It?s d?j? vu all over again. There?s another?previously undiscovered vulnerability being actively exploited in the wild and this time it belongs to Internet Explorer. Microsoft?released a Security Advisory?and issued an?out-of-cycle bulletin on Friday 21 September?to address the flaw. It should come as no surprise?the?group behind this exploit?is the same one behind the previously undiscovered?Java vulnerability?from a few weeks ago?and?the?Nitro campaign?discovered by Symantec?last?fall.?Are we having fun yet? An Islamic hacking group is taking responsibility for?DDoS attacks against Bank of America, the New York Stock Exchange?and?JPMorgan Chase to protest the more-than-controversial ?Innocence of Muslims? YouTube video. The?Grum botnet tried to stage a comeback, and failed, but unfortunately the?TDL4?and?ZeroAccess rootkits?cemented their places as significant malware threats. Imperva and Dell SecureWorks both win this week?s award for producing the most actionable intelligence collected by the RISK Team.?Imperva provided?A Comprehensive Guide to DDoS, which is entirely fitting considering this week?s news stories, and Dell released a report on a?cyber-espionage campaign against the energy sector dubbed Mirage. And in epic user fails,1,000 Taiwanese government employees must undergo security training?after clicking on a link to an adult video as part of a security audit. Oops!
