Hackers launched a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against the computer systems of Polish airline LOT, grounding 1,400 passengers for five hours and canceling 10 flights. The DDoS attack overloaded LOT's network with too many communication requests. Separately, the hacker group Anonymous took down the Canadian government website for several hours in protest of an anti-terror law through a similar DDoS attack overloading the server. In addition, security experts warned of a new malware called "Bioazih" that can acquire aliases and execute remote commands on infected systems without authorization.

2.  WARSAW: Around 1,400 passengers of the Polish
airline LOT were grounded at Warsaw's Chopin
airport on Sunday after hackers attacked the airline
ground computer systems used to issue flight
plans, the company said.The computer system was
hacked in the afternoon and fixed after around five
hours, during which 10 of the state-owned carrier's
national and international flights were cancelled
and about a dozen more delayed.

3.  The systems were hacked due to the attack
known as a Distributed Denial of Service
(DDoS) attack -- when a hacker floods an
organization's system with so many
communication requests that it overloads
the server, and it can no longer carry out its
normal functions.
 "This was a capacity attack, which
overloaded our network," said the
spokesman, Adrian Kubicki.

4.  Blocking the Attack with Packet Filters on the Router(s)
 Blocking the attack by configuring Windows Firewall.
In this a script is created to configure firewall so
it automatically blocks IP addresses when a hacker
attack is detected
netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="disallow Hacker IP"
# ignore wrapping, this should all be on one line netsh
advfirewall firewall add rule name="disallow Hacker IP"
action=block enable=yes profile=any localip=any protocol=any
dir=in
remoteip=67.219.58.161,69.163.239.247,174.122.60.235,216.

5.  Hackers hacked Canadian government websites for
several hours on Wednesday. The hacker
collective Anonymous took responsibility in an
online video, saying it was done in protest of a
controversial anti-terror law that dramatically
expands the powers and reach of Canada's spy
agency.
 The government's public website for applying for
social services and downloading official forms was
briefly shut down in this cyber-attack

6.  The government website was hacked due to
the attack known as a Distributed Denial of
Service (DDoS) attack

7.  The Computer Emergency Response Team of India
(CERT-In) has detected that the malware identified as
'Bioazih' which can acquire as many as five aliases to
hide its evil designs and "can execute commands
remotely, upload data, download and execute files" in
an unauthorsied manner.
 "It has been reported that a new malware having
backdoor functionalities dubbed as 'Bioazih' is
spreading. The malware propagates by means of
spear phishing emails containing attached malicious
document exploiting Microsoft Office vulnerability or
the Remote Access Trojan (RAT) may infect the
targeted users system by means of malware dropper
also," CERT-In said in its latest advisory to Internet
users.

8.  This malware family can give a malicious hacker access and
control of your PC.
These threats can be installed when you open a spam email
attachment.
The following can indicate that you have this threat on your PC:
You have these files:
1-%ProgramFiles% common filesConfig.exe
2-%ProgramFiles% Startupcsrss.exe
3- dmdskngr.dll
4- dmserver.dll
5- dssemh.dll
6-%SystemRoot% tasksconime.exe
7-%SystemRoot% tasksctfmon.exe
8- tdmserver.dll
 TO protect from this Windows Defender for Windows 8.1or
Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows 7 and Windows
Vista is used

9.  Internet users were denied access to Google
Inc's Malaysia website, and were redirected to
a hacked page saying "Google Malaysia
Hacked by Tiger-Mate #Bangladeshi Hacker".

10.  Google Malaysia itself noted that there has
been no hack of its systems, though, and
this, rather, is a DNS redirect attack
