While only a few number of Tom-Tom GPS (specifically, the GO 910’s) units were reported, the Amsterdam-based company stated that some of these models try to install malware onto PC’s. What a shame; those devices looked so cool.
Some TomTom satellite navigational devices used to keep drivers on the right road shipped with malicious code […]

It was just reported that email phishing scams have overtaken both emails with Trojans and emails with viruses. This really makes sense since phishing emails are much more difficult to detect with security software versus those which have malware attached to them.
Phishing attacks have outnumbered e-mails infected with viruses and Trojan horse programs for […]

Entrust has recently developed the $5 security token and Expedia will be the first company to employ it. One thing I would be interested in is whether this was a product in the making for quite some time or if they are just following the path of Paypal. Either way, it’ll provide more […]

… or so that’s what this article says. Honestly, I don’t believe it. Every single operating system in the Microsoft family has been known for having many vulnerabilities, and they each were developed with breakthrough technology for the time. Granted, while I believe it was a wise decision to work off of […]

If you have never heard about it, the whole trend of eavesdropping on wireless connections (”sniffing”) is picking up… especially at airports. With all of the layovers and delayed flights, wireless Internet can be a godsend. Then again, it could be your worst nightmare, especially if you connect to an “artificial” access point, […]

Here is something unique: the developers at IBM have created an interesting solution to help prevent identity theft. It acts as a middle man when it comes to providing sensitive information for online transactions. Get this: it uses pseudonyms to satisfy requirements for sensitive information… all without having to put in the sensitive […]

While everyone knows that virtually every country in the world can pose a threat to compromising the information infrastructures of the United Stated, it can now be calculated. Thanks to a team of students and professors at the University of New Hampshire, these threats can now be calculated by the level of threat they […]

While Microsoft (as well as many others) state that Vista is the most secure OS in the Windows family, that doesn’t mean it is immune to vulnerabilities. With the fact that vulnerabilities were being sold for upwards to $50,000 apiece a few months ago, in addition to security companies offering rewards for discovered vulnerabilities, […]

Yup, its true. Even though this has nothing to do with Windows, I thought it was interesting enough to where it was worth posting. While it has been recently patched, users of Linux-PAM could be able to exploit a vulnerability that would actually outsmart the authentication process. It would be interesting to […]

Now here is something interesting. The people at DriveSentry stated that about half of all pirated versions of Microsoft Vista are in fact Trojan horses. Talk about learning a harsh lesson. While DriveSentry has proved themselves as a reputable security company, it’s amazing to think that almost half of the people that […]
