[An Nahar] Malicious software used to steal millions from bank accounts has re-emerged a month after U.S. authorities broke up a major hacker network using the scheme, security researchers say.
The security firm Malcovery said it identified a new trojan based on the Gameover Zeus malware, which officials said infected up to one million computers in 12 countries, and was blamed in the theft of more than $100 million.
"This discovery indicates that the criminals responsible for Gameover's distribution do not intend to give up on this botnet even after suffering one of the most expansive botnet takeovers/takedowns in history," Malcovery said in a blog post Thursday.
By infecting large numbers of computers, the cyber criminals were able to control the devices to steal passwords and send out emails to further spread the infection.
The news came as the Department of Justice said it had made progress in rooting out the malware infections.
In a status report filed in court, officials said that "all or nearly all of the active computers infected with Gameover Zeus have been liberated from the criminals' control and are now communicating exclusively with the substitute server established pursuant to court order."
A blog post by the security firm Emsisoft said the new variant may be harder to combat, because it is using "an evasive technique that allows the botnet to hide its distributive phishing sites behind a constantly shuffling list of infected, proxy computers."
Gameover Zeus, which first appeared in September 2011, stole bank information and other confidential details from victims.
The FBI blamed the Gameover Zeus botnet for the theft of more than $100 million, obtained by using the stolen bank data and then "emptying the victims' bank accounts and diverting the money to themselves."
The June crackdown also targeted another computer virus, dubbed "Cryptolocker," which appeared in September 2013.
Russian Evgeniy Mikhailovich Bogachev, 30, an alleged administrator of the network, was charged in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with 14 counts including conspiracy, computer hacking, bank fraud and money laundering in the Gameover Zeus and Cryptoblocker schemes.

The only thing to deter these people will be a rapid trial followed by a rapid public execution.
[Washington Post] U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... says both of Afghanistan's presidential candidates are committed to abiding by the results of the "largest, most comprehensive audit" of the election runoff ballots possible.
Kerry stood with the two candidates who are disputing the results of Afghanistan's presidential election on Saturday night. He announced that Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai and former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah ... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun... have agreed to abide by a 100 percent, internationally supervised audit of all ballots in the presidential election in Kabul.
Both candidates have agreed to a national unity government.
The prolonged uncertainty about the outcome of the election has jeopardized a central plank of President Barack Obama Ready to Rule from Day One... 's strategy to leave behind a stable state after the withdrawal of most U.S. troops at year's end.

[Pak Daily Times] US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... Saturday held a second day of talks with Afghanistan's feuding presidential hopefuls, seeking a deal to "clean up the tally" after disputed elections.
Despite back-to-back meetings on Friday with rivals Abdullah Abdullah ... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun... and Ashraf Ghani and other officials that stretched deep into the night, US officials said an accord was not yet on the table. The deadlock over last month's run-off vote to succeed outgoing President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtun face on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... has plunged Afghanistan into crisis and dented US hopes of a smooth transfer of power as Washington seeks to withdraw all its troops by late 2016.
On a day of intense diplomacy on Saturday, Kerry met Abdullah for about an hour and 20 minutes before holding talks with Ghani and meeting Karzai. Under a proposal put forward by the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... , the country's election commission would audit ballot boxes from just over 8,000 polling stations where suspicions of ballot-stuffing have been raised. While Ghani's campaign has embraced the UN plan, Abdullah's team remains sceptical, arguing the proposal to review some 44 percent of all votes cast fails to address all their concerns.
On Friday Kerry stressed that results released on Monday showing Ghani in the lead with some 56 percent of the vote were only "preliminary"."They are neither authoritative nor final, and no one should be stating a victory at this point in time," Kerry said. "We want a unified, stable, democratic Afghanistan. It is important that whoever is president is recognised by the people as having become president through a legitimate process," he said.

