Fake YouTube Infects with Trojans

Seeing one's favorite celebrity in an exclusive video might be temping enough for many people to click on a link that promises to show them precisely this, especially if we're talking a link on a trusted website. Even more, if that website happens to be YouTube, then 90% of the people receiving it will most surely click it. However, security experts warn us that we must be cautious even when we’re dealing with a video allegedly hosted by YouTube.

This happens because, during these past days, hijackers have used the name of Google's property to launch Trojan attacks. By using a legitimate website host that has been corrupted, and applying to it YouTube identification marks, such as the logo and the page layout, hackers have managed to attack unwary victims.

Researchers at the security company Sophos have posted on the official blog the names of some of the files that presumably were YouTube videos. It seems like attackers didn't even bother to manually change the names of the celebrities to match the context they were used in, thus the “videos” contained totally unusual situations, like, for instance, actresses Angelina Jolie, Monica Bellucci or Meg Ryan supposedly singing. Others, more vague, promised “shocking mp3s,” or R-rated clips with the same celebrities.

“The good news is that we’re still detecting this malware as Troj/Injects-CR. But it is scary to think about how many unprotected users would fall for this trick…” says Dmitry Samosseiko from the SophosLabs Canada, assuring users that, as long as they employ a security solution that can detect the trojan, the situation is under control.

The domain hosting the fake YouTube is also being used to distribute the same trojan, this time on pages that resemble the design of the Windows Media Player. In order to see a video, users are advised to download a codec, which is in fact a piece of malicious software. Experts warn that the media player is just a static picture and that no one should fall for the trick.

How to detect fake Peso Bills?

Experts said authentic bills are characterized by a rough paper and has an embossed “Republika ng Pilipinas” marking on a real P500 bill.

Fake bills, meanwhile, have think paper and are also characterized by a smooth surface.

Authentic bills also have a green or violet security thread that shows under direct light. The bill’s denomination will also show up within the security thread.

Real money will also show a watermark or likeness of the face of the personality shown in front of the bill.

A real P500 bill clearly and correctly spells out the line “Faith in our people and faith in God,” which is usually spelled out wrong in bogus bills.

A P200-bill, meanwhile, has Braille on the surface for blind people.

BSP officials, meanwhile, said they will not replace fake money surrendered by the public to banks. Those seized by law enforcement agencies will not be refunded either.

The BSP said it seizes an average of P100,000 in fake bills per month. Most of the bills are surrendered by banks that receive them from clients who try to pass them off as authentic money.

It was learned that 310.84 billion pieces of paper bills worth P169.27 billion are currently in circulation.

Chinese have cloned yet another device. This time it’s HTC TyTN II. As you can see the fonts and icons on the screen here are wrong, but generally this is a quality fake, as the phone itself looks almost the same. Moreover, it has two SIM slots and runs Windows Mobile.

Fake GoogleTalk application

We're still trying to pin down exactly how new this is, but it seems someone has released a fake Google Talk application into the wild.

Compare the fake application on the left with the real thing on the right, and note the differences:



Immediately, we can see that the real thing has a rounded curve at the top - the fake is blocky, and looks like a regular Windows application box. There's an "Inbox" link at the top when you start up the fake application - there isn't a link like that when firing up Google Talk for the first time. The Username / Password box is much lower down on the fake application, and (again) the real "Sign In" button is curved on the real application. Finally, you'll see "Forgot your account / Don't have an account" on the genuine Google Talk program - not so on the fake.
