PatchGuard, a Microsoft technology to protect key parts of Windows, will be hacked sooner rather than later, a security expert said Thursday in Canada.
A group of security professionals has created a third-party fix for a recently discovered Internet Explorer flaw that's increasingly being used in cyber attacks.
Microsoft on Tuesday provided patches for three security flaws, but it does not have a fix yet for a Word 2000 vulnerability being exploited in cyberattacks.
Microsoft and five security companies announced last week that they would create an organisation to promote the responsible publishing of information about software flaws. Though many of the details have yet to be hammered out, the move marks the beginning of what could be the widespread emergence of ethical rules for security research.
Telecommuting, which promised to be a boon for employees who want to work from home, and for employers who are looking at savings in premises costs, office overheads, labour and increased employee productivity, is being given the thumbs-down the world over.
For the second time in as many weeks a group of security professionals has released a third-party fix for a Windows flaw that is actively being used in cyberattacks.
