<span class="main-article-info">After <i>Snapchat </i>hack, this can be another worst data breach of the new year. A Pakistani hacker '<i>H4x0r HuSsY</i>' has successfully compromised the official Forum of '<i><b>openSUSE</b></i>', a Linux distro developed, sponsored & supported by SUSE.</span><br />
<span class="main-article-info"><span class="main-article-info"></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RexHacker managed to deface the Forum and uploaded its custom message page 
as shown and account information of 79,500 registered users' may have 
been compromised. (The forum was defaced at the time of writing - <a href="http://forums.opensuse.org/vbseo_sitemap/">Check Here</a>)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The popular website MacRumors's Forum was compromised in last November using an alleged zero day exploit, which is based on <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="b2fc3a4d-d8dc-4578-9cfc-6e926483d3c1">vBulletin</span>, a famous forum software. The openSUSE Forum is also based upon <i><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="47f596c0-e166-4cba-8614-1da727c6734f">vBulletin</span>.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another interesting fact is that openSUSE is still using <b><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="67b798ee-dfe4-44cb-9de3-0f1be2987117">vBulletin</span> 4.2.1</b>, which is vulnerable to <span style="text-align: left;">inject rogue administrator accounts flaw. Whereas,</span> the latest patched <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="f2d8f156-ba3a-4340-9dac-4e264b084ec0">vBulletin</span> 5.0.5 is available. Possibly, Hacker exploits same or another known <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="ca9ecedd-6515-4c66-8b2f-dadd3d54ca55">vBulletin</span> version 4.2.1 vulnerability to access the website's administrative panel.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It seems that openSUSE team is even not aware about the data breach, but we have informed them and also trying to contact RexHacker for further information on this.<br />
<br />
<b>Update (7:00 PM Tuesday, January 7, 2014 GMT):</b> The Pakistani Hacker confirmed is that has uploaded a PHP shell on the forum server using his own Private <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="62a9c552-6ccd-419c-8965-89a19cfdd134"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="a8bba46e-c694-40e2-bd25-d6583f01da66">vBulletin's</span></span> zero-day exploit, that allows him to browse, read or write/overwrite any file on the Forum server without root privileges.<br />

<span class="main-article-info"></span>After openSUSE's tweet, RexHacker has shared some sample database screenshots on his Facebook 
account to prove the database hack. We have partially blur the 
screenshot before sharing, to keep sensitive data secure, as shown 
above.

Update (4:00 AM Wednesday, January 8, 2014 GMT): In a blog post, 
openSUSE team confirmed that their website and database have been 
hacked, but users' passwords are not compromised.

A cracker managed to exploit a vulnerability in the forum software 
which made it possible to upload files and gave access to the forum 
database.

The team explained, they are using single-sign-on system (Access Manager
 from NetIQ) that manage the real passwords.

Credentials for your openSUSE login are not saved in our application
 databases as we use a single-sign-on system (Access Manager from NetIQ)
 for all our services. This is a completely separate system and it has 
not been compromised by this crack. What the cracker reported as 
compromised passwords where indeed random, automatically set strings 
that are in no way connected to your real password.</div>

PTA Suspends PTCL’s WLL / EVO License, and then Restores it!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

 Pakistan Telecommunication Authority – in a historic decision today –
 suspended PTCL’s WLL licenses in five regions for using extra radio 
frequency spectrum than it was allocated.<br />

In a directive, produced below, PTA said that PTCL’s WLL license for 
Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Karachi and Multan is suspended for not 
complying with authority’s earlier directive in which it had asked the 
operator to free up the additional spectrum that it was illegally using.<br />

PTCL offers EVO / Nitro wireless broadband services and Vfone on top of its WLL license.<br />

If implemented, all EVO, Nitro and Vfone services will go offline in these five regions.<br />

Just in case if you don’t know, Pakistan is divided into 14 telecom 
regions, out of which these five regions comprise of over 70 percent of 
telecom population of the country.<br />

——————————<br />

<strong>Update:</strong><br />

PTA  — just after few hours of license suspension – has restored 
suspended license after PTCL paid the fine of Rs. 82.496 million, 
moments ago.<br />

A high level PTA official confirmed RexHacker that PTCL has paid 
the fine and suspension of its WLL license is subsequently reverted.<br />
PTA said that it has also asked FAB to keep a check on spectrum usage
 to make sure that PTCL has also freed up the extra radio frequency 
spectrum that it was illegally using.<br />

PTA official, further explaining the development, said that the fine 
of Rs. 82.496 million was imposed for the spectrum loss till 2011, and 
the fine money may get revised as matter was resolved today (in 2014).<br />

——————————-<br />

PTA’s Directive also noted to all LL, LDI and mobile phone operators 
to terminate telecommunication facilities extended to PTCL in these five
 regions.<br />

It maybe recalled that ISPAK had approached PTA in 2011 for alleged 
extra usage of spectrum by PTCL for its wireless broadband services. <br />

PTA, after investigations and field monitoring reports of FAB, concluded in its Determination dated 16.09.2011 that PTCL has been using extra wireless spectrum illegally for its EVO services and hence a penalty of Rs. 82.496 million was imposed on PTCL with directions to stop using extra spectrum. <br />

PTCL challenged that Determination in Islamabad High Court (IHC) 
maintaining that PTA’s decision is unjust. However, IHC – later on — 
dismissed PTCL’s appeal against PTA’s Determination in its order dated 
03.12.2013. <br />

