		<description><![CDATA[Any Microsoft fans who were hoping to catch up with the company&#8217;s latest YouTube videos over the weekend would have been in for an unpleasant surprise: All of the videos had disappeared, replaced by five videos soliciting advertisers for the channel, along with a message that read &#8220;I DID NOTHING WRONG I SIMPLY SIGNED INTO MY ACCOUNT THAT I MADE IN 2006 :/&#8221; The hack lasted a few hours, with Microsoft releasing a statement during that time saying simply, &#8220;We are aware that someone has altered the YouTube channel devoted to Microsoft videos.  We are working with YouTube to rectify the situation.&#8221; All of Microsoft&#8217;s official videos were removed as a result of the hack, as was the channel&#8217;s description, and the channel&#8217;s home country was changed to the United Kingdom. (MORE: YouTube to Launch 25 New Professionally-Created Content Channels?) Less than three hours after Microsoft&#8217;s initial statement on the matter, the company released a second statement, announcing that it had &#8220;regained control of the Microsoft channel on YouTube, and we are working to restore all of the original content.  We will continue to work with YouTube to ensure safeguards are in place for the future.&#8221; The hack is the second high-profile hack of a YouTube channel in as many weeks; while Microsoft may be embarrassed and frustrated at having to replace all of its content (It&#8217;s all back up now), at least it didn&#8217;t have to see its videos replaced by hardcore pornography. Clearly, it&#8217;s time for YouTube to reassess its security procedures.

		<description><![CDATA[Citigroup estimates that around 3,400 customers were affected by the online security breach it experienced earlier this year, costing somewhere in the region of $2.7 million when credit card information was stolen by hackers. This is the first time that Citi is publicly acknowledging any financial losses as a result of the hack, which affected more than 360,000 credit card accounts in May. (MORE: Citigroup Says 360,000 Credit Cards Were Hacked) According to an email earlier this month from spokesman Sean Kevelighan, the bank &#8220;immediately rectified the data breach upon discovery, while also placing internal fraud alerts and monitoring on all accounts at risk&#8221; and began investigating which accounts had been accessed, and what effects such access had. With both investigations completed, Kevelighan now says that customers will be reimbursed for their losses.

		<description><![CDATA[RSA Security, a security data firm which suffered a breach back in March, is now offering to replace all of the security tokens it provides to millions of corporate workers. Is it safe to trust companies when they say our data is secure after a hacking incident yet? In a letter yesterday, EMC, which encompasses RSA, admitted that intruders managed to steal data from Lockheed Martin. Specifics weren’t disclosed, but the company is definitely trying to step up its game to make sure that nothing else happens – it&#8217;s offering to swap out virtually every security token distributed to its customers. The security tokens, known as SecurIDs, generate unique passwords during regularly timed intervals for millions of corporate workers across the U.S. (We here at TIME also use the same security system for our employees.) The company says that it will continue to monitor the situation for customers and, in particular, for financial institutions. That’s a good thing. The Lockheed Martin breach is the first confirmed incident since March, but it turns out the company had its suspicions the hacker was after defense contractors given the nature of the initial attack. According to the Wall Street Journal, even President Obama was briefed on the situation. Fortunately, there have apparently been no additional security incidents affecting the company since March. Other customers who use the SecurID technology have reportedly experienced attacks, too, although no company other than Lockheed Martin has been identified yet.

