Office-bound workers at most companies today have a significant amount of IT security available to them when best practices are followed. Their computers are physically secure; their hard drives are hopefully encrypted; secure Web gateways, intrusion prevention systems and firewalls block dangers f...
There have been a number of attempts to size the cloud computing market. The most eye-popping figure, arguably, is from Merrill Lynch. It has famously said that by 2011, the cloud computing market will reach $160 billion. Whether or not this is a realistic projection -- and there are many who conten...
It appears that Sony could have another rootkit scandal on its hands if a recent report from Finnish security firm F-Secure proves true. The problem concerns a hidden directory contained in software for Sony's MicroVault USM-F thumb drive. The files, according to F-Secure, could be accessed by hacke...
Pimply faced pranksters and lone profiteers who poison computer systems have been replaced by organized criminals of a different breed. "These guys are professional organizations. They are fully funded and they're writing specifically for profit," David Frazer, director of technology services at F-S...
"Storm Worm" is the name that seems to have stuck for a massive malware attack that spread Thursday and Friday by teasing e-mail recipients to open infected messages supposedly about European wind storms. The attackers use of the subject line "230 dead as storm batters Europe" was an effective way t...
Beware of e-mails with the subject line "Happy New Year!" VeriSign is warning that the message may appear to come from a well-wisher but actually contains a worm that could infect computers and use them for malicious purposes. The Happy New Year worm is being heavily spammed at a rate of five e-mail...
The number of malicious programs is on the rise, according to McAfee's Avert Labs, with exponential increases in rootkits and Windows-based stealth components.

Symantec this week released an update to Norton SystemWorks to fix a security issue that could leave a back door open for hackers: a rootkit. A rootkit is a hacker security tool that captures passwords and message traffic to and from a computer. The tool may allow a hacker access to a so-called "bac...
Microsoft is downplaying newly reported bugs in its Windows' graphic rendering engine. The software giant late Monday said security vendor reports about additional Windows Metafile flaws are actually nothing more than "performance issues." Specifically, Symantec warned users on Monday that three new...
It's not exactly a happy new year for millions of PC users exposed to a Microsoft Windows flaw that leaves the door wide open for hackers, Trojans, worms, spyware and other malicious attacks. F-Secure first reported the vulnerability on Dec. 27. Microsoft does not plan to issue a patch until Jan. 10...
Bob Graham doesn't wait for a threat to become a pandemic. Several years ago, when one of his employees decided to start using a Treo handheld for phone and e-mail, he purchased and installed Symantec anti-virus software on the device -- even though there had never been a documented case of a virus ...
The New Year may bring yet another threat from the Sober family of worms, according to security researchers who say a recently discovered variant of the worm contains code that could unleash a new round of attacks on Jan. 5, 2006. Security firm iDefense, which is owned by VeriSign, said a variant of...
Antivirus experts have found a virus that can move from mobile phones to computers, but analysts say the bug is neither very dangerous nor very sophisticated. The Trojan, called CARDTRP.A or Sybos/Cardtrap.A by different antivirus vendors, is rated as a low risk by Trend Micro. F-Secure calls it "un...
Although law enforcement officials have arrested two men they believe wrote the Mytob and Zotob worms, one security expert said there may not be much enterprises can do to stop such infections from striking again. The worms, which infected servers and PCs running Windows 2000, struck at ABC, America...
