Kelihos Botnet Stronger as Ever after vain attempt to bring it down, analysis: http://www.lavasoft.com/mylavasoft/malware-descriptions/blog/kelihos-botnet-gains-strength-again-0 (link article author = alexander adamov) See this on one of the encrypted IPs: http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=1028057
with ET CURRENT_EVENTS Suspicious double HTTP Header possible botnet CnC  see: http://doc.emergingthreats.net/bin/view/Main/2012707
and ET INFO EXE Download With Content Type Specified As Empty -> http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.ids.snort.emerging-sigs/15732 (link posting author - Will Metcalf) another example: http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=1305759 See how this IP could not be verified: http://dnsbl.inps.de/query.cgi?lang=en&action=check&ip=62.84.252.23&quick=0 and here this would not resolve: 404report.projecthoneypot.org/ip_62.84.252.23
but listed as a zombie here: http://support.clean-mx.de/clean-mx/publog.php?as=AS35362
 62.84.252.23 | SD     Bad Event     67      2013-01-03       2013-01-18  Spam Server Dictionary Attacker. So an endless task to get these sinkholed. And then another division of zombies comes into play...rather interesting info here: http://pastebin.com/NfA4pvpg linked to http://www.fireeye.com/blog/files/cagremub.ru_ips and consider info here: https://github.com/CybOXProject/Tools/blob/master/scripts/snort_to_cybox/example/botnet-cnc.rules (Github info)

Microsoft changes default Flash behavior in Windows 8 and RT


"Summary: In a surprise reversal, Microsoft has changed the default behavior of Flash content on websites
viewed using Internet Explorer in Windows 8 or Windows RT. Previously, sites had to be on a whitelist before Flash would work.
The new behavior effectively turns the Compatibility View list into an exclusive blacklist of badly behaved sites."