		<description><![CDATA[Sony&#8217;s weighed in on the question of whether its PlayStation Network online login was “hacked” yesterday. Its verdict: not a hack, just an “exploit.” “We temporarily took down the PSN and Qriocity password reset page,” said Sony spokesperson Patrick Seybold on the PlayStation blog, adding “Contrary to some reports, there was no hack involved. In the process of resetting of passwords there was a URL exploit that we have subsequently fixed.” Exploited: Sony’s PSN browser-based login and password reset page. Nyleveia noticed the “exploit” yesterday, writing “A new hack is currently doing the rounds in dark corners of the internet that allows the attacker the ability to change your password using only your account’s email and date of birth.” It all sounded rather grim, especially when you consider what hackers allegedly made off with in the original mid-April PSN hack: a list of PSN account emails and birth dates. Thankfully Sony took the page offline almost immediately (Nyleveia’s taking credit for prompting Sony’s actions, though Sony’s not saying who tipped it off at this point, or whether it was tipped at all). As far as we know, no one&#8217;s accounts were unintentionally compromised. Exploit? Hack? What’s the difference? Depends who you talk to, but in dictionary parlance, the distinction’s academic. In public relations parlance, &#8220;hack&#8221; sounds worse, ergo &#8220;exploit.&#8221; As for the PSN, it’s up and has been since Saturday. The exploit only affects your ability to login through the official PSN website. “Consumers who haven’t reset their passwords for PSN are still encouraged to do so directly on their PS3,” says Seybold. “Otherwise, they can continue to do so via the website as soon as we bring that site back up.”<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=83126&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sony had believed that its PlayStation Network service would have been restored by now but things have been delayed once again. A company blog post finds Sony saying, &#8220;We were unaware of the extent of the attack on Sony Online Entertainment servers, and we are taking this opportunity to conduct further testing of the incredibly complex system.&#8221; There had been rumors of yet another security attack to take place against the PlayStation Network over the weekend, but it&#8217;s unknown whether Sony&#8217;s decision to keep everything offline had anything to do with the threats. The PlayStation Network has been offline since April 20. This coming Wednesday will mark three weeks since the network originally went down.

		<description><![CDATA[According to a report by CNET, Sony may have to brace itself for another hack this coming weekend.  Yes, another one. An observer of the IRC channel used by hackers says that the third major attack is planned for Sony’s website, as punishment for the way Sony has handled the PlayStation network breach. The company only alerted customers a full week after the initial network hack, though it should have been much sooner. To lay it on thick, the hackers also want to go a step beyond infiltrating the site. CNET says that they “plan to publicize all or some of the information they are able to copy from Sony&#8217;s servers, which could include customer names, credit card numbers, and addresses, according to the source. The hackers claim they currently have access to some of Sony&#8217;s servers.” Sony recently admitted that the hackers stole personal information from “all of the approximately 77 million PlayStation Network and Qriocity service accounts&#8221; in a response to U.S. House of Representatives Committee investigating the matter. Gee whiz, dudes. Like that’s not bad enough compared with all of the credit card information exposed. Weeks before ago, several Sony websites were forced down by what some people believe is the work of hacker group Anonymous. They group is believed to be responsible for the PlayStation network breach, though Anonymous has said they do not “condone credit card theft.” Regardless whether the planned attack is hearsay or not, Sony should step up their game to ensure nothing close happens. It’s the last thing that the company really needs (hey Sony, are you ready for this weekend? Yoohoo) and would be, let’s just say, less than ideal given what it’s been through in the recent weeks.

		<description><![CDATA[Just as Sony’s settling its lawsuit with PS3 root-key hacker George Hotz, developer Jaimes Laird says he’s managed to crack the private keys for Apple&#8217;s AirPlay wireless streaming protocol. Laird’s girlfriend moved and was having issues getting her music to stream properly, so he popped open her Airport Express, “dumped the ROM,” and reverse-engineered the keys. The result: An open-source Perl hack dubbed ShairPort that lets Laird&#8217;s girlfriend (and you, too) stream media direct from iTunes to formerly unsanctioned computers and third-party mobile devices. How&#8217;s that for twenty-first century chivalry? According to Laird, Apple used a “public-key crypto scheme” to prevent other devices from chatting via AirPlay natively. Third-party tools like Rogue Amoeba’s Airfoil work around this limitation by “hijacking” audio from unlicensed devices and piping it (using AirPlay&#8217;s public key) to Apple’s Airport Express or Apple TV. ShairPort solves the other half of the equation by unlocking the private key and cutting out the middleman. It basically emulates an AirPort Express and allows you to stream directly from iTunes or iOS sources to whatever device you like. Put another way: No more fussy in-between-y handholding or redundant workaround utilities. That&#8217;s if you&#8217;re up for a little hack-your-own. It&#8217;s unlikely any third-party would flout Apple&#8217;s implicit position here. If it did, Apple could (and probably would) litigate&#8211;or simply render the hack moot by closing the hole. Of course there&#8217;s always the &#8220;chase the hacker out of the country before settling&#8221; route (only kidding&#8211;PS3 hacker Hotz says he didn&#8217;t &#8220;flee&#8221; to South America), but where&#8217;s the fun in that?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=76040&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For you really tech smart people out there, Google has issued a challenge for you. It&#8217;s quite simple: Hack Google Chrome Web browser successfully, and they&#8217;ll give you $20,000 cash and a Chrome CR-48. You&#8217;ll have your work set out for you though. Last year, Google&#8217;s web browser was the only one left untouched at CanSecWest Pwn2Own (yes that is the real name) 2010, ZDNet wrote. This year, they&#8217;ve upped the stakes with the larger cash prize. The hacks will have to be made to Chrome Web browser&#8217;s running on the latest 64-bit release of either Windows 7 or Mac OS X. Contest rules state that the hack must “must include a sandbox escape,” which means whatever the hack weakens may be combined with another security flaw that must be written in Google code to cause the whole system to crumble. (Chrome supposedly has built-in sandbox protection. According to PC World, &#8220;The sandbox segregates untrusted or potentially malicious scripts so they are unable to impact the core browser, or the underlying PC. Because of the sandbox, it will take some extra effort for an attack against the Chrome Web browser to be considered a success.&#8221;) The contest runs from March 9 -11, 2011 in Vancouver, Canada as part of the CanSecWest conference. The $20,000 and the computer is only going to be offered the first day. If it happens on day two or three, you get $10,000 for a sandbox escape in non-Google code and $10,000 for the Chrome bug. Plugins other than the built-in PDF support cannot be added to create the hack. Hacking Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox are also part of the Pwn2Own contest, but they don&#8217;t get as awesome of a shiny money prize. Still, there is an additional $105,000 in prize money that Hewlett-Packard and TippingPoint is offering to others who crack codes during the contest. Chances are most of us aren&#8217;t talented enough to do this work, but it&#8217;s nice to know that these companies support developers who are smart enough to take them down.

