FireEye spots crooks using old tricks to avoid detection
A cyber attack that uses Google Docs to avoid detection in order to steal information has been spotted in the wild.
Security firm FireEye reported uncovering the campaign, warning that the crooks are using advanced malware to mount a targeted spear phishing campaign designed to steal corporate and personal data from a variety of victims.
FireEye researcher Chong Rong Hwa wrote: "The FireEye research team has recently identified a number of spear phishing activities targeting Asia and ASEAN [Association of Southeast Asian Nations]. Of these, one of the spear phishing documents was suspected to have used a potentially stolen document as a decoy.
Gust MEES's insight:
"This malware was found to have used a number of advanced techniques, which makes it interesting. The malware leverages Google Docs to perform redirection to evade callback detection."

Drew Houston of Dropbox speaks during the Digital Life Design conference (DLD) at HVB Forum on January 23, 2012 in Munich, Germany. Dropbox is investigating whether its security was breached, leading to spam messages to users.
Cloud services are the ballyhooed future of software, information storage, device management and whatever else you can think of that requires the use of a computer or device. Which is why Dropbox’s current investigation into itself gives pause. The preeminent cloud-company is checking to see whether its security has been breached, leading to a rash of spam emails sent to users.
