Online security services are on the rise, and vendor Trend Micro has joined the crowd with its newest offering SecureCloud.
Internet Service Providers are in the perfect position to kill vast armies of compromised computers -- or bots -- that are being used by cyber-criminals to launch the majority of spam and phishing attacks, according security specialists at the AusCERT 2006 conference.
The software tool used by Google's Gmail to stop spammers has been cracked, leading to a big increase in spam sent from Gmail accounts last month, according to security firm MessageLabs.
An e-mail worm is recruiting computers for a coordinated attack on antivirus vendor Symantec's Web site.
The recent surge in worms could be part of an underground battle to hijack computers for use in Internet crimes, some security experts say -- but others aren't convinced.
Just as Internet users learn that clicking on a link in an e-mail purporting to come from their bank is a bad idea, phishers seem to be developing a new tactic -- launch a DDoS attack on the Web site of the company whose customers they are targeting and then send e-mails "explaining" the outage and offering an "alternative" URL.

Spammers are increasingly turning to mobile text-messaging, Web-based instant messaging, blogs and social-networking communities such as MySpace.com, according to mail services company MessageLabs.
In final instalment of 'Securing Microsoft', Ina Fried looks at the next generation of security threats. With Microsoft now outspending everyone with their massive security budget, will it be enough to stop ever more sophisticated security threats?