		<description><![CDATA[Remember early June? Summer nights, trendy flip flops, drinks on restaurant patios, etc.? June 10th shattered all those fuzzy feelings with news of a massive security breach affecting iPad 3G owners. &#8220;Shattered&#8221; might be a bit overdramatic, but let&#8217;s just go with it in the interest of moving the story along. The short and skinny was that AT&#38;T, which provides data service to 3G-enabled iPads, hadn&#8217;t locked down part of its website. And hackers discovered that when feeding the numeric ID associated with a particular iPad&#8217;s 3G connection into this website, the site would spit the iPad owner&#8217;s e-mail address back out. The hackers then automated the feeding of random ID numbers into the site until they got back a bunch of e-mail addresses. The &#8220;collection of early-adopter iPad 3G subscribers,&#8221; as reported by Gawker (which broke the initial story) who had their personal information stolen included &#8220;thousands of A-listers in finance, politics and media.&#8221; Fast forward to today, and two men—Daniel Spitler and Andrew Auernheimer—have been charged with one count each of fraud and one count each of conspiracy to access a computer without authorization, according to Reuters. The men apparently notified AT&#38;T of the security hole before providing Gawker with a list of e-mail addresses and ID numbers gathered as a result of the breach, though it&#8217;s unknown whether anything more nefarious was ever done with the leaked information. Both men are expected in court today. More on TIME.com: Security Breach Exposed iPad 3G Owners&#8217; E-mail Addresses Verizon iPad Also Coming, But Will We Have To Wait For iPad 2?

		<description><![CDATA[Were you affected by the big Gawker hack that broke out over the weekend? Me too, man. Me too. It is what it is (and other comforting remarks). Slate has created a handy tool to see if your Gawker password is among the 185,000+ out there for the whole world to see. Simply enter your e-mail address and you may or may not get the following message: &#8220;Your password was released, and it&#8217;s been decrypted. You should change it ASAP.&#8221; Ah, how nice. That one comment I left on Lifehacker six years ago has finally come back to haunt me. That&#8217;ll teach me to think twice about saying, &#8220;Great tip! Thanks!&#8221; in the comments section of various websites in the future.

		<description><![CDATA[In a morning swimming in cyber attacks, Twitter is now fending off one of its own. A new acai berry Twitter scheme has compromised thousands of accounts, spamming followers with dangerous links. Mashable reported that the spam was spreading at a pace of 10,000 tweets per minute early this morning, with tweets linking to an “acainews” domain name. The attacks are likely related to this weekend’s Gawker hack that posted the password information to 1.3 million of the site’s commenter accounts, Twitter’s Del Harvey wrote on her Twitter feed, noting that Gawker commenters who use the same password for other accounts (i.e. Twitter) could be victims of the acai berry attack. If your account has been victimized, immediately change your password and delete spam links that have been pushed out through your feed.
