Instead of the usual description of Kevin Mitnick, his consulting services and books, the famed hacker's Web site on Sunday displayed a vulgar message.
World-renowned security consultant Kevin Mitnick is expected to visit Australia for the first time in April 2005 after immigration authorities approved a visa allowing him to enter the country.
Kevin Mitnick, one of the world's best-known hackers, is back--with a book and a business. Now he's advising corporations on how to secure their networks.
Researches have demonstrated a vulnerability in VoIP software which they claim allows a the hacker to take control of a victim's computer.
Computer worms are likely to become a more damaging combination of virus writing and hacker exploits, according to security experts.
The new and improved Mac hack competition, which was set up by an Apple systems engineer at the University of Wisconsin in response to a ZDNet Australia story shut down early because the university's CIO was concerned about "security and network access".
Macs are banned from many government departments because there aren't any 'approved' applications to encrypt them. So why doesn't Apple CEO Steve Jobs do something about it?
Who would have imagined that Ericsson's new local managing director would have an immediate past enmeshed in international espionage?
The new film Firewall is the latest in a long line of Hollywood hacker movies. But how do they rate in terms of accuracy and entertainment value?
In three years phishing has transformed from an unknown threat into a multi-million dollar industry; in the next stage of its evolution, phishers will avoid using spam and instead hijack small parts of 'trusted' Web sites in order to bypass anti-phishing tools.
To many, the name Kevin Mitnick is synonymous with "notorious hacker." We talk to him about software security, the evolution of hacking and social engineering, and law enforcement's action against hacking.
ZDNet Australia presents comprehensive information on social engineers, the way they work and tips to guard against them -- essential reading for any security and/or IT professional.
Most IT managers neglect to tell users how to avoid falling prey to the dangerous hacker technique of social engineering. Here's what you need to know.

Increasingly, attackers are using better tools to find vulnerabilities quickly, exploit flaws and hide their attacks.
Bargain hunters, ZoneAlarm with Antivirus is the security deal for you.
Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioral monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.
McAfee Total Protection 2007 does what it says on the label -- it protects your PC from all sorts of nasty attacks, albeit at a fairly high cost to your system performance, especially on older PCs.
Kaspersky Internet Security 6 provides thorough protection against online threats, but ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6 remains a better buy.
