Yes, Virustotal.com appears to be down and/or not resolve correctly in DNS at the moment.

Update: Looks like they're back.

iPhone GPS Data Storage

We received a number of comments regarding the release of the iPhone tracker [1], a tool which plots geo location data stored in iOS backups. All iOS devices (iPhone as well as iPad) will accumulate location information over time, and store it as part of backup files. The iPhone tracker will read this file and plot the information.

However, this information is not sent to any remote sides (at least not that this is known so far). Mobile operators may of course keep their own geo location data. As a simple counter measure, it is recommended to encrypt backups using a strong password.

And of course yet more interesting data for mobile forensics.

Verizon have published their comprehensive annual breach investigations report today. Their analysis makes for interesting reading, for example they point out that a whopping 86% of breaches were discovered by outside third parties, and not by the victim organization internally. The chart on top of page 55/56 in the report shows, quite compellingly, the average time spans between "intrusion" and "compromise", as well as between "compromise" and "discovery". The former is in minutes to days, the latter in weeks to months.  As for the cause of the breaches:  "Exploitation of default or guessable credentials" is in the top three.  Kinda where Cliff Stoll was already at, 20 years ago

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
