Java 7 Update 21 is available - Watch for Behaviour Changes !, (Tue, Apr 16th) SANS Internet Storm Center, InfoCON: green(cached at April 16, 2013, 11:30 pm)

Several of our readers have written in to let us know about the latest Java Update. 

So why isn't this a normal one-liner with a pointer off to the readme?  Because Oracle has significantly changed how Java runs with this version.  Java now requires code signing, and will pop up brightly coloured dialogue boxes if your code is not signed.  They now alert on unsigned, signed-but-expired and self-signed certificates.

We'll even need to click "OK" when we try to download and execute signed and trusted Java.

This is a really positive move on their part - with as many problems as Java has, it'll be nice to stop blaming the developers of the language entirely for malicious code - Java doesn't give you malware, running malware gives you malware. 

(not that Java is perfect, mind you)

 

The graphics you can expect to see once you update are:

Valid Certificate Self-Signed Certificate

 

 

Expired Certificate Unsigned Application

Full details on the new run policy can be found here ==> https://www.java.com/en/download/help/appsecuritydialogs.xml

And more information can be found here ==> http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/java-code-signing-1915323.html

Pirate Bay Co-Founder Indicted For Hacking, Fraud Slashdotby Soulskill on crime at January 1, 1970, 1:00 am (cached at April 16, 2013, 11:02 pm)

An anonymous reader writes "Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, a.k.a. 'anakata,' co-founder of The Pirate Bay, has been indicted by a Swedish court on charges of computer hacking and fraud. The prosecuting attorney said, 'A large amount of data from companies and agencies was taken during the hack, including a large amount of personal data, such as personal identity numbers of people with protected identities.' According to Ars, 'The first count of hacking involves allegedly unlawfully using another person's username and password to search Infotorg, a well-known massive privately held commercial database of "private individuals, companies, properties and vehicles." The second count, as previously reported, involves an alleged hack dating back to 2010 of Logica, a Swedish IT firm that contracts with the Swedish tax authority. In March 2012, Logica was hit by an online attack that resulted in around 9,000 Swedes (Google Translate) having their personal identity numbers and names released to the public. ... The third count of hacking, allegedly taking place between July and August 2012, accuses Svartholm Warg of unauthorized access of major Nordic region bank Nordea's computers. The fraud charges accuse Svartholm Warg of allegedly transferring and attempting to transfer money from Nordea to other unauthorized bank accounts.'"
