When the Summer Olympics roll around, you can count on some intense competition in key events like gymnastics. But for 2012, the action isn't just on the mat. It seems that distributing and battling malware and phishing efforts disguised as Olympics apps and info are practically an exhibition sport this summer. An app called "London Olympics Widget" seems harmless enough, but according to Bradley Webroot's security blog, it actually rifles through your contacts, device info, and text messages. It's no longer available via the Google Play store, but it's still listed on an Australian site aggregating Android apps, where there are plenty of the telltale signs of skeezy code, including this odd Gmail contact address and English grammar that's not quite right.Other bits of evidence suggest the app isn't what it appears to be it's digitally signed from New Delhi, and its own screenshots reveal that, well, it's a pretty lame-looking widget. GFI Software also claims to have found Russian servers hosting sites posing as legit app stores to push out the nasty code to unsuspecting Android devices, making the former Soviet republic competitive in both the medal and malware count this year. Hijacking Olympics fever for fits of digital nastiness didn't originate with the 2012 Games, but using Android as the major vehicle for such efforts may have. Back in 2008, when the Games were in Beijing, more than a dozen different Trojan horses were spotted attached to e-mails with subject lines like "The Beijing 2008 Torch Relay." Those e-mail attacks are back for the London Games as well, and if you've been duped in the process of obsessively tracking the medal count, there's a removal tool now available. Bradley Associates also has this helpful list of some of the Olympics-related threats seen this summer. It's a handy reference to check before you click. You've been warned, Olympics fans. Now let's get back to the Games. But just remember â€

Blizzard Entertainment säger användare bör ändra lösenord efter hackare få tillgång till e-adresser och andra data. Miljontals spelare av Blizzard Entertainment Diablo, World of Warcraft, Starcraft och andra onlinespel har varnats för att ändra sina lösenord efter företaget visade att det var hacka den 4 augusti. Blizzard Entertainment säger det har några bevis för att en inkräktare förvärvade kreditkortsinformation, fakturering adresser eller spelares namn. Men det sa att hackare skulle kunna få tillgång till andra uppgifter, inklusive e-post adresser och svar på spelarnas personlig säkerhetsfrågor. Blizzard säger det inte anser att sådan information som enbart är tillräckligt för någon att få tillgång till dess Battle.net onlinekonton, som låter folk spela med andra runt om i världen online. Det varnade användare att akta oss för "phishing" e-postmeddelanden som kanske går ut på att komma från företaget ber folk att följa en länk att återställa lösenord. De ska ignoreras och användarna bör i stället logga in direkt på platsen med ett bokmärke. Företaget säger också hackare tog krypterade versioner av lösenord. Som en försiktighetsåtgärd rekommenderar man att spelare ändra sina lösenord. Blizzard, som är en division av Activision Blizzard Inc, säga inte hur många konton påverkades, men det finns miljoner av konton på datorn. "Vi uppmuntrar våra nordamerikanska spelare att ändra sina lösenord," sade företaget i en FAQ-sida om att hacka. (Battle.net användare kan klicka här för att logga in.) Efter utför en säkerhetsgranskning fruktar Blizzard nu att hackare har fått tillgång till de data som används för att återställa eller ändra lösenord, inklusive "hemlig" frågor och svar. Mobila användare uppmuntras också att uppdatera sin programvara. "Vi uppmanar alla medlemmar i vår gemenskap att noga övervaka alla deras online konton," sade företaget. Att hacka

An app called "London Olympics Widget" seems harmless enough, but according to Bradley Webroot's security blog, it actually rifles through your contacts, device info, and text messages. It's no longer available via the Google Play store, but it's still listed on an Australian site aggregating Android apps, where there are plenty of the telltale signs of skeezy code, including this odd Gmail contact address and English grammar that's not quite right.Other bits of evidence suggest the app isn't what it appears to be it's digitally signed from New Delhi, and its own screenshots reveal that, well, it's a pretty lame-looking widget. GFI Software also claims to have found Russian servers hosting sites posing as legit app stores to push out the nasty code to unsuspecting Android devices, making the former Soviet republic competitive in both the medal and malware count this year. Hijacking Olympics fever for fits of digital nastiness didn't originate with the 2012 Games, but using Android as the major vehicle for such efforts may have. Back in 2008, when the Games were in Beijing, more than a dozen different Trojan horses were spotted attached to e-mails with subject lines like "The Beijing 2008 Torch Relay." Those e-mail attacks are back for the London Games as well, and if you've been duped in the process of obsessively tracking the medal count, there's a removal tool now available. Bradley Associates also has this helpful list of some of the Olympics-related threats seen this summer. It's a handy reference to check before you click. You've been warned, Olympics fans. Now let's get back to the Games. But just remember
