Search engines are the vehicles that drive potential customers to your websites. But in order for visitors to reach their destination – your website – you need to provide them with specific and effective signs that will direct them right to your site. You do this by creating carefully chosen keywords.

Think of the right keywords as the Open Sesame! of the Internet. Find the exactly right words or phrases, and presto! hoards of traffic will be pulling up to your front door. But if your keywords are too general or too over-used, the possibility of visitors actually making it, all the way to your site – or of seeing any real profits from the visitors that do arrive – decreases dramatically.

Reported by The Next Web, a developer created a plugin for the Google Chrome browser that can watch users’ login information and send that information to him via email. The programmer who created the attack, Andreas Grech, coded the plugin in jQuery. Grech is only demonstrating the attack and isn’t using it maliciously but it is more than a proof of concept, it’s real and in the wild. He details the attack on his blog and reveals the code behind the exploit. He says that he has tested it and it has been successful against major sites like Facebook, Gmail, and Twitter.
Grech’s explanation from his blog of how the attack works:
The Google Chrome browser allows the installation of third-party extensions that are used to extend the browser to add new features. The extensions are written in JavaScript and HTML and allow manipulation of the DOM, amongst other features.
By allowing access to the DOM, an attacker can thus read form fields…including username and password fields. This is what sparked my idea of creating this PoC.
The extension I present here is very simple. Whenever a user submits a form, it tries to capture the username and password fields, sends me an email via an Ajax call to a script with these login details along with the url and then proceeds to submit the form normally as to avoid detection.
Grech also mentions that while he used this attack to steal login information, it could also be used to steal cookies or hijack browsing sessions. This attack is a good reminder that IE isn’t the only vulnerable browser around and to be cautious when installing 3rd-party extensions. Until Google patches this hole, right now it is a good idea to be extra careful about checking whether a plugin comes from a reputable source.

A new malware attack has been circulating Facebook lately which puts a link on the user’s newsfeed claiming to be the “sexiest video ever”. When clicked the program tries to access the user’s info and if they allow that it will prompt them to install a new version of a FLV video player and starts downloading an .exe.

The file it actually downloads is Hotbar Adware which puts a toolbar in the browser and displays ads based on browsing habits. The Facebook application will also post messages on friend’s walls with the same video link and “sexiest video ever” message.
If the user doesn’t allow the application to access their info they are safe.

If a user has gotten the malware the Daily Mail reports that Graham Cluely from security software developer Sophos said: “If you were one of them [that got attacked], you should scan your computer with an up-to-date anti-virus, change your passwords, review your Facebook application settings, and learn not to be so quick as to fall for a simple social engineering trick like this in future.”
