The Pit, a BBS door game. In this shot, Lee Hutchinson was attacking these guys. Or, maybe they’re attacking him. Lee Hutchinson Ars Technica’s 20th Anniversary View more stories I was a true nerd growing up in the 1980s—not in the hipster way but in the 10-pound-issue-of-Computer-Shopper–under-my-arm way (these things were seriously huge). I was thoroughly addicted to BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems) by the time I was 10. Maybe it’s no surprise I ended up as a technical director for a science and tech site. In fact, I’d actually draw a direct line between the job of managing your own BBS (aka SysOping) to managing a modern Web infrastructure. And with everyone around Ars looking back given the site’s 20th anniversary, let’s make… Source link

After a Twitter user hacked over 50,000 printers last week to promote PewDiePie’s YouTube channel as part of a guerilla marketing campaign, a new service has spawned over the weekend advertising the same type of functionality, but for everyone. Going under the generic term of “Printer Advertising,” this new service claims it can hack printers all over the world to print out messages on demand, similar to the PewDiePie promo hack that took place over the weekend. “We have the ability to reach every single printer in the world,” claims a website launched on Sunday. “Reservations are limited.” The website was promoted by –you guessed it– flyers sent out to everyone’s printers. A copy of this… Source link

A suspected Chines APT group exploited the recently patched ColdFusion vulnerability in the wild by compromising a vulnerable ColdFusion server after directly uploading a China Chopper webshell. The targeted servers hadn’t been updated with the patch released just two weeks earlier. Volexity researchers observed the active exploitation of the newly patched CVE-2018-15961 flaw, a critical unrestricted file upload bug that could also lead to arbitrary code-execution, in Adobe ColdFusion, despite there being no public details or proof-of-concept code exists, according to a Nov. 8 blog post. “The recent Adobe ColdFusion flaw that has been exploited recently is another example of how quickly malicious actors are to take advantage of recently-patched vulnerabilities,” Justin Jett,… Source link
