Security researchers have developed a new type of malicious rootkit software that hides itself in an obscure part of a computer's microprocessor, hidden from current antivirus products. Called an SSM (System Management Mode) rootkit, the software runs in a protected part of a computer's memory that can be locked and rendered invisible to the operating system but which can give attackers a picture of what's happening in a computer's memory. The SMM rootkit comes with keylogging and communications software and could be used to steal sensitive information from a victim's computer. It was built by Shawn Embleton and Sherri Sparks, who run an Oviedo, Florida, security company called Clear Hat Consulting. The proof-of-concept software will be demonstrated publicly for the first time at the

Although we all know that an online consultation may not be such a great idea in case of a serious illness, most patients would do it if their doctors agreed. Unfortunately, the majority of doctors avoid providing email advice because of hackers, The Detroit News today informs. Although all the other industries had an impressive evolution in the online markets, doctors have a series of fears which keep them away from the Internet connections. Beside hackers, doctors are afraid that sending advice online isn't a secure activity because they may not receive the money for the consultation they give on the web. "Doctors have their reasons for not hitting the reply button more often. Some worry it will increase their workload, and most physicians don't get reimbursed for it by insuranc

A veces, los hackers representan una oposición al poder, una postura política y pueden tener la simpatía del usuario común. En otras ocasiones, ejercen un abuso de control innecesario y dañino, justificando el repudio a sus actividades. Tal es el caso con el ataque sufrido en el foro de Epilepsy Foundation - una organización sin fines de lucro que une a pacientes con epilepsia - que afectó físicamente a más de un usuario.

Hackers took over an Indonesian government website for several hours to protest against a new law banning online pornography, the information ministry has said. The protesters posted a message Thursday on the ministry of information website challenging it to "prove that the law was not drafted to cover the government's stupidity."

Filed under: LaptopsLast year's PWN 2 OWN contest at the CanSecWest security conference went over way better than expected (read: exploits were glorified), so this year, organizers have spiced things up by letting hackers have their way with three separate machines. The Linux, OS X and Vista-based rigs were all setup as similarly as possible in order to "make sure the attack surface was the same on all of them." For attendees in Vancouver, there sits a $20,000 top prize -- which dwindles with each passing day as restrictions on attacks ease up -- but it can only be acquired if an all new zero-day cyber roundhouse kick is used. Anyone here going to give it a go? You get to keep the freshly victimized laptop too, you know. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

One of the most important things about being successful on eBay is to take active steps to safeguard your eBay password (also PayPal), not just in the early days but for as long as you remain a member of one or other site.That said, it isn’t just through emails your passwords may be picked up and used by fraudsters. Some people use passwords that are amazingly easy for scamsters to guess, such as a first name followed by year of birth (avril1950, for example) or the city from which they run the business (available for all to see inside almost any eBay listing).More often though the blame lies fairly and squarely with the person staring back at you from the bathroom mirror! Case in point: one of our own subscribers once asked me my eBay User ID to see how I listed items similar to those h

1. IntroductionPHP () is a powerful server side web scripting solution. It has quickly grown in popularity and according to the 2000 January Netcraft Web Server Survey PHP is installed on 12.8% of all web sites. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly.Being a good PHP hacker isn't just about writing single line solutions to complex problems. For example, web gurus know that speed of coding is much more important than speed of code. In this article we'll look at techniques that can help you become a better PHP hacker.
