A new virus is relying on some old tricks to infect Windows Mobile users. The so-called 'companion virus' attack uses a method of assuming the identity of an existing file and moving the old file to a different location. Time running out for Adobe to patch 'critical' vulnerability. A legitimate attachment containing information about security for the upcoming Beijing Summer Games is also masking a trojan, researchers at MessageLabs said. Public and private proof-of-concept code has emerged for the gaping Windows hole plugged by Microsoft on Thursday in an emergency update. The Public Key Infrastructure solves many security problems, but also introduces risks that require careful management. Protecting users from internet-borne threats falls on trusted websites, says Overstock's Sam Peterson. Dan Kaplan reports. One technologist wants the public to understand why releasing exploit code for a dangerous vulnerability is sometimes the right thing to do. You have probably heard by now that the root cause of most security vulnerabilities is in the software we run, and that these vulnerabilities are introduced into the software during the development process. That much has been well understood for several years. What hasn't been well understood is the solution to the problem. The Sophos Web Appliance WS1000 effectively and seamlessly blocks spyware, phishing, virus, malware and other web-born threats at the gateway. It also allows granular administrative control over permitted actions. The use of Sophos Behavioural Genotype Technology is, according to the vendor, the key to stopping malicious threats, malware and even encrypted malware prior to allowing malicious code to run within your enterprise. A number of recent studies have highlighted the security concerns over e-voting machines. Microsoft on Tuesday pushed out 11 patches for 20 vulnerabilities. Attackers have posted public exploit code for a zero-day Windows vulnerability that could result in privilege escalation. The youthful president and CEO of Veracode tells Paul Fisher why SaaS is the only way forward for vulnerability scanning. Hot: It's one of the primary methods that malicious hackers use to find new application and operating system vulnerabilities. Microsoft on Tuesday delivered fixes for four vulnerabilities, three labelled critical, as part of its monthly security update. Security researchers should stop publishing vulnerabilities in the traditional way because cyber-criminals are using the code to generate zero-day exploits at record speeds, says a recent report. The offering from CA is a software-based product that runs on top of Windows Server 2003. This device performs URL filtering, as well as anti-virus and anti-malicious code filter. Researchers have discovered a new flaw in Mozilla's Firefox browser that can be exploited by attackers to take over a user's computer, as long as the victim also has Internet Explorer (IE) installed. Microsoft on Thursday announced plans to push out 11 fixes in next week's security update. While it is unlikely we will ever abolish cybercrime, I do believe that we can make the internet a safer place.
