And because of this, many security researches are held looking for security flaws and ways to exploring it, and there’s also the bad guys (black hats, cracker).

Covering the mSpy breach, Trey Ford Global Security Strategist from Rapid7’s wanted to share some comment on the news: “I think the most interesting aspect of this breach is that people being spied on were having their information stolen by one party, and it’s now moving rapidly through the underground. Not only is the legality of installing this software questionable (CFAA, etc.), but those who have the software on their devices have had their lives laid out in an un-contained information disclosure – it’s highly unlikely the victims of this crime will understand the extent of the damage for a very long time, if…

CrowdStrike* researchers recently announced the discovery of a new vulnerability in many popular virtual machine platforms. Dubbed ‘Venom’ the zero-day flaw reportedly affects virtual floppy drive code used by computer virtualisation platforms. The vulnerability could allow attackers to gain access outside of an affected virtual machine, potentially putting sensitive information at risk. Chris Oakley, Principal Security Consultant at cyber security consultancy, Nettitude, has made the following comments: “It is not surprising that the attack vector for Venom lies in older and probably neglected code. We often see the highest impact attacks resulting from legacy code; the floppy disk controller that…

New research conducted by Bloor Research, in conjunction with Boldon James, highlighted data security as a critical or serious concern for most organisations surveyed, with data classification recognised as a foundational…
The connected world is coming sooner than you think. App developers and mobile service providers are already taking advantage of the new era of connected cars, wearable devices, and entire smart homes — all fitting into the notion of the Internet of Things (IoT).

This sudden expansion will boost the economic impact of the IoT as consumers, businesses, city authorities, hospitals, and many other entities find new ways in which to exploit the technology. Yet, they won’t…
