Student of 17 years is responsible for having made known XSS vulnerability on Twitter Microsoft removes 281,491

17-year-old responsible for having made known XSS vulnerability in Twitter

A middle school student says he was the first surfer to discover and exploit Twitter XSS vulnerability affecting users when passing the mouse over the tweet altered.

Delphin Pearce, an Australian of 17 years known on Twitter as @ zzapha, said he discovered that he could insert JavaScript code in the tweets and began to publish codes of curiosity to see if we could exploit this vulnerability.

"I just did to see if they could do (...) if they really could execute JavaScript with a tweet," said Delphin.

Hackers exploit the vulnerability by showing pop-ups, offering spreading pornographic videos and tweets altered, which maddened the network for five hours until he managed to control the situation.

In theory, the vulnerability could be used to steal passwords from Twitter, but the javscript code had a maximum of 140 characters, as any tweet, so this did not happen and no major damage was caused.

Delphin said he had no malicious intent and did not know it would cause a big problem. "When I posted the tweet I had no idea he would expand so much. Had not even imagined, "said the young.

"I found a vulnerability, did not create any worm to replicate automatically. I have understood that it is not illegal, "said Delphin," I hope I get in trouble! ".

Rumor vulnerability had been discovered more than a month, but Twitter still had not patched. Moreover, some people doubt that Delphin was the first person to discover and exploit it.

Zeus infections in a week

Microsoft removes 281,491 infections Zeus in a week

Gabriela Villarreal (MSRT) to help security companies and Internet users to combat this threat.

20.4% of all threats detected by MSRT during that week were infections of Zeus. In other words, Zeus was the cause of 1 in 5 infections detected. "That figure is higher than we usually find when we add a new family ... but not exceptional," said Jeff Williams, director of the Center Microsoft Malware Protection.

This threat exists since 2007, and Microsoft had to make several changes to its software detection tool that can detect malicious. "This is a complex threat that employs techniques to hinder its removal by antivirus, so we had to make some enhancements to our technology [to detect and eliminate Zeus]," said Williams.

This month, authorities in Britain and the United States issued dozens of arrest warrants for cybercriminals and money mules that used the Zeus Trojan to steal nearly $ 10 million to Internet users worldwide.
