We see the popular "captcha" security mechanism often ― wavy letters websites ask us to type into a box. It's used by web pages and newsletter sign-up forms to prevent computer robots from hacking into servers and databases. But these codes, which are becoming increasingly complicated for an average person to use, are not immune to security holes. http://www.physorg.com/news181311669.html Technology Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:21:43 EST news181311669 (AP) -- Hackers briefly blocked access to the popular Internet messaging service Twitter, steering traffic to another Web site where a group reportedly calling itself the "Iranian Cyber Army" claimed responsibility. http://www.physorg.com/news180342179.html Technology Fri, 18 Dec 2009 07:20:01 EST news180342179 (PhysOrg.com) -- A European research project works out how to keep car-to-car data transmissions private and secure from malicious hackers. http://www.physorg.com/news172175208.html Technology Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:00:01 EST news172175208 (PhysOrg.com) -- Furious competition between social networking sites is compromising the protection of users' data, a Cambridge University study has concluded. http://www.physorg.com/news167400726.html Technology Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:30:04 EST news167400726 Cyber criminals are aping executives when it comes to sales, marketing and risk management in the world of online treachery, according to a report released by networking giant Cisco. http://www.physorg.com/news166817806.html Technology Tue, 14 Jul 2009 23:20:01 EST news166817806 (AP) -- Hackers extracted lists of files from computers that they contaminated with the virus that triggered cyberattacks last week in the United States and South Korea, police in Seoul said Tuesday. http://www.physorg.com/news166768093.html Technology Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:28:41 EST news166768093 Cyber attacks on computer networks are becoming increasingly commonplace. To counter the threat, they are protected by so-called network intrusion detection systems. But these fail to identify some attacks, or do not spot them until it is too late. To improve matters, Damiano Bolzoni of the University of Twente (The Netherlands) has developed a system which paves the way for a new generation of network security. This forms the subject of his doctorate, awarded by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science on 25 June. http://www.physorg.com/news166370368.html Technology Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:00:06 EST news166370368 (PhysOrg.com) -- Cyber attacks on computer networks are becoming increasingly commonplace.
