I wonder why I had about 2000 new user registrations on spamversand yesterday.
All these registrations came from about 100 IP-Adresses in total and from about
10 ip-nets (/24), all located in China. Still I had no comments or postings
coming from these ips. Guess there is either a bug in wordpress which these
people are preparing to use or the spam-postings are still going to come..
The evil bitcrypt malware, which encrypts files on hijacked pc and offers the decryption key
for a payment of 260 € has a serious flaw in the encryption design, Heise reported.
Fabien Perigaud und Cedric Pernet from bitbucket.org managed to find out that the used RSA-Key
had a length of 128 instead of 128 Byte; So they were able to crack the 426 bit key in 43 hours.
The free python-script is here available. Cool stuff 🙂
