Leaked: screenshots of Morro, Microsoft's free antivirus
By emil.protalinski@arstechnica.com (Emil Protalinski) on Morro
Morro is the codename for a free, real-time antimalware solution for consumers to be released in the second half of 2009. It will offer basic features for fighting viruses, spyware, rootkits, and trojans. Microsoft is getting ready to put Morro into testing over the next few weeks, but it appears that certain testers (including Microsoft employees) already have it and are taking it for a spin. Neowin managed to obtain three screenshots (one of which is shown above) of Morro, which has yet to get a final name.

Safari Charlie to reveal unsigned iPhone code exploit
By chris.foresman@arstechnica.com (Chris Foresman) on unsigned code
Security researcher Charlie Miller and Vincenzo Iozzo, a student at the University of Milan, recently discovered a repeatable method to trick the iPhone's processor to run unsigned code. The pair now plan reveal their work at the Black Hat Security Conference in Las Vegas next month.
There have been very few exploits for the iPhone thus far, since the iPhone's security system generally prevents running arbitrary code. However, Miller and Iozzo discovered a method to enable a working shell, which could let a hacker do virtually anything within the system, including copying private data. Their method, combined with an iPhone OS exploit, has the potential to allow hackers to run virtually any code they want on the device. We talked to Miller to get some more details about how this is possible.

An Odyssey of Fraud
In Web Fraud 2.0
Andy Kordopatis is the proprietor of Odyssey Bar, a modest watering hole in Pocatello, Idaho, a few blocks away from Idaho State University. Most of his customers pay for their drinks with cash, but about three times a day he receives a phone call from someone he's never served -- in most cases someone who's never even been to Idaho -- asking why their credit or debit card has been charged a small amount by his establishment. Kordopatis says he can usually tell what's coming next when the caller immediately asks to speak with the manager or owner. "That's when I start telling them that I know why they're calling, and about the Russian hackers who are using my business," Kordopatis said. The Odyssey Bar is but one of dozens of small establishments throughout the United States seemingly picked at random by organized cyber criminals to serve as unwitting pawns
Top Security Minds Urge Google to Encrypt All Services
In From the Bunker
A who's-who of more than three dozen high-tech and security experts from industry and academia is urging Google to beef up the privacy and security settings of its Gmail, Google Docs and Calendar online services. At issue is whether Google is doing enough to block hackers from hijacking a user's Webmail account or intercepting information from online documents. An increasing number of free, publicly available tools may make it simple for even novice hackers to launch such attacks. "Google's default settings put customers at risk unnecessarily. Google's services protect customers' usernames and passwords from interception and theft," said the experts, including luminaries from AT&T, PGP Corp. and top researchers from Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Oxford and Purdue. "However, when a user composes email, documents, spreadsheets, presentations and calendar plans, this potentially sensitive content is transferred to Google's servers in the clear, allowing anyone with the right tools to steal that information."
