Asia-Pacific businesses have been warned to prepare for another spike in virus activity associated the latest variant of the MyDoom worm which has seen computer security companies scrambling to upgrade their threat warnings over the last 12 hours.
HP has released a batch of USB keys for numerous Proliant server models which contain malware that could allow an attacker to take over an infected system.
In just eight months the Storm worm has infected more than 20 million computers and built a zombie army -- or botnet -- capable of launching DDoS attacks that could be used against any organisation or even damage critical infrastructure, according to security experts.
Microsoft in an e-mail on Tuesday warned users to update their antivirus protections against the Kama Sutra worm, the mass-mailing virus slated to begin corrupting files later this week.
The Kama Sutra worm, designed to begin deleting files on infected computers this morning, has caused virtually no damage, according to antivirus firms.
Would you be happier that Google collects data about your Internet history if you knew their log data was used to fight some seriously nasty worms?
The world of IT security is in chaos, with CSOs seemingly on the front lines of a full scale global cyberwar being fought out by government hackers, botnet-controlling criminal gangs and compromised Web sites. Can we ever hope to keep networks safe in such an environment?
Microsoft is going to let everyone -- even people with an illegal pirate copy of Windows XP -- download IE7 because the software giant really cares about the safety and security of all Internet users. (But don't mention Firefox ...)
If you recently signed up with Microsoft's OneCare Live antivirus service -- and you use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express -- there is a chance that your stored e-mails have been wiped out.
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.
Australian businesses are being warned to install patches and signature files to protect against a worm variant which has surfaced in the US and Europe.
A very clever mass-mailing worm is spreading rapidly across the Internet and has many different components, each timed to trigger different processes.
Klez tops the list of most virulent viruses, according to a new survey. The worm has hit more than 7 percent of PCs all over the world--beating out SirCam and Nimda for deadliness.
It's impossible to predict what lurks in cyberspace but there's sufficient evidence, for the corporate sector especially, to wake up and smell the patches. Unfortunately, Westpac failed to heed the warning signs.
The number of security events detected by companies in the first quarter of 2003 jumped nearly 84 percent over the preceding three months, according to a report.
While the media was preoccupied with Code Red last weekend, a second major worm was making the rounds. SirCam didn't target the White House, nor did it capitalise on Microsoft's vulnerabilities, nor did it specifically target Outlook. Stealth was just what the virus writer wanted, and under the crush of Code Red's press coverage, that's what SirCam got. Now SirCam is the number one virus in the world.
Today’s PC viruses, Trojan horses, worms, and blended threats can cause run-of-the-mill Windows or application problems, that could also be caused by your typical hardware or software malfunction. Here are some suggestions for determining if a PC has a virus.
Antivirus management is complex, time consuming, and absolutely essential. Handing it over to a service provider could prove to be the easiestâ€"and safestâ€"option.
Keeping your network safe from viruses sounds easy, but watch out for complacency. Often, it's your own worst enemy.
This worm looks for systems already infected with SubSeven, then exploits the backdoor Trojan horse with new code.
