Four ways an attacker can hack the airwaves and get access to your network and beyond:
Security company Symantec raised its severity rating of the latest incarnation of the NetSky worm.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP servers can be attacked through the software ordinarily used to create secure connections to remote workers.
Security around DNS servers is still a serious issue for network administrators, even though new servers such as BIND 9 are more secure, according to a new survey released this week.
Petko Petkov of ethical hacking group GNUCitizen, has developed a proof-of-concept program to steal contacts and incoming e-mails from Google Gmail users.
Windows Defender for Vista has failed miserably when it comes to protecting users of Microsoft's latest operating system from a very basic attack.
OS X security scares, a Linux worm and Microsoft bragging about security: so why is the world a safer place?
Google stitched up some gaping holes in its desktop search software recently but the nature of the tool's design means that the contents of users' hard drives will remain under constant threat of exposure.
It was inevitable that micro-blogging service Twitter would become infested with malware, according to a number of high-profile Australian users of the service.
When creating a secure, locked down IT system for something that is directly responsible for handling cash transactions would you choose the most popular, most targeted operating system?
Security company Symantec raised its severity rating of the latest incarnation of the NetSky worm.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP servers can be attacked through the software ordinarily used to create secure connections to remote workers.

Google's Security team has discovered vulnerabilities in the Sun Java Runtime Environment that threatens the security of all platforms, browsers and even mobile devices.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
Security appliances can introduce vulnerabilities into an organisation's network because they often include older operating systems and vendors rarely inform customers how to properly update them, according to Microsoft's Roger Grimes, who was speaking at the AusCERT 2008 conference.
A socially engineered e-mail, which contains a Trojan file that exploits a zero-day vulnerability and then hides behind a rootkit, might be the perfect attack and impossible to defend against.
Even firms that generate electricity can suffer in the current power and cooling crisis. Cesare Tizi, ZDNet Australia CIO of the Year 2007, and former CIO of AGL, admits that the datacentres of Australia's largest energy firm were as vulnerable as those belonging to any other company. He also explains why "going green" could help both your bottom line and the environment.
Davis Thomason, senior director of technical services at Sourcefire, describes Enterprise Threat Management (ETM), which combines IPS, vulnerability assessments, network behaviour analysis and network admission control, to create a pro-active defence system.
Patchlink's international senior vice president Andrew Clarke told ZDNet Australia that the company is taking a slightly new direction after acquiring a vulnerability management company earlier this year. Clarke also admitted that the company is likely to change its name within a few months.
Microsoft alerted PC users to three critical security flaws in Internet Explorer and Windows on Wednesday, as the MSBlast worm and its variants used a previous vulnerability in Windows to spread across the Net for a second week.
Microsoft Internet Explorer contains two newly discovered flaws. Here are the details on patching the holes and a look at how Microsoft seems to be dancing around the problem.
Commentary: Anti-virus software won't protect you from the latest type of worm affecting Windows systems -- you need a personal firewall.
A strange two-wheeled creature was skimming through the halls of the Alexis Park Hotel on Sunday--a robot that sniffs out network vulnerabilities.
The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is the larger sibling of the i-mate 8502, and shares the honour of being Australia's first HSUPA phone. While we believe this phone is in the same league as a BlackBerry or the iPhone, be wary of Telstra's promised internet speeds.
