Lenovo is processed by spy software included on their PCs – Digital Look

It did not take long for Lenovo suffered the first court case on charges of distributing spy Superfish software on their laptops. The action comes from the American Jessica Bennett, who claims to have been affected by the pre-installed program on your laptop Yoga 2.

She says she noticed ads from spam type with scantily clad women, which raised their suspicion on a spyware infection. However, she found that it was the Superfish, the program used by Lenovo, according to the indictment.

Now the company will have to answer a process for fraudulent business practices, and jeopardize the safety and user privacy for financial gain.

Publicly, Lenovo recanted and promised to remove the program on compromised computers but denied many of the charges. “We investigated this technology widely and could not find any evidence to support the security concerns. The software does not draw profiles or monitor user behavior. It does not record user information and do not know who the user is,” said a spokesman company.

Security experts, however, claim that adware could monitor users and convert search terms in ad online shops. The program would also be able to approve their own security certificate, collecting personal data and leaving the user vulnerable to potential attacks.

In a statement the director of software developer Adi Pinhas, defended the software: “The Superfish is completely transparent in our software does and in no time consumers were vulnerable.”

What is the Superfish
? problem is used to collect information to display customized advertising to the owners of computers. The point is that the Superfish is able to install a proxy that can produce false SSL certificates whenever you have to go through a secure connection.

The SSL certificate is used by banks, shopping and social networking to prove their sites comes secure connections. As the Superfish produces these seals, the program can penetrate secure sites to collect information from them and still inject advertising there.

An example of this ability has been shown by Kenn White security expert who, on Twitter, posted a picture showing a certificate issued to the Bank of America by Superfish, and this guarantee should come from a company specializing in security.

The Fireclay Tile uses Salesforce software, Silicon Valley, the largest in the SaaS world for the relationship management with the client

The tiles Fireclay Tile produced by in San Francisco (USA), are painted by hand, one by one. The company is small, with just over 100 employees, and the showroom of the brand is a house with faded facade, squeezed between the tall buildings that host startups of Silicon Valley technology. But do not be fooled by appearances. The Fireclay Tile does not work according to its size when it comes to business management.

The company is one of thousands that have adopted cloud computing in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service), optimizing your process sales and service, which, according to the company, contributed to its growth by 500% since the implementation of the technology in 2009.

A 2014 IBM survey shows that the global market for SaaS should reach around US $ 45 billion in 2017. Two years ago, this value was $ 18 billion.

The study surveyed more than 800 global companies say that the main reason for the decision to adopt SaaS is reducing the cost of ownership of their applications, instead of buying the license of software, SaaS the company pays a monthly fee to access a hosted cloud system, not on its servers, with 41% of them exceeding the expectations of economy.

A number that surprised the researchers, however, was the companies that seek, through SaaS, competitive advantage, adding 47% of respondents.

” We felt like an Amazon, where the customer know if the purchase has been carried out and the product shipped, “said the president of Fireclay Tile, Eric Edelson, which automated communication via e-mail of the brand through SaaS. “For a company our size, with no more than $ 2 million in revenue, you could not do this without a huge technology team,” he says.

The manufacturer of tiles uses the Sales software Cloud (cloud sales), Salesforce, Silicon Valley company that is the world’s largest SaaS delivery for the relationship management (CRM).

In addition to Software as a Service ( SaaS), cloud computing has two other categories:. Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), both used by companies of all sizes, depending on your needs

The Salesforce, besides being a reference in SaaS, PaaS also offers a solution called Salesforce1 Platform, which allows users to develop their own applications, aimed at customers or employees, and all of them ready for mobile devices.

Software on computers Lenovo leaves vulnerable system – Globo.com

A factory-installed software on some computers Lenovo Chinese leaves your computer vulnerable to data interception attacks. The program displays contextual advertising depending on the visited site and to analyze secure pages, change operating system settings to remove the protections offered by intercept HTTPS sites (which display the “lock” in the web browser).

The program, called Superfish, using codes of another company, Komodia. A study released by Facebook on Friday (20) says more than a dozen other applications with the same code there. The case of Lenovo, however, is of concern because of the number of systems affected. Lenovo is currently the largest manufacturer in the world computers, with 18.8% of sales, according to Gartner

Computers with Superfish were also sold in Brazil in three sets:. G (G40 -70 and G50-45), Z (Z40-70) and Yoga (Yoga2-13). Lenovo released an automatic removal tool that can be downloaded from the company website. In addition to uninstall, you must verify that the certificate was also removed. Microsoft included the Superfish in Windows Defender security program, which is part of Windows.

“We did not know this potential security vulnerability [until this Friday (20)]. We recognize that this was a our mistake and we will do better in the future. Now we are focused on correcting the problem, “the company said in a statement.

interception Risk
Web sites can only display the “lock” safety case accompanied by a certificate signed by a trusted entity. The list of trusted entities is configured in Windows. A site that uses a certificate scrambles the communication traffic and prevents the data from being read by third parties. The digital signature of the trusted entity by the system ensures that the certificate has not been tampered.

The Superfish analyzes the communication traffic to search and display contextual advertising. In secure sites, Superfish could not work because it is not possible to analyze the traffic.

To work around this limitation, the program simulates an intercept attack on access to secure sites, being intermediate. This action should result in an error message for the visitor, it would indicate that there is something wrong with the secure connection.

The Superfish modifies the list of trusted entities to be included in it and, therefore, it can display a fake certificate and even then will be accepted by the system, without any error message.

The problem with this method is that the key used by Superfish is unsafe and is the same for all systems that it is installed. This allows any attacker to create fake certificates that will be accepted by the vulnerable computer.

The risk of interception is higher in shared networks, as a public wireless network. A hacker could intercept access to bank or any other site usually safe, like Facebook, and get all the communication data, including passwords. No error message or warning would be displayed, as it would on a computer without the installed Superfish.

But at the beginning there were many septic, the truth of the results is different. According to the company, the reductions in crime in the areas where your system acts reach the double digits.

According to the reported results, there is a 20% annual in Los Angeles, and that in the first four months in the city there was a reduction of 14% of the crimes. In Atlanta there is a reduction of 19% after the introduction of the program throughout the city since November 2013.

To predict the areas where crimes may occur, the program works with probabilities, based on previous crimes, being dependent on the police reports entering the platform. The result of this algorithm is the areas where there is greater likelihood of crimes, which gives a strong clue where the police must be present.

The program costs between $ 10,000 and $ 150,000, depending on the population for which it is intended. The program is already used by almost 60 US police departments.

These figures are published by the company, however further studies are needed to see if these programs are actually the cause of reducing crimes.

Google extends deadline before exposing bugs in the software of others – Digital Look

Google decided to take a teaspoon for companies and will give a period slightly higher before publicly expose security holes in the software of others in the Project Zero program. After hearing complaints from Microsoft, the company will expand the search term if necessary.

So far, Google notifying the responsible company and promised to disclose the information within 90 days, something considered sufficient. Now, after complaints, will give an additional time of 14 days for the company responsible release the necessary update.

Also, if the deadline coincides with weekends or national holidays (US), Google will also move the deadline for the next business day. The company also promises that, in extreme cases, the period may be extended or reduced, but very special circumstances apply.

So far, Microsoft has been the most harmed by the new Google bug exposure policy, and is probably also responsible for the shift in thinking competitor. This is because in one case, a failure in the “Windows 8.1″ was released two days before the release of correction package, which responsible for the operating system considered “less a matter of principle and one more ‘gotcha!’”.
