Hackers are now targeting        entertainers. In a hacker<span>&rsquo;<\/span>s chat room, LIGATT        Security has learned that hackers are targeting entertainers and their        managers<span>&rsquo;<\/span> home computers. Seeing how much        money can be made from one paparazzi photograph, hackers now have a        vested interest in all private photos, family pictures, nude        photographs, and personal and sexual video footage; they know that one        picture can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars to tabloid        newspapers all over the world.     <\/p>\n<p>       Hackers find it easy to break into entertainers&#39; computers. Common home        users, not just entertainers, get high speed DSL or cable internet        service installed in their homes; they plug them directly into their        computers instead of a firewall that will help protect them. A hacker        will then use port scanning programs to scan IP addresses in certain        areas such as Beverly Hills and Malibu, CA. Once they scan the IP        addresses, they can look for open ports on the entertainer&#39;s computer        (every computer has open ports); then they will use some type of exploit        (<a href=\"http:\/\/cve.mitre.org\/\">http:\/\/cve.mitre.org\/<\/a>) to hack into        the entertainer&#39;s computer through that open port. Local hackers will        drive around certain neighborhoods, like the Hollywood Hills, and pick        up all the wireless networks. Research shows that over 70% of people who        purchase a wireless router do not turn on the security WPA or WEP        encryption. And even if they do have the encryption turned on, a good        hacker will use a program such as Aircrack to break their wireless        encryption code within fifteen minutes.     <\/p>\n<p>       Once the encryption code has been cracked, the hacker will start        searching the hard drive for pictures and files. Some hackers will        install Spyware on the entertainer<span>&rsquo;<\/span>s computer        so that everything the entertainer does on his computer will be emailed        to the hacker. What this means is that all of their emails that they        send\/receive, pictures, screen shots and bank account information will        get emailed to the hacker. This also includes song lyrics, new movie        scripts, contracts, and even the beats to a new song.     <\/p>\n<p>       For the full story go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ligattsecurity.net\/securitywatch\">www.ligattsecurity.net\/securitywatch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>{mos_fb_discuss:32}&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES (BusinessWire EON) September 24, 2007 &#8212; Computer hackers are the new paparazzi.
