There have been a few stories about Windows 7, even one about Windows 7 UAC before and now it’s officially on sale I’d expect there to be many more.
As always malware and mass infections is a numbers game so the bad guys will always target the most popular and prolific operating systems to increase their [...]

Facebook has had a fair share of problems, being a large community of course it’s going to be a ripe target for spammers, scammers and malware distributors.
The latest to hit is a spam e-mail claiming to be from the Facebook team that actually spreads a nasty piece of malware called Bredolab. It’s also been observed [...]

AVG used to be THE anti-virus software a few years ago, especially with it being the first major vendor offering a free solution for home users.
If you asked any techie back in 2002 which AV should you use, the answer would invariably be AVG free (or perhaps Panda).
After that AVG just got bloated, slow and [...]

This is one nasty piece of malware, seems like it’s working on a low level as per rootkits, there aren’t many technical details but it may well be operating on a Ring 0 level.
The level of detection by AV software is quite scary, especially since the malware is specifically targeting bank login details and it [...]

Ah Twitter in the news again, the bad guys sure do keep up with new trends. After being taken offline for a while by a Joejob DDoS attack Twitter is in the news again – this time it’s being used as the command channel for a Botnet.
The normal method for controlling Botnets is via an [...]

Ah another first, and once again China is at the forefront! We recently reported about a Chinese company sharing their huge malware database and now a group of Chinese companies has managed to develop the first SMS worm!
It’s a pretty cool concept, abusing the Symbian Express Signing procedure. It reminds me of the heydays of [...]

We need more companies like this that acknowledge hoarding data isn’t doing anything for the greater good, to really stamp out the core problems you have to share the data you’ve correlated across the World so everyone can put together what they have and do something about it.
It seems like with China pumping out the [...]

This story actually gave me a lot of LULZ, how stupid can you be seriously? Man this guy made so many mistakes for someone so paranoid (he had a web cam setup outside his appartment door so he could see who was coming)..
But then he exposed his IP address on IRC, posted his face on [...]

I had a spam tweet appear in my stream a while back and like Guy Kawasaki I also had absolutely no idea where it came from.
Perhaps some kinda XSS flaw in Twitter when I visited a site that spawned the message (in a hidden iframe perhaps).
It wouldn’t be the first time Twitter was having security [...]

This looks like a fairly complex infection mechanism combining exploiting websites, injecting JavaScript code then attempted exploitation of host machines and failing that prompting a download for some fake malware.
The way they have it all setup is pretty clever too hiding behind common technologies so their infections don’t look out of place.
An obfuscated JavaScript meant [...]
