Today’s information technologies are a rather mishmashed system comprised of top-notch innovations interspersed with legacy technologies, some of which have been in use for decades and rarely changed. This “coexistence” of new and old led to the discovery of dramatic bugs that had stayed below the radar for years.

A new APT campaign called Regin targets the usual victims plus a prestigious cryptographer and the GSM standard on which most cellular communications occur.

Medieval doors were extremely sturdy due to their two-layer construction and different wood grain directions across those layers. Multilayered defensive structures is a must in cybersecurity as well.

By default, your iPhone’s OS is set to give you the best performance instead of the best battery life. But you can change that!

Microsoft has patched yet another bug in OLE, this time one that’s 19-years-old. While it is extremely surprising this bug hadn’t been discovered earlier, the crucial question here is the use of the underreviewed legacy code that developers have to drag along for decades.

The first five victims of Stuxnet were deliberately selected by the attackers and allowed to execute an attack on the uranium enrichment plant in Netenz.

Will mankind become overrun by technological and information threats while future humans’ raison d’etre would be to keep the machines going “Metropolis” or “Matrix” style? We don’t know. The future remains a product of our imagination until it comes true, while our reality is the consequence of actions.

This is how a seemingly simple SIM card in your smartphone can contribute to the loss of money and personal data.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation recently graded a slew of mobile and Internet messaging services based on security and privacy. Here we detail the top scorers.

The newly disclosed Darkhotel APT campaign will surely draw increased scrutiny to hospitality systems’ security worldwide. Hoteliers acknowledge the existence of security problems in their software systems, and many are opting to move these systems into the cloud. Is this a viable solution?
