After triggering the vulnerability, the attackers install a Trojan dubbed McRAT.
On that note, the malware intelligence lab FireEye warned that there is yet another Java zero-day that is successfully being exploited "against browsers that have Java v1.6 Update 41 and Java v1.7 Update 15 installed." Threat intelligence firm Cyber Engineering Services Inc ( CyberESI) was credited for confirming this new critical hole in Java. Yet another new Java zero-day being exploited in the wild
It also did not mention whether the "sophisticated" attack is believed to be linked to Eastern European gang of hackers whom Bloomberg reported are behind some of the Mac attacks to steal company secrets.Įvernote spokeswoman Ronda Scott told Reuters that the Redwood City, California-based company believes "the hackers did not exploit a bug in Java when they broke into the company's system." Unlike some of the hacked newspapers and Mandiant's report, Evernote did not mention Chinese hackers. mkt5371 is a domain owned by Silverpop, an email communications firm who Evernote has clearly employed to send emails to its 50 million or so affected users."Īn Evernote company representative told CNET that this breach "follows a similar pattern of the many high profile attacks on other Internet-based companies that have taken place over the last several weeks." Evernote joined Facebook, Apple, Twitter and Microsoft in a continuing trend of publicly admitting that its company suffered an intrusion. And what might make some recipients pause for thought is that the links don't go directly to, but instead link to a site called mkt5371." Cluley explained, "This was just carelessness on Evernote's part. (In technical terms, they are hashed and salted.)Įvernote reminded users to "never click on 'reset password' requests in emails-instead go directly to the service." However, as Naked Security's Graham Cluley pointed out, "Uh-oh, in the same email that Evernote tells users not to click on 'reset password' requests sent via email, they have clickable links. Even though this information was accessed, the passwords stored by Evernote are protected by one-way encryption. The investigation has shown, however, that the individual(s) responsible were able to gain access to Evernote user information, which includes usernames, email addresses associated with Evernote accounts and encrypted passwords. We also have no evidence that any payment information for Evernote Premium or Evernote Business customers was accessed. In our security investigation, we have found no evidence that any of the content you store in Evernote was accessed, changed or lost.
Yet the company maintains this forced service-wide password change is a "precaution to protect your data."Īccording to Evernote's security notice, "Evernote's Operations & Security team has discovered and blocked suspicious activity on the Evernote network that appears to have been a coordinated attempt to access secure areas of the Evernote Service."
Lots of words to finally arrive at a question: Is there an email service that will receive to blah, then forward from blah, to That way sharing a note from that email provider would generate a task in Asana.The cloud-based note-syncing and productivity software service Evernote announced that attackers gained access to accounts' usernames, email addresses and passwords, so 50 million Evernote customers are required to change their passwords. The email appears to come from A (Evernote) to C (Asana), not from A to B (email client), then B to C. The reason Asana and Evernote don't play nice is shared Evernote notes come from Standard email forwarding doesn't work because the originating email is still not blah-blah. It does, however provide the best quality. I could also share via email and then forward to but the back and forth is wasted time. I could have done the same thing and added attachments from Dropbox myself. I can't get either to transfer attachments, and Cloudwork garbles text with comic strip vulgarity-many characters, "&" mostly, that I would rather not edit out. I would like to find a good Evernote to Asana integration, but I have found the two most popular-Cloudwork and Zapier-wanting. I have team buy-in to Asana so I don't want to change. I am (me) an Evernote user and me and my team use Asana for task management.
