citrix-and-security

Posted by: admin 16 years, 3 months ago

PDP has recently pointed out how easy it is to hack into poorly configured Citrix servers, which can easily be found via Google et al. He's also posted information on how to hack Citrix in a more forceful way. So, it is a good thing that we've posted documentation on how to protect Citrix with WiKID two-factor authentication. Also, yesterday, I posted a similar how-to document for protecting for GoToMyPC Corporate.

Well, Choicepoint provides a good case in point. This was not a “hacker” attack as labeled in the popular press (further moving the definition of that word from its original meaning), but rather a traditional scam that took advantage of a lax credentialling process (yes, Irony with a capital I) that apparently is fax-based.

Holy Cow.

Hackers on Tuesday hijacked the Web site CheckFree.com, one of the largest online bill payment companies, redirecting an unknown number of visitors to a Web address that tried to install malicious software on visitors' computers, the company said today.
First, I find it very hard to believe that you would hijack the domain for one of the world's largest payment processor and only try to install malware.