[Tolo News] The Lower House of Parliament on Saturday passed a law based on which Members of Parliament will receive additional income from the government after their term is over.
Part of the law states that, even if an MP is not elected in the future, the government will be obligated to pay 25 percent of his/her last salary, and provide the MP with a privileged political passport and two armed guards.
"The Ministry of Interior must assign two bodyguards to members of Parliament who have completed a term, in addition, these members who do not make it to another term, must be given 25 percent of their last salary," said Hassan Sahrayee, an MP and member of the Immunity and Incentive Commission at the House of Representatives.
A number of MPs criticized the bill as being self-serving and neglectful of the needs of the country.
Of course. They sure learned fast, the clever buggers.
"When people are hungry, calling for incentives is a betrayal, they are asking for it for their personal interest, which is against the constitution," Kabul MP Ramazan Bashardost said.
"If Parliament wants to do something, they should work on the salaries of teachers, government employees, officers," another Kabul MP named Baktash Seyawash said. "This action will make people distrust Parliament."

Some of that exposure to American congresscritters has rubbed off. Next they need to exempt themselves from the laws they pass for the 'little people'.
[Tolo News] The International Crisis Group, a major conflict-prevention non-profit organization, released a statement on Saturday regarding the current stalemate gripping the Afghan election as well as the best possible way for it to be resolved.
The statement puts heavy pressure on the presidential candidates—Abdullah Abdullah ... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun... and Ashraf Ghani-Ahmadzai—to behave responsibly in their handling of the present process, which marks Afghanistan's first democratic transition in history.
"Millions of ballots are under review, and both sides accuse the other of widespread fraud. The final result will be less important, however, than the way the contest is decided," the statement reads. "This is a moment when Afghans must hold tight to their constitution and the rule of law, despite political turmoil."
The statement emphasizes the importance of the candidates accepting the results, and reaching the common understanding that the process must not divide the country.
The Crisis Group remarks did not hold back in recognizing how the credibility of this year's process had been called into question. "Electoral authorities' claims that eight million voters participated in the second round—a million more than were said to have voted in April—seem implausible, given reports of lower turnout in the second round. Leaked wiretaps of phone conversations involving electoral officials have further undermined confidence in the system," it reads.
According to the Crisis Group, an agreement must be made between the candidates, with the help of the international community, "on the extent and mechanics of the fraud investigations in the coming weeks."
"International observers and representatives of both camps will be required to monitor the process," the statement reads. "It is important both that it be completed by 2 August, so the constitution is adhered to and the dangers of a leadership vacuum are avoided, and that the audit be as extensive and thorough as feasible so fairness standards are met."

The two rival candidates in Afghanistan’s presidential election agreed to abide by the results of a UN-supervised recount of the entire poll to settle their dispute over the outcome, US Secretary of State John Kerry said after talks with both men.
And who would know more about counting ballots than a Massachusetts Democrat?
The recount was scheduled to begin within 24 hours, but was likely to take several weeks, meaning that a presidential inauguration due on August 2 will be postponed.
The deadlock over the June 14 election run-off between the leading contenders, Abdullah Abdullah and Ashraf Ghani, has raised concerns about a smooth transition of power in Afghanistan just as US-led troops are leaving.
“Both candidates have committed to participate in and abide by the results of the largest and most comprehensive audit. Every single ballot that was cast will be audited,” Kerry told a joint news conference with both candidates, held just before midnight after talks dragged for two days. “This is the strongest possible signal by both candidates of the desire to restore legitimacy to the process.”
The stakes are high for the United States. Washington hopes to settle the dispute quickly so it can sign a crucial security pact with Afghanistan allowing a small contingent of US troops to stay in the country beyond this year. Unlike incumbent Hamid Karzai, both Abdullah and Ghani have promised to sign the deal promptly, but the protracted standoff over the vote has delayed the process.
Ghani and Abdullah have been locked in an acrimonious dispute since the June 14 run-off, both effectively claiming victory and Abdullah refusing to accept the outcome. They have not met each other in person since the vote but Kerry managed to bring both men together at a UN compound in central Kabul to give an unprecedented joint news conference.
“This audit will be conducted in accordance with the highest international standards,” said Kerry, flanked by both candidates in a packed news conference. As he announced the total recount of the votes, many in the audience gasped. “The auditing will be internationally supervised in a manner proposed by the UN assistance mission, the candidates’ campaigns will each provide joint oversight of the audit.”
In a show of unity after months of bitter bickering, Ghani kissed Abdullah on the cheek after addressing reporters.
“Since we have agreed to a 100 per cent audit of ballots I request from President Karzai to postpone inauguration of new government,” Abdullah said.
Preliminary results from the run-off vote put Ghani, a former World Bank official, in the lead by almost one million votes. Abdullah rejected the result, claiming widespread fraud and calling the outcome a “coup” against the Afghan people.
In comments to reporters on Friday, Kerry said the transition to a self-reliant state hung in the balance unless the legitimacy of the election could be restored.

