| Security Boffins Smell Phish in Hotmail, Yahoo Posted: 03 Jun 2011 11:58 AM PDT  Gmail is not the only e-mail service whose users have been targeted by spear-phishing hackers. Users at Yahoo Mail and Hotmail are also on the email infiltrators' hit lists, according to security firm Trend Micro. The attacks on the latter two email systems appear to be separately conducted, said Nart Villeneuve, senior threat researcher at Trend Micro. However, they contain significant similarities with the recently seen attacks on Gmail users. Earlier this week, Google disclosed that some of its Gmail users' accounts had been breached by hackers. |
| Heavens on Earth: 3 Planetariums on the Cutting Edge Posted: 03 Jun 2011 07:00 AM PDT  Planetariums may date back to the far reaches of recorded time, but the first widely known example -- an ancient cast-metal globe made by Archimedes to predict the movements of the planets -- now seems to have little in common with the technological marvels that have become widespread today. Rather than focusing on planets and predictions, today's planetariums are experiential wonders that immerse the visitor in the starry skies and do their best to bring the distant heavens down to Earth for closer inspection. Technology is what now makes it all happen, of course |
| Who Watches the Watchmen, Part 3: Flying Headlong Into a Cloud Posted: 03 Jun 2011 05:00 AM PDT  The current U.S. presidential administration is committed to the cloud, and Washington has targeted about one quarter of its $80 billion IT budget for potential migration to the cloud. The federal government's General Services Administration has also set up the Apps.gov website, which it describes as government agencies' "source for cloud computing applications." Many enterprises making efforts to move at least some of their assets to the cloud, move often made to costs and take advantage of the flexibility of cloud-based systems. |
| Androids Dream of Electric Malware, Wake Up in Cold Sweat Posted: 03 Jun 2011 05:00 AM PDT  Google has reportedly pulled several Android mobile applications that were lousy with malware from its official Android Market. This follows a report earlier this week from Lookout Mobile Security, which claimed it found dozens of apps in the market that contained malicious code. The suspect apps appear to be from the same developers who created DroidDream, the malware that hit Google in early March and was also discovered by Lookout. However, the new malware payload appears to be a stripped-down version of DroidDream, which Lookout has christened "DroidDream Light." |
