*** Wait a minute... that's not a real JPG! ***
---------------------------------------------
When attackers compromise a website and want to harvest credit cards, they need to either find where the data is stored or capture the data in transit. This blog post shows how identifying files with false file signatures can uncover malicious activity on a server. I recently discovered credit card data hidden behind a .jpg extension that lead me to the work of an attacker capturing credit cards from customers using an online checkout page.

*** Scanning for Symantec Endpoint Manager, (Mon, Feb 17th) ***
---------------------------------------------
Last week, we mentioned a new vulnerability in Symantec Endpoint Protection Management. According to Symantecs advisory, this product listens on port 9090 and 8443/TCP. Both ports are scanned regularly for various vulnerabilities, in particular 8443, being that it is frequently used by web servers as an alternative to 443. However, on February 7th, we detected a notable increase in scans for both ports.
