Top 5 Most Wanted Hackers, FBI offering $100,000 for each
430
Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI has added 5 Most wanted hackers in their list and offering up to $100,000 for information leading to their arrests.
Well, the amount of reward is really big and off-course exploits of the hackers were also not small, let us give you an introduction of 5 Most wanted hackers:
First two are from Pakistan named Farhan Arshad and Noor Aziz Uddin, they are wanted in an international telecommunications hacking scheme that took place between 2008 and 2012. They both were able to gain unauthorized access to business telephone systems, resulting in losses exceeding $50 million. Arshad and Uddin are part of an international criminal ring that the FBI believes extends into Pakistan, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Spain, Singapore, Italy, Malaysia and elsewhere.
Third one is Carlos Perez-Melara, he is involved in running a fraudulent website in 2003 that offered customers a way to “catch a cheating lover.” Those who took the bait downloaded spyware that secretly installed a program on their computers that allowed scammers to steal the victims’ identities and personal information.
Fourth one is Andrey Nabilebich Tamme, he is involved in a Malware named Opeartion Ghost Click which compromised more than four million computers in more than 100 countries between 2007 and October 2011; there were at least 500,000 victims in the United States alone.
Last, but not the least, Alexsey Belan, he is wanted for allegedly remotely accessing the computer networks of three U.S.-based companies in 2012 and 2013 and stealing sensitive data as well as employees’ identities.

How Do I Configure APC UPS For My LINUX Box For Auto Shut Down
My Linux server is connected to APC SmartUPS using usb cable and I would like to detect a power failure. If power is not restored my server must shutdown when the battery is exhausted. How do I configure and use my APC SmartUPS under RHEL / CentOS / Fedora / Linux operating system for power management?
Linux comes with GPL licensed open source apcupsd server ( daemon ) that can be used for power mangement and controlling most of APC's UPS models on Linux, BSD, Unix and MS-Windows operating systems. Apcupsd works with most of APC's Smart-UPS models as well as most simple signalling models such a Back-UPS, and BackUPS-Office. During a power failure, apcupsd will inform the users about the power failure and that a shutdown may occur. If power is not restored, a system shutdown will follow when the battery is exhausted, a timeout (seconds) expires, or runtime expires based on internal APC calculations determined by power consumption rates.

Connect UPS : You need to connect the UPS to your Server using cable. Your will see an entry in /var/log/messages which will tell you that the UPS is connected.
Configure the UPS :
# vi /etc/apcupsd/pacupsd.conf
First give your UPS a name, this is particulary useful when you have multiple UPS installed in the office UPSNAME officeups1
Next, defines the type of cable connecting the UPS to your Linux BOX. In this example I am connecting my UPS using usb cable ... UPSCABLE usb
### Set UPS type to USB ### UPSTYPE usb device
Configuration Parameters ONBATTERYDELAY 6 - This defines the time in seconds from when a power failure is detected until we react to it with a onbattery event.
BATTERYLEVEL 5 - If during a power failure the remaining battery percentage *as reported by the UPS* is below or equal to MINUTES apcupsd will initiate a shutdown to the Linux BOX

This news is about the smallest teen hacker we ever reported. Twelve-year-Old hacker from Canada admitted “He hacked government and police websites for an Anonymous operation that took place last year.
According to the information we got from Googling is, he took part in hacking of several govt. websites that include:
- Website of the Quebec Institute of Public Health
- Website of the Montreal police
- Website of a government organization from Chile.
Small teen hacks caused damage of around $60,000 (€41,700).
The Grade 5 student from the Montreal suburb of Notre-Dame- de-Grâce, whose actions were not politically motivated, traded pirated information to Anonymous for video games, court was told.
Teen used DDoS attacks to take down websites, defaced websites, and leaked data from their servers, according to the authorities.
He has pleaded guilty of what he did, other fellows of hacks have been arrested, but the 12-year-boy was the one who taught others—how to penetrate websites.

NSA hacked Email of Mexican president and top leaders
NSA hacked Email of Mexican president and top leaders
168
Latest documents released by Snowden reflect—Mexican President and Top leaders also got hunted through NSA undisclosed program called “Flatliquid”.
Eavesdropping on Mexican Country has been done by NSA for years. It hacked into the president’s public email account and gained deep insight into policymaking and the political system, Der Spiegel reported.
Spiegel reported some un-disclosed NSA programs from the documents provided by Snowden. Like a country use special forces to handle some special targets, as it is NSA has a division for particularly difficult missions called “Flatliquid”, Mexico was targeted through this special program.
Along with the “Flatliquid”—an another program named “Whitetamale” also spied on senior Mexican politicians (including presidential candidate Peña Nieto), targeting efforts to change the country’s disastrous War on Drugs.
In May 2010, the special division “Flatliquid” reported as Mission Mexico Completed. A report classified as “top secret” said: “TAO successfully exploited a key mail server in the Mexican Presidencia domain within the Mexican Presidential network to gain first-ever access to President Felipe Calderon’s public email account.”
Secret documents also revealed happiness of US intelligence agency for their success onto Mexico:
“These TAO accesses into several Mexican government agencies are just the beginning — we intend to go much further against this important target,” the document reads. It goes on to state that the divisions responsible for this surveillance are “poised for future successes.”
This revelation will affect the relationship between U.S & Mexico for sure. Let’s wait ‘n’ watch for some upcoming comments by NSA.
Pena Nieto’s predecessor as president, Felipe Calderon, was also targeted. An image from the NSA Presentation VIA- Der Spiegel

Anonymous raise for Justice, launch #OpMaryville for Daisy Coleman rape case
Anonymous raise for Justice, launch #OpMaryville for Daisy Coleman rape case
95
A new face of Anonymous hackers came out, when they announced their peaceful operation #OpMaryville for the case of 14-year-old Daisy Coleman and her 13-year-old friend, who were allegedly abused by two boys, one of whom was the grandson of state official Rex Barnett.
The Daisy case was closed in 2012 and charges were dropped from those boys, but Now, Anonymous wants an investigation on the case again because of the lack of charges.
In an online statement Anonymous released on pastebin, scheduled the time and venue of the protest, they write:
On Tuesday, October 22, 2013, at 10:00am we will meet at the Nodaway County Courthouse in Maryville, Missouri with daisies in our hands for a peaceful protest in support of Daisy Coleman.
Along with the case reopening, Anonymous also calling media to file FOIA requests to discover any connections between Matthew’s grandfather, Missouri State Rep. Rex Barnett, Maryville law enforcement and the prosecutors who dropped Daisy’s case.
Anonymous also created an event on facebook named “Justice for Daisy” and you can find more people talking about this operation with hashtags—#OpMaryville and #Justice4Daisy.
We also got an update from twitter, about the Video that Anonymous released regarding #OpMaryville was deleted by YouTube because the video itself violates the Community Guidelines (according to YouTube.)
In the meantime the video shows nothing and shows a message which reads, “The Video has been removed as a violations of YouTube policy against spam, scams, and commercially deceptive content”
On the deletion of the YouTube video, one of the Anonymous hacker says, “The video was uploaded on October 14, so why did YouTube started to censor this video 2 days after the upload. Mainstream media, blogs, social networks etc. pick up this topic (including the video) and rised up to a national topic. The video raised to 130.000+ views until it was censored by the YouTube Team.”
