A DIY UAV That Hacks Wi-Fi Networks, Cracks Passwords, and Poses as a Cell Phone Tower | Popular Science:
they’ll be showing off a functioning homemade spy drone that can sniff out Wi-Fi networks, autonomously crack passwords, and even eavesdrop on your cell phone calls by posing as a cell tower... the duo has taught their WASP a new way to surreptitiously gather intel from the ground: pose as a GSM cell phone tower to trick phones into connecting through WASP rather than their carriers... Tassey and Perkins say they built WASP so show just how easy it is, and just how vulnerable you are. “We wanted to bring to light how far the consumer industry has progressed, to the point where public has access to technologies that put companies, and even governments at risk from this new threat vector that they’re not aware of,” Perkins told Forbes.

Hacked PCs falsify billions of ad clicks - FT.com:
Even the wild west analogy barely steps up to the scale and potential financial and economic impact of intrusions on and attacks into the new internet infrastructure where rules and laws are made in real-time by gangsters, warriors, terrorists, entrepreneurs, and state actors, to exploit and capitalize and profit from gaming the system. Attacks in the future will not be conventional bombs, and suicide vests, but rater processes perturbing transactions resulting in chaos in financial systens as confidence evaporates.

Massive botnet 'indestructible,' say researchers - Computerworld
Massive botnet 'indestructible,' say researchers - Computerworld
[This may open up new markets for "secure platform" computing based on Macintosh OSX and Chrome OS]
A new and improved botnet that has infected more than four million PCs is "practically indestructible," security researchers say.
"TDL-4," the name for both the bot Trojan that infects machines and the ensuing collection of compromised computers, is "the most sophisticated threat today," said Kaspersky Labs researcher Sergey Golovanov in adetailed analysis Monday.
...
TDL-4's makers use the botnet to plant additional malware on PCs, rent it out to others for that purpose and for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and to conduct spam and phishing campaigns. Kaspersky said TDL-4 has installed nearly 30 different malicious programs on the PCs it controls.
