Antivirus specialist Trend Micro on Wednesday said it has acquired HijackThis, a tool used to remove spyware from Windows PCs.
Security vendor Trend Micro's UK and Japanese Web sites were hacked last week; attackers managed to inject malicious iFrames into their "virus encyclopaedia" pages.
A security firm has found a pair of security bugs in Microsoft's Windows Mobile which, if exploited, could crash phones and other devices running the software.
Internet security experts are gathering at a secretive conference later this week to strategise in their fight against cybercriminals.
Phishers have launched an attack on customers of the National Australia Bank (NAB). The phishing e-mail attempts to direct victims to a section of the official Sarajevo Airport Web site, which was most likely hacked specifically for the purpose.
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.
If providers don't pitch in against the threat, customers might defect -- and the health of the Net itself could suffer.