[An Nahar] The former president of war-torn Central African Republic Michel Djotodia, who led the rebel Seleka ...a 'mainly' Moslem rebel force in the Central African Republic that overthrew the govt, imposed a regime of rapine and looting on the country's non-Moslem population, and was then tossed by France. They still exist, getting funding and weapons from somewhere or other, licking their wounds, complaining about the oppression of Moslems, and occasionally raping and looting someone... militia that swept him to power last year, was renamed head of the movement on Saturday.
Djotodia fled power in January under strong international pressure for his failure to rein in rogue ex-rebels, who relentlessly murdered, raped and looted civilians.
"As well as the continuation of Djotodia, the former second- and third-in-command, Nourredine Adam and Mohammed Moussa Dhaffane, were reappointed during the general assembly," a source close to Seleka told Agence La Belle France Presse.
The ex-president of the landlocked former French colony is subject to United States and United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... sanctions as is Seleka's second-in-command Adam, and former president Francois Bozize.
Seleka, which is still engaged in violence in central and northern regions, has been plagued by infighting since it was forced from Bangui in January, in part due to the intervention of French and African troops in December 2013.

[An Nahar] Yemeni Iranian catspaws agreed Saturday to withdraw from Amran, seized in a push towards the capital, in a deal struck with authorities who are dispatching troops to the strategic city.
It all seems rather pointless now...
The Houthis seized the northern city Tuesday, in a new challenge to the government, which is also facing an al-Qaeda threat and a separatist movement in the south.
The capture of Amran, just 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Sanaa, threatened a federalization plan that was agreed in February following national talks as part of a political transition.
The rebels, also known as Ansarullah, have complained for years of marginalization in the Sunni majority country, and say the transition plan would divide Yemen into rich and poor regions.
In February they advanced from their mountain strongholds in the remote north towards the capital, battling loyalist troops and pro-government rustics.
Rebel front man Mohammed Abdessalam told Agence La Belle France Presse Saturday that the Huthis had struck a deal with the defense ministry to withdraw from Amran and that troops would move in later in the day.
"Our men will withdraw from Amran as soon as an army unit moves in," Abdessalam said, adding that a regiment was on its way from the northern city of Saada.
"Other military units... will follow suit," he said.
Amran fell after four days of fierce fighting that unconfirmed reports said have killed as many as as 400 people. The Red Islamic Thingy said the violence uprooted at least 10,000 families.

[Ynet] Demonstrators crowd streets outside Israeli Embassy, French Foreign Ministry, call for end to Israeli 'massacre' in the Gazoo Strip.
Unimpressive. Remember the million or so who came out against the invasion of Iraq in 2003? This isn't anything more than some housewives and office workers getting a bit of fresh air and sunshine on their lunchbreak. Call us when the crowd sizes reach six figures.
La Belle France has both Western Europe's largest Jewish community and its largest Mohammedan population, and the French government has been walking a careful line on the Gazoo developments.
President Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... issued a statement earlier this week in support of Israel that prompted criticism because it failed to mention Paleostinian victims.
He later spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyau and Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... , then issued new statements expressing support for each and concern for all victims. He condemned violence and urged a return to peace talks.
In London, a spokeswoman for Prime Minister David Cameron ... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ... said earlier he supported Israel in the face of attacks by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, against Israeli civilians.
An American free spirit travels through an area with a hot civil war going on. Devert disappeared in Michoacan.
Darwin always wins. Michoacan is not Manhattan, even if one's heart is full of love for all humanity.
Authorities have discovered a body alongside the motorcycle of a Westchester day trader who disappeared in Mexico in January while traveling across Latin America, according to published reports.
The ominous find of 32-year-old Harry Devert's green Kawasaki bike next to the remains wrapped in a black plastic bag was made on a dirt road leading to La Majahua beach in the township of Union Isidoro Montes de Oca, Mexican officials said Friday.
The former North Korean Workers Party secretary who reportedly played a key role in North Korea's nuclear development has died, the state-run [North] Korean Central News Agency reported on Wednesday.
Jon Pyong-ho, an Army general, died of a sudden stroke at 7 p.m. Monday aged 88, KCNA said. It added that Jon made "special contributions" to turning the North into "a nuclear state." Jon played a central role in the North's munitions industry since 1970s.
He will be given a state funeral. Kim Yang-gon, director of the Workers Party's United Front Department who was rumored to have been fired, is listed on the committee organizing the funeral.

