No, they proved they can invent made up scary data. I think this is actually stolen straight from Schneier's site. It's pure movie plot silliness. https://www.schneier.com/blog/...

This is not science or IT security, it is pure PR crackpot FUD conjecture. The "Chameleon" virus doesn't exist. Please read my paper on my fake bluetooth virus. Bluetooth is MUCH more pervasive than Wifi. More cell phones than Wifi, more cars, and about the same number of computers. In my model, they all get infected and your wireless speakers, phones and computers play "It's a Small World" 24/7 until we all go crazy. It ends a lot like 28 Days later.
Submission + - NTLM 100 Percent Broken Using Hashes Derived from Captures (blogspot.com)
uCallHimDrJ0NES writes: Security researcher Mark Gamache has used Moxie Marlinspike's Cloudcracker to derive hashes from captured NTLM handshakes, resulting in successful pass-the-hash attacks. It's been going on for a long time, probably, but this is the first time a "white hat" has researched and exposed the how-to details for us all to enjoy. Microsoft has posted a little guidance for those who need to turn off NTLM: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793313. Have fun explaining your new security project to your management, server admins!
