OSX.Trojan.PokerStealer Trojan Horse
OSX.Trojan.PokerStealer Trojan Horse
Attempts to Take Control of Macs
Exploit: OSX.Trojan.PokerStealer
Discovered: June 20, 2008
Risk: Low
Description: A Trojan horse has been found in the wild masquerading as
program for Mac OS X called "PokerGame". The Trojan in question is a shell
script encapsulated in an application, and is distributed in a 65 KB Zip
archive; unzipped, it is 180 KB.
The Trojan horse, when run, activates ssh on the Mac on which it is
running, then sends the user name and password hash, along with the IP
address of the Mac, to a server. It asks for an administrator's password
after displaying a dialog saying, "A corrupt preference file has been
detected and must be repaired." Entering the administrator's password
enables the program to accomplish its tasks. After gaining ssh access to a
Mac, malicious users can attempt to take control of them, delete files,
damage the operating system, or much more.

SANYO Launches New 4LCD Technology in Projector
CHATSWORTH, CA and INFOCOMM, LAS VEGAS, NV. -- June 17, 2008 -- SANYO, one
of the world's largest manufacturers of LCD and DLP projectors introduces
their latest optical engine, called 4LCD, which adds a Color Control Device
to conventional 3LCD (red/green/blue) systems. The first projector to
launch this innovative new 4LCD engine is the PLC-XP200L. The additional
Color Control Device in the 4LCD optical engine allows the PLC-XP200L to
automatically control the amount of yellow light in the image, producing
higher luminosity with improved color accuracy and clarity.
The demand for even brighter projectors continues to come from the field as
systems integrators are asked to install video displays in extremely large
venues such as convention halls, conference rooms, auditoriums and houses
of worship. However, as brightness levels increase on 3LCD projectors,
there is a reverse effect in color reproduction. Colors become noticeably
washed out, lacking vibrancy and realism.
