It's always funny to see Jack Thompson throwing dirt towards Grand Theft Auto IV as soon as news hit the stands and people start to get really excited. Actually, I am sure that Jack was one of the saddest persons in the world when the GTA delay was announced. And why wouldn't he be? This game is his ultimat... |

Well, what do you know? Worms have always been in the top 10 malware threats. Does that come as a surprise to you? Well, if it does, just let me tell you that worms replicate themselves really fast, so it's not that we aren't facing other viruses too, but none infects as many files as worms do! In any case,... |

Nobody knows for sure how many threats are out there, in "the wild", how many viruses, worms and Trojans infect computers all around the world, but what we do know is that there sure are many! I've decided to write about this after I've seen a few pieces of news on Anchiva's website. Back in July this ... |

Who protects us, people, from fraudulent online activity? Well, generally it's financial services organizations. But who helps them? That's easy - people that make a business out of online threat protection. So, to get to the facts, BD-BrandProtect today announced the availability of its Internet Presence T... |

I don't think I need to tell you that sharing copyrighted files is illegal. Everybody knows that! Also, everybody knows most file sharing programs are used to distribute cracked software, and to spread illegal copies of movies etc. Now, piracy or no piracy, there are some things you need to know, in order to sta... |

This is really hot news! As it seems, many users got free pictures of Angelina Jolie naked, without even asking for them. Some people would really appreciate if they got naked pictures of good looking women in their inboxes, but this is not the case. It's all about a wave of spam that used nude Angelina pictures... |

Having the latest security programs doesn't seem to help much. One of the biggest threats to your security is your own hand, so to say…well, I'm actually talking about your e-mail. Maybe you think that I'm paranoid, but I bet you won't say the same after reading this article! Based on the fact tha... |

You can't always tell which is the best anti-virus for your machine, as all the vendors will claim they deliver top-notch solutions, that they are leaders on the market and all that. Also, you often get facts stating that in some test a certain anti-virus ranked first, but they rarely state what competition they... |

Certainly, I'm in no position to tell parents how to raise their children, but I can surely say a lot about what dangers lurk around on the Web. Cyber-security is not an issue for kids to handle, but parents should seriously think about it, when letting the little ones surf the Net. Now besides the fact that chi... |

Security giant Symantec issued a warning last Friday saying that the threat condition on the Internet has escalated to level 4, which is the most severe. I guess a lot of people got scared. It's not everyday security experts say the Internet is crashing down on us. In any case, it was all bogus - they were just ... |

I was reading the press on the web when I stumbled upon an article on the future of anti-viruses and whether they do have a future or not. For a moment I asked myself the same question - do they have a future? Sure they do! As long as cyber-threats exist, so will AVs. It's just about evolution. And if you don�... |

In a recent report, the IBM corporation informs us that the number of stealthy, targeted online attacks continues to grow in 2007. This means that - apart from the fact that people aren't secure enough and that security software developers are overwhelmed - hackers are striving harder and harder to get financial... |

I chose to call this the 'hack week', not because we had any great hacks or anything spectacular, but because we learned a lot about hacking. And by this, I mean lots and lots of things, fancy hack methods, as well as some "hulkish" ones. We had news about hackers stealing passwords, about exploits and cert... |

These guys are doing something huge, the StopBadware team I mean. They are researchers that have dedicated themselves to sniffing out and filtering malware on the Internet. And the thing is that they’re not some of those people that go "Oh, we’re putting an end to web based threats and bla bla bla" â€" they’re ... |

There are two ways in which you can spot the problems you might have with your network. You can either start probing things and test vulnerabilities from a black-hatter's perspective and do a perimeter search to see what might go wrong and, all sort of stuff like that; oooor, you can deploy a program that would ... |

The Web is full of threats, and sure, some of them won't get to you, but it's better not to rely on that and stay protected in any case. And what better way to defend yourself against cyber-threats than to know what you're up against. Knowing your "enemy" is an vital part of any defensive strategy. CA ... |

In many people's opinion (mine amongst them) ISP shouldn't just stand for Internet Service Provider but for Internet Service Police as well. Are we asking for too much? I don't think so, since they are the ones that can really do something against hackers. Not once have researchers and white hat hacker... |

You know it - the Web has changed a lot. Many things have occurred since the ARPAnet first appeared and now we have Web 2.0. And as always, more features means more vulnerabilities which equals more/worse threats. The landscape has changed a lot and so has hacker mentality. Also, viruses have become worse and now, th... |

The Pentagon was attacked earlier this year, in June, by hackers that managed to take down a part of the Americans' computers. Rumor has it the attacks were "made in China" but no one has officially confirmed this.I think that the rumors are true, since I read a few days ago in the press that president Bush will... |
