North Korea-linked hackers targeted defectors with Android spyware
When Android malware slips into the Google Play Store, it's usually there to push unwanted ads or perpetuate a scam. McAfee researchers, however, have discovered something more sinister. A North Korean group nicknamed Sun Team recently posted three apps in Google Play that were used to target defectors from the authoritarian country. The attackers contacted people through Facebook in bids to have them install seemingly innocuous "unreleased" apps for food and security. When installed, the rogue apps would send contacts, photos and text messages to the intruders using Dropbox and Russia's Yandex to both upload data and send commands.
MGM takes 'Ronin' and 'Red Dawn' off the table for 2007
MGM's release schedule for the holiday season is getting thinner and thinner. 'Ronin' and 'Red Dawn' are the latest casualties, with both being put on indefinite delay for "marketing reasons." That brings the list of MGM Q4 vaporware announcements to five: 'Battle of Britain' and 'A Bridge Too Far' were pulled last week, and 'The Amityville Horror' was yanked back in October. So what's left? Well, 'Rescue Dawn' now has the dubious distinction as the sole MGM Blu-ray release left for 2007. MGM's been on team blue from day one, and since they're signed up with Fox for home distribution that's not going to change. But with friends like these, who needs enemies?