I thought they used AQ Khan's work rather than locals?
[DAWN] Federal Minister for Interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan ...Currently the Interior Minister of Pakistain. He is the senior leader of the Pak Moslem League (N) and a close aide to Nawaz Uncle Fester Sharif. He is noted for his vocal anti-American railing in the National Assembly. However (comma) Khan told the U.S. ambassador that he was in fact pro-American but he and the PML-N would have to be critical of US actions in order to remain publicly credible. Khan cited his wife and children's US citizenship as proof, which means he's lying to one side or the other and probably both. He wears a wig, but you probably guessed that. since hair doesn't grow naturally in that shape or texture... on Saturday directed the district and police administration of Rawalpindi and Islamabad to keep the security of the twin cities on high alert, saying the situation had become sensitive since the military operation went under way in North Wazoo.
The minister gave these directives while chairing a meeting of officials from the twin cities' district and police administration here at the interior Ministry.
Today's meeting comes days after Nisar went back to work as his ties with the PML-N leadership normalised following a meeting between the interior minister and the prime minister himself.

Hamas mouthpiece sounds as if there might be a spot in the Democratic Party for her--she bobs, weaves, uses taquiya, and obfuscates with the best of them. All she needs to do is pick up one of those pamphlets that directs her to the Mexican-American border and slip on over.
[NEWS.YAHOO] In Gazoo City, one of the world's most densely populated cities. A ceaseless Israeli bombing campaign, with Arclight airstrikes every five minutes, has turned the frenetic hub of the Gazoo Strip into a virtual ghost town, emptying streets, closing shops and keeping hundreds of thousands of people close to home where they feel safest from the bombs.
In Israel, hundreds of rockets fired by GazooDeath Eaters also send civilians running into bomb shelters and staying close to home. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... there have been no fatalities there, while the corpse count in Gazoo topped 120 on Saturday from the five-day offensive.
In Gazoo, residents remain torn between fear for their safety and sadness over the loss of a normal Ramadan, usually a time of deep spirituality leavened by great joy and celebration. I dunno about you, but my tears have certainly been jerked.
"The situation is very bad and not usual at all," housewife Umm Al-Abed said. "People in the month of Ramadan used to visit each other and go to buy things that are only sold during Ramadan. But now because of the atmosphere of war, people are afraid to go out and there are no salaries for anyone."

One thing that has never been clear to me is whether you get extra points for murdering infidels, Crusaders, and Jews during Ramadan, or whether you are expected to behave for a month. Opinions seem divided.
As for "there have been no fatalities there, while the corpse count in Gazoo topped 120 ", it seems unfair to ding the Israelis for being better at not dying than their enemies are at killing them. Not really a surprising outcome, given that one side is a modern, industrialized nation and the other is a savage, tribal people, lacking an industrial base, who depend on their neighbors for both sustenance and munitions.
[JPOST] "Seven Israelis die in Zikim," "Ten injured in Haifa after rocket explodes," "All of Tel-Aviv is in shelters," and "Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, succeeds in causing malfunctions to the Iron Dome system," - these are just some of the headlines that Gazoo residents have been hearing in recent days on Hamas radio and television broadcasts.
But none of the news items mentioned above actually happened. Seven Israelis did not die in Zikim, instead it was five Hamas murderous Moslems that died. No one was injured in Haifa, and Tel Avivians are still going to work, enjoying the beach and sitting at cafes, not locked in shelters.

