A hacker group (Gnosis) has claimed to have successfully carried out an attack on Gawker Media, the parentcompany of sites like Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Kotaku, and Gawker. The group has posted an extensive list of usernames and passwords of Gawker Media accounts, including the company's founder Nick Denton. According to the information on PasteBin, Denton uses the same password for many of his accounts across the Internet. In addition, FTP information was taken in the attack.
At this point in time, it's unclear which hacker group is responsible for the attack. The PasteBin was filed by someone going by the name "Gnosis," as seen in the ASCII art at the top of the document. In addition, the name carries the tagline "Where is your god now!?!?" With that being said, the person who filed the PasteBin document does make some references to renowned hacker group "Anonymous." However, it's unclear if he/she is associated with Anonymous or is just using that name.
This is the second time Gawker Media has been hacked in the last year. The first time was in early December 2010, where thousands of accounts were compromised.

This institutionalised impunity with which the killings of civilians by military and police forces in Jammu and Kashmir continues should be a source of shame for India which propagates to be a democracy! Kashmir does not want militarized governance - STOP killing children, raping women and imprisoning the men! They just want freedom! Freedom from the evil of the Indian Military! You will never kill the Kashmiri spirit and remember one thing India; Ghandi himself said - Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living? Everyday 100s of innocent people are abused, raped and even killed in kashmir by the indian army, a third of the deaths are children, - we dont want war, take back your men, your tanks and your guns and go back to where you came from, all we ask is for freedom, you can kill us but you cant kill us all, we shall not give up, giving up is not an option. who are the real soldiers? the childs holding stones or the Army men holding guns?..."
Skype’s integration with Facebook is being touted as “the best of both worlds” but the new Skype 5.5 for Windows update contains a highly-critical security flaw that allows Skype session hijacks or even full system compromise.
The vulnerability surfaced after David Vieira-Kurz posted the proof of concept video above to the Secalert website. Apparently, he had "found a few security issues which makes it possible to hijack a Skype Session and compromise a user's system due to a lack output sanitization." According to an advisory posted at secalert.net, an attacker can exploit a system even if the victim is not a Facebook friend or a Skype contact.
The Skype security blog has not yet acknowledged the flaw.
The Following Video Will Clarify the Entire Matter:-
An 18-year-old British man Jake Davis arrested on suspicion of being a spokesman for hacking groups LulzSec and Anonymous was granted bail when he appeared in a London court on Monday. Jake Davis is charged with hacking into websites, including that of Britain's Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA), which was out of service for several hours on June 20 after apparently being targeted. Davis was arrested on Wednesday at his home on the Shetland Islands, north of the Scottish mainland. He faces five charges, including conspiring to carry out a distributed denial of service attack on SOCA, the British equivalent of the FBI. Such attacks flood websites with traffic to make them crash. Davis wore a grey-blue shirt and a black T-shirt and clutched a book as he appeared in the dock at the City of Westminster Magistrates Court in London.
He appeared relaxed and spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth. District Judge Howard Riddle told the teenager he will have to appear in Southwark Crown Court in London on August 30 and granted him bail with stringent conditions and a curfew attached.
He is barred from using the Internet or having access to any computer or mobile phone and must remain indoors from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am at his mother's home in Lincolnshire, eastern England. The alleged hacker is said to use the online nickname "Topiary" and present himself as a spokesman for LulzSec and Anonymous. LulzSec has claimed responsibility for a 50-day rampage earlier this year against international businesses and government agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency and Senate in the United States and electronics giant Sony. Another alleged British member of the group was released by a court on bail in June after being diagnosed with autism.
Ryan Cleary, 19, has been charged with offences including hacking into the SOCA website.
