SCO, the ever-popular Unix company, has come under attack from hackers once again. This time they have replaced the front page of SCO's Web site with their own version that parodies SCO's legal battles over Linux.
Restricting your Web surfing to "trusted" sites is no longer enough to keep your machine safe from malicious software, according to security experts. Many of today's most popular sites draw on content produced by third parties such as advertisements, widgets or user-contributed content. This content can be used as vehicles for distributing malware without the knowledge of the site's owner.
Microsoft is taking phishers to court in Europe, after launching a similar legal campaign in the United States.
Web surfers are no longer playing Russian roulette each time they visit a Web site, security researchers say, now that a far-reaching Internet attack has been disarmed.

The world of IT security is in chaos, with CSOs seemingly on the front lines of a full scale global cyberwar being fought out by government hackers, botnet-controlling criminal gangs and compromised Web sites. Can we ever hope to keep networks safe in such an environment?
In three years phishing has transformed from an unknown threat into a multi-million dollar industry; in the next stage of its evolution, phishers will avoid using spam and instead hijack small parts of 'trusted' Web sites in order to bypass anti-phishing tools.
The explosion in drive-by download attacks continues to grow. How has the situation got so dangerous? Are there any "trusted" Web sites left?
Symantec on Tuesday plans to launch the Symantec Internet Threat Meter, a free service meant to inform consumers about the state of Net security.
Plans are afoot to attack spammers by launching the kind of cyber-attack favoured by organised crime and hackers with an axe to grind.
Microsoft has warned of three flaws affecting its software, the most serious of which would allow an attacker to gain full control of a PC using Java applets.

The HDX4000 is one of Polycom's premier products in their video-telephony range, while it's a beautiful machine featuring great quality video conferencing, it's priced to scare.
While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.
