According to German news magazine Der Spiegel, the German Aerospace Center DLR was the target of an espionage attack for several weeks. According to Der Spiegel the attack might be led by a foreign secret service.
An insider named China as the country that might be behind the attack. Chinese letters throughout the malware code and typos typical for Middle Asia seem to proof the suspense. The insider also said that it might just be a trick in order to give prosecutors the wrong impression that China is the attacker. Therefore the attack could actually come from the American intelligence agency NSA. The attack is explosive since the German Aerospace Center not only stores data concerning other solar systems but also about armament and rocket technology.

A software flaw called ‘heartbleed’ affects countless web and email servers worldwide. Heartbleed gives attackers the chance to steal cryptographic keys that are used to secure online commerce and web connections via OpenSSL. Since the flaw also affects email servers, attackers can get their hands on personal information as soon as someone logs on to a vulnerable email server.
SSL is an encryption protocol designed to provide a secure data transmission via Internet. It is the most common technology to secure websites. By using techniques like Public Key Encryption, the SSL creates a certificate which contains information about the server. The SSL protocol provides authentication of the server with which the browser communicates to ensure its legitimacy.
Cybercriminals are not only able to read the encrypted data because of heartbleed, but take the encryption key used to secure the data. So simply patching the bug doesn’t help to solve the heartbleed problem. Affected servers have to update all their keys to make sure the encrypted data is safe again. What the heartbleed flaw means for site-operators and software vendors can be read on Kaspersky Lab’s security blog Threatpost.com
