Nearly one-third of the world's computers could be infected with malware, suggests a report released last week by the Anti-Phishing Working Group. Malicious apps invaded 32.77 percent of the world's computers, a more than 4 percent jump from the previous quarter's 28.39 percent, the report estimates...
Trawling porn sites used to be the best way to pick up an electronically transmitted disease on your smartphone. That's changed. Every one in five times a mobile user is redirected to a malware site online, it's done through a malicious ad, according to a new report. That's three times what it was t...
Facebook on Monday released transparency reports of government requests for its users' data. Privacy groups hailed the move as a positive step forward -- rare praise for the company, which has had a checkered relationship with those groups over the years.

A bill to protect email privacy cleared a key U.S. Senate committee last week, buoying the spirits of privacy advocates.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday overturned a ruling by a lower court judge who had awarded $40,800 in damages and $2.5 million in attorney fees to the now-defunct Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation.

The hacker group LulzSec has been carrying out a security-busting blitzkrieg across the Web over the last few weeks, and its targets are getting bigger and bigger. You can tell where it's been by the path of sites left shivering in a fetal position -- sites belonging to organizations like PBS, Sony,...
One almost has to pity Facebook. Less than a month after it rolled out user enhancements that were lauded even by privacy advocates, it is back in the doghouse, facing a class action lawsuit and testy inquiries from two members of Congress. The problem once again is privacy. Many of the most popular...
