Hackers intent on anonymously sending data across the Internet have a new tool.
A hacker group released code designed to exploit a widespread Windows flaw, paving the way for a major worm attack, security researchers warned.
Why is it that "Gray hat" hackers, neither corporate pros nor havoc wreakers, are increasingly falling on the wrong side of the law?
The world's favourite search engine is one of the handiest tools for hackers, said a security expert on Thursday.
Notorious computer hacker Kevin Mitnick went online Tuesday for the first time in nearly a decade.
A worm that takes advantage of what some security experts describe as the most widespread Windows flaw ever has started spreading, while new analysis has uncovered a time bomb in the worm's code poised to unleash a furious denial of service attack at Microsoft itself.
Microsoft has been waiting for security researchers to say that its Windows operating system has a lower total cost of ownership. One finally has, but that's not good news.
Database software maker Oracle promised on Tuesday in the US to quickly make patches available for the more than 30 flaws found by a British security researcher.
A vulnerability in all versions of Windows could allow attackers to use a malicious Web site or HTML e-mail message to trap victims and take control of their PCs, warned Microsoft.
Less than two months after launching its Windows Server 2003 operating system, Microsoft has released a security patch to fix a vulnerability that could let malicious sites run damaging code on the server.
Conceding that its strategy of patching Windows holes as they emerge has not worked, Microsoft plans next week to outline a new security effort focused on what the company calls "securing the perimeter," a company executive said.
