TeaMp0isoN Threatened Authorities After Leader's Arrest

Posted by Avik Sarkar On 4/19/2012 06:01:00 pm

TeaMp0isoN Threatened Authorities After Leader's Arrest 

Few days ago a hacker collective group named TeaMp0isoN took responsibility of hacking into British intelligence agency (MI6). Immediately after the attack MI6 arrested the leader of TeaMp0isoN code named "TriCk" along with few other active members who ware directly involved behind the Denial of Service attack on MI6. But the story is not over yet. The official twitter account of TeaMp0isoN issued a warning that it will fight back against the arrest of its members. 

The group linked to a Pastebin statement with a call for other hackers to unite in attacking law enforcement agencies. 

Message of TeaMp0isoN:- 
"We've lost the first and most important member of our team; our founder, our brother, our family member. Most importantly we lost a fighter for freedom, a fighter against corruption.
He strived for justice, and constantly fought against oppression and corruption, to help spread awareness on humanitarian causes, and now, he is no longer with us.
Most of you think that this is end of TeaMp0isoN and that this is end of our fight.
We're glad to shout:
#################################
#_ITS NOT OVER, IT JUST STARTED_#
#_ITS NOT OVER, WE ARE STRONGER_#
#_ITS NOT OVER, WE ARE UNITED_  #
#################################

I ask you, a fellow hacker, as a blackhat, to rise, to unite and to fight. For years the hacking scene for the most part has been misrepresented by skids, who have inevitably led to the copious amounts of faggotry and butthurt which currently pollutes the scene. Whitehats continue to lurk and grow, and nothing is preventing them from disclosing exploits.
As a collective we have to stop this, to ascend out of the underground and show the world we are not fucking around, something which TriCk firmly believed in. We, as hackers, have to unite to revive the blackhat scene, for TriCk... and everything that we stand for.

Earlier TeaMp0isoN was directly involved with Anonymous in #OpRobinHood #OpCensorThis. Also they have found SQL-i vulnerability on the Official NASA forum, and like this attack TeaMp0isoN also hacked English Defence League (EDL) and exposed members personal data & many more.

This final release mainly focuses on bug-fixes as well as the addition of over 60 new tool. A whole new tool category was populated – “Physical Exploitation”, which now includes tools such as the Arduino IDE and libraries, as well as the Kautilya Teensy payload collection.

SAP Will Patch Their Vulnerability Which Was Exposed By (Blackhat 2011 US)

Posted by Avik Sarkar On 8/06/2011 10:49:00 pm


A reportedly serious security bug affecting the J2EE (Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition) engine in SAP's NetWeaver middleware will be patched soon, SAP said Friday.
NetWeaver underpins SAP's range of enterprise software, including its flagship Business Suite ERP (enterprise resource planning) product. The bug was discussed by security researcher and ERPScan CTO Alexander Polyakov during a presentation at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas on Thursday.
The vulnerability makes it possible to crack SAP systems over the Internet by circumventing authorization checks, Polyakov wrote in a blog post before the conference. "For example, it is possible to create a user and assign him to the administrators group using two unauthorized requests to the system."
The attack is also possible on systems that are protected by two-factor authentication systems that use both a secret key and password, he added. ERPscan is making a tool that can detect the problem available at no charge.
"SAP is working closely with Alexander Polyakov on this issue," SAP spokesman Andy Kendzie said in a statement Friday. "SAP will deliver a patch to its customers shortly."
The patch will come as part of a regular security update, and not an out-of-cycle emergency fix, he added.
The news comes shortly after Oracle's release of Java SE 7. The language update shipped with bugs that Oracle engineers knew about prior to the release, a move met with serious consternation from some critics. Oracle plans to fix the bug in an update.

Android becomes second most popular malware

Posted by Avik Sarkar On 6/02/2011 03:51:00 pm



The first quarter was the most active in malware history and mobile attacks are moving to the forefront, according to McAfee data. Android attacks are also picking up. McAfee’s first quarter threat report noted that attacks surged in the first quarter, but spam has fallen. In fact, there were 6 million unique malware samples in the first quarter, the highest ever for the first three months of the year. February had the most new malware samples—2.75 million. Fake anti-virus software—think Mac Defender—reached its highest levels in march with 350,000 unique samples. As for emerging threats, McAfee noted that Android devices are becoming malware havens. Android was the second most popular environment for mobile malware behind Symbian in the first quarter. Historically, Android remains No. 3.

McAfee Labs combats several developing families of malware that attack Android phones. One of the families, Android/DrdDream, comprises a variety of legitimate games and apps that have been injected with malicious code. These threats are unique and quite dangerous due to the use of two root exploits to gain greater control of those phones. The two exploits—Exploit/LVedu and Exploit/DiutesEx—were initially used by users trying to gain legitimate root access to their own devices, a process commonly referred to as rooting.1 In the PC world, malware often uses exploits to enable drive-by downloads that infect machines visiting specially designed or compromised websites. For mobile devices, much of the malware has required user interaction, but in the near future mobile exploits will certainly allow automatic malware installation. Like Android/DrdDream, the Android/Drad family is made up of maliciously modified applications.
This family sends device information to an attacker-controlled site. Just like in the PC malware world, Android/Drad listens for commands from the attacker. The malware can also download additional software, though it stops short of being a full-fledged mobile botnet. It appears that the malware uses blackhat search-engine optimization techniques, a process of manipulating search engine results to place dangerous sites higher than they should appear in lists of hits.

More details will be released along with the full listing of new tools on the 13th of August.

Also the hacker has claimed that he has breached all the data from that particular server. Since 2011 Teamgreyhat has became very popular form for hackers and also TGH is regarded as one of the most dangerous blackhat team as because if you dig the history you will find that TGH has rooted many web-servers and hacked millions of sites. Their last breach on Ankit Fadia's server gave them more popularity. But this hack will surely make a negative impact of TGH's reputation. The hacker also created deface mirror on the Arab-zone.

Teamgreyhat Reaction:- 
After this hack Teamgreyhat authority instantly released their statement. And in that they have clearly ignored the phenomena by saying Hunt (One Who Hacked The TGH Forum) belongs to TGH core team and he has full privilege on their server. In short he was maintaining that web-server. So a Admin can easily damage his own system. Also they have clearly stated that this is an internal attack. The hacker knew all the passwords and by which he logged into the system and changed the index page. To see the full press release of TGH click Here.
