Phishing Scams Target PNB - Philippine National Bank

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

I recently came across emails that at first glance came from a local bank — PNB Philippine National Bank.

I know for a fact that it is a phishing scam since I don’t have a bank account with PNB ;-)

Intel Centrino Vulnerability Patch Now Available

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

You might want to take a look at this one just in case you are one of the many people running around with an Intel Centrino powered notebook.

Intel has released driver security updates for Centrino device drivers for Windows and for the PROSet management software.

There are three issues identified:
Intel® Centrino Wireless Driver Malformed Frame Remote Code Execution

Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software Local Information Disclosure
http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-023066.htm
Intel® Centrino Wireless Driver Malformed Frame Privilege Escalation
http://support.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/pro2100/sb/CS-023067.htm

The first and the third seem to be most severe. At this point we don’t know of any public exploits for these vulnerabilities. The second one (PROSet info disclosure) has been around for a while and is known but local only.
