Researchers from University of California, Berkeley and UC, San Diego (UCSD) have published a report detailing how they hacked a spamming network to collect data on the economics of the problem. One technologist wants the public to understand why releasing exploit code for a dangerous vulnerability is sometimes the right thing to do. 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. Quantum cryptography, the most secure method of transmitting data, has taken a step closer to mainstream viability with a technique that simplifies the distribution of keys.. Domains in Hong Kong, China and the Philippines have been named as the most potentially dangerous on the web.
Security researchers at the SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC) have discovered a utility that served as the foundation for a series of attacks that compromised thousands of websites and infected millions of users' PCs over the past several months. Security firm Sans Institute is asking developers to volunteer for a new research project due to launch in the coming months. A new tool makes it easier for malware spreaders to create bogus YouTube pages. Researchers have successfully cracked the security of the Oyster card used for fare payments on buses and tubes in London. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have warned that chip and Pin machines are not as secure as the banking industry claims. VoIPshield Laboratories has alerted companies that market voice over IP systems of new security vulnerabilities. Researchers have detected active exploits using rogue banner advertisements to target a recently patched vulnerability in Adobe Acrobat. A Swedish security company announced Wednesday that two of its researchers have discovered a 'generic' flaw in the TCP stack that could result in denial-of-service attacks. Security researchers have developed a way to turn a utility for Sun Microsystems' Solaris operating system into a rootkit-like, reverse engineering tool that can be deployed to quickly locate application vulnerabilities and create exploits. Researchers last week revealed an unpatched buffer overflow bug in Windows that could allow an attacker to take control of an affected machine.
A group of Israeli researchers claims to have discovered a serious vulnerability in Microsoft's Windows 2000 operating system.. Warning that botnets are a "dynamic, evolving threat," researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have proposed the classification of botnet structures to provide an effective response framework for attacks and general remediation. The fall in global spam levels after the shutting of web hosting company McColo looks to be short-lived after researchers reported that the Srizbi botnet has been reactivated.
A newly released Open Source security program claims to have the potential to put antivirus software companies out of business. German researchers have found a way to decrypt packets from a WPA-protected network.
