in any VoIP network
- Use both existing and newly released VoIP security tools
08/10/2008 - Cellcrypt Looks to Address Growing Concerns about Voice Security
Cellcrypt is
on a mission to appoint key channel partners worldwide to address the increasing concern
about voice security. Many individuals and organisations have recognised the issue
of voice security, however traditional encrypted mobile phones have severe limitations.
Cellcrypt Mobile breaks through these barriers allowing resellers to offer dramatically
improved solutions to existing customers and to reach customers whose problems they
haven?t been able to solve until now.
While the risk of telephone calls being tapped has long been recognised, recent technology changes have increased the risk; this has led to a greater demand for voice security as individual?s and organisations? integrity is threatened by risks to sensitive information in M&A transactions, corporate strategy, executive conference calls, contract negotiations, intellectual property discussions, investor relations, board discussions, increasingly across international boundaries.
Until now, secure mobile phone solutions have used the CSD data channel to transmit calls, which creates three major drawbacks: poor voice quality; long latency; and the inability to make international calls reliably. Cellcrypt Mobile makes secure calls over a mobile internet connection, allowing it to overcome all these issues, with the added benefit of low cost calls.
Cellcrypt?s new programme creates opportunities for partners to reach new and existing customers with a highly differentiated product that generates recurring revenues. The programme offers a strong financial incentive programme; a complete training curriculum; access to technical support services; and marketing, selling, and skills enablement.
Cellcrypt Mobile is a software application that, when installed on standard smartphones, encrypts voice calls between the mobile phones without impacting call quality. Cellcrypt Mobile uses high grade encryption and a very efficient VOIP implementation to deliver secure voice calls with low latency across 3G, WiFi, and GPRS networks.