Praising a fem splodydope is about the only time the jihadis find favor in wimmins...
[IsraelTimes] A short video clip posted on the Fatah movement's official Facebook page Thursday glorified a female army unit training to launch rockets at Israel and presented jacket wallahs as role models for the Paleostinian population.
Prob'ly a good thing Israel already cleaned out Hamas in the West Bank -- soon it will be time to go after Fatah. (I find it fascinating that they aren't hiding behind the Palestinian Authority label any longer.)
Fatah is the PLO faction headed by Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... Fatah prides itself on its "young women," who "part from their children, leave their homes and go to the battlefield carrying burial shrouds to fight in the ranks of the Paleostinian resistance in the Gazoo Strip," a narrator can be heard saying, according to a translation provided by NGO Paleostinian Media Watch, as a group of Paleostinian women are seen training, assembling and setting up rockets, shooting and engaging in physical training. So when they say the corpse count includes X number of wimmin and kiddies, these are the wimmin?
"Another aspect of the Paleostinian woman's role in all areas is being created here," the narrator continues.
"She is not merely the man's partner in domestic life, but his lover companion wherever he is; on the battlefield, she is at his side on the frontline, and fulfills an active role in training generations of resistance [fighters], who will confront the 'invincible' army."
The narrator proceeds to explain that the female fighters have "willpower stronger than mountains," and that they "strive to become an important part of the path of Jihad and the struggle --the path walked by Dalal Mughrabi, Hanadi Jaradat and Reem Riyashi."
In 1978, Mughrabi led one of the most lethal terror attacks in Israel's history when she and several other Fatah faceless myrmidons hijacked a bus on Israel's Coastal Highway, killing 37 civilians, 12 of them children, and wounding over 70.
In 2003, Jaradat became one of the first female Paleostinians to carry out a suicide kaboom, blowing up a Haifa restaurant. Twenty-one people were killed in the bombing and 51 were maimed.
Riyashi blew herself up at the Erez crossing between Israel and the Gazoo Strip in 2004, killing three soldiers as well as one civilian.
"These are the acclaimed Fatah women," Fatah's Facebook administrator said of the women training for attacks.
On Wednesday, gangs linked to Fatah said they had begun launching rockets and mortar shells into Israel, in the first indication that Abbas's movement was taking part in violence emanating from Gazoo.
The Nidal Al-Amody force of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades grabbed credit for firing Grad and 107 millimeter rockets toward Ashkelon, Sderot, Netivot, Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha and the Sufa Crossing from Gazoo, starting at 5 p.m Wednesday. Communiques specifying the attacks were published on Fatah's official Facebook page.
Early Thursday morning, another armed force associated with Fatah, the Abdul Qader Husseini Battalions, grabbed credit for launching two Grad rockets ...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km.... at Ashkelon and four mortar shells at Kibbutz Nir Oz near Khan Yunis.
A photo depicting two members of the Husseini Battalions preparing to launch a rocket at Israel was posted on Fatah's Facebook page, its title reading "The Al-Aqsa Brigades and the Abdul Qader Husseini Brigades have proven today that they are the most loyal to the blood of the deaders. They were among the first to quickly respond to the aggressive [Israeli] operation."
[An Nahar] Iran's chief negotiator in nuclear talks in Vienna warned Saturday that Tehran is ready to walk away if "excessive" Western demands cause a failure, eight days before a deadline for a deal.
Abbas Araqchi said however that he hoped that the attendance from Sunday of foreign ministers including U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... would help overcome "deep differences" that remain.
"If we see that the excessive demands (of Western powers) persisting and that a deal is impossible, this is not a drama, we will continue with our nuclear program," Araqchi said.
"The presence of ministers will have a positive influence," he told Iran state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
from the Austrian capital. "There are questions that ministers need to take decisions on."