Telcos Continue to Deduct Call Setup Charges Despite PTA Orders

While trashing the official directive from PTA, Mobile phone companies are still charging a <a href="http://rexhacker.blogspot.com/2013/12/new-year-gift-mobile-companies-to.html" target="_blank">call setup charges of 12 paisas</a>
 (including taxes) on each outgoing call even after Pakistan 
Telecommunication Authority directed them to immediately withdraw the 
charges.<br />

Mobile phone consumers confirmed RexHacker that a call setup 
charge of 12 paisas is deducted for each paid, bundled or free call.<br />

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, almost a week ago, had <a href="http://rexhacker.blogspot.com/2014/01/pta-directs-telcos-to-withdraw-call.html" target="_blank">directed Mobile phone companies to withdraw this call-setup charge</a> by saying that this charge is against the Consumers protection regulation.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
However, mobile phone operators have put a deaf ear to the directive 
and instead told PTA that they won’t be able to take-back the charges 
that have increased users’ spend by over 8 percent in total.<br />

PTA, in response to such a feedback, has called a industry meeting (with-in this week) to discuss the matter.<br />

PTA believes that, as a regulator, it had done its job by asking 
cellular companies to withdraw the call-setup charges to safeguard the 
customers. However, the PTA said, it also has to listen to mobile phone 
companies and their reservations to safeguard the industry.<br />

While we haven’t sensed that PTA is influenced by cellular operators,
 it is highly likely that call setup charges will continue to haunt the 
customers’ pockets.<br />

Just to add, Competition Commission of Pakistan is another authority 
that can protect telecom users from this ruthless charge, however, the 
issue can easily get buried like helpline charges and services charges 
that were never considered by CCP despite a clear incident of 
cartelization by cellular companies.</div>

A bit late at following this trend, Sony has finally launched the minuscule version of its <a href="http://rexhacker.blogspot.com/2013/09/sony-outs-its-xperia-z1-brings-2-new.html" target="_blank">Z1 flagship</a>, the Z1 Compact.<br />

As you would expect from a “genuine” smaller flagship model, the Z1 
Compact has a lot in common with its older sibling. Specs start with a 
4.3″ 720p HD Triluminous display with 341 ppi and Corning Gorilla Glass 
protection. It also boasts an IP58 rating from its maker, which means it
 is dust-resistant and can take a dive in water (up to 1m) and remain 
there for 30 minutes.
<br />
Hardware is packing a punch as well. You get a quad-core Qualcomm
 SnapDragon 800 processor clocked at 2.2Ghz, 2 GB RAM, Adreno 330 GPU 
and 16 GB worth expandable storage. Towards the back, the same 20.7 
megapixel camera with Flash can be found, which is also capable of doing
 1080p Full HD videos. 
<br />
A 2 mp HD camera can be found on the front. Connectivity options 
include NFC, USB-OTG, microUSB 2.0, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and 4G
 LTE. A 2300 mAh battery powers the device up. The phone runs on Android
 4.3 Jelly Bean.
<br />
Here are the full specs of the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact:
<br />
<ul>
<li>Customized Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
</li>
<li>4.3″ Triluminous display with HD resolution, 341ppi

The Ministry of Information Technology, on directions of Anusha 
Rehman, Minister of State for IT, has ordered to refer the internal 
audit reports showing gross financial, administrative and procedural 
irregularities of thirteen PSDP IT Projects, executed by Pakistan 
Computer Bureau (PCB) and Electronic Government Directorates (EGD), to 
NAB, we have confirmed.<br />

Most of the projects started during the period in between 2004-2006 
with a deadline for completion of projects of of 2-3 years. However, 
despite a lapse of more than 7 years, the projects desired deliverables 
were not achieved with in the defined timelines.<br />
Ministry of IT has revealed that It has become a yearly trend of 
PCB/EGD to seek extension of these projects on one pretext or other.<br />

The projects include<br />

<ul>
<li>Provision of E-Services at CDA, Islamabad,</li>
<li>M/o Information Technology – Health NET Telemedicine Project for Rural/Remote Areas in Punjab (Holy Family Hospital Rawalpindi)</li>
<li>HMIS and Networking facilities at Children Hospital, PIMS, Islamabad</li>
<li>E-Enablement of Establishment Division</li>
<li>Federal Government Data Centre and Intranet</li>
<li>E-Services at Chief/Deputy Commissioner’s Office</li>
<li>E-Services of Islamabad Police</li>
<li>E-Office at MoIT</li>
<li>E-Office Replication at Federal Ministries/Divisions</li>
<li>E-Services at FIA</li>
<li>E-Services at Ministry of Health</li>
<li>E-Services at Ministry of Interior</li>
<li>E-Services at Ministry of Population</li>
</ul>
The Minister way back in September, 2013 ordered to conduct a Special
 Audit of all the projects of MoIT attached departments/entities to 
ensure the transparency, efficiency in their business processes and 
in-time delivery of the project deliverables.<br />

The reports of special audit to be conducted by AGP are still awaited.</div>

Warid today announced its new ‘SMS based Blocking/Restoration’ 
Service which will enable its users to block or restore their services 
using simple SMS commands which are absolutely free of cost.<br />

There are three options including; Blocking the number on voluntary 
basis, restoring the number blocked on voluntary basis and blocking the 
number in-case of stolen through SMS command from any other number.<br />

Voluntary blocking of services by a customer stops all the services 
including daily/monthly rentals. A customer can keep its number 
voluntarily blocked for a maximum period of three months.  Using simple 
SMS commands a number can be easily blocked or restored. In-case of 
stolen, number can be blocked from any other Warid number using simple 
SMS command. The secret t-pin makes the whole process completely 
secure.  <br />
