Microsoft's folding its Trustworthy Computing group into two other groups, along with related staff cuts, raise questions among security professionals.

Distributed-denial-of-service attacks that target the Bash flaws known as Shellshock have spiked in recent days.

The latest Internet security bug could allow attackers to take control of millions of computers and devices and reverberate for years.

The Bash software bug, which could affect more than half of all web servers, is being called the most serious cybersecurity threat every by some security experts.

The recently discovered Shellshock - or Bash - vulnerability is being actively targeted bymalware gangs, who appear to have already claimed more than 700 victims.

A day after the Department of Homeland Security advised Internet users and corporations about a newly discovered software bug that could affect hundreds of millions of systems, hackers had already begun exploiting the bug and companies were rushing to fix the issue for their users.

A programming flaw dubbed the “Bash Bug,” or more ominously “Shellshock,” is being described as potential threat to millions of computers, servers, medical devices, power plants and municipal water systems and even common objects such as refrigerators and cameras.

Here are some common questions and answers about the latest security scare.

CGI-based web servers are the biggest target, but other web servers, hosting services, embedded systems, Mac OSX, and IoT endpoints are all at risk

Trend Micro includes a number of suite-level extras in its entry-level antivirus, leaving me to wonder what I'd find in the full-scale security suite.

Researchers are warning that the Nuclear exploit kit has evolved, a change evident by the rising number of software products targeted by the crimeware kit, which now takes aim at vulnerable versions of Microsoft Silverlight to spread malware.

Federal law protects consumers from the cost of fraudulent charges incurred when thieves steal credit-card and debit-card numbers. That’s good for the millions of Americans who had their payments data exposed by the hackers who breached Home Depot’s (HD) computer system earlier this year. And it’s bad for merchants, who often take losses on sales made to crooks with stolen cards

A code analysis reveals the malware were not from the same family and were probably written by different people

With this year's dramatic uptick in data breaches targeting retailers and restaurant chains and, more specifically, the payment card data they process every day, it's safe to say that, for the moment, cyber crooks feel like they have found the goose that lays golden eggs.
