In case you live on the moon, what happened last week was that a small amount of Microsoft source code was leaked to the Web. Granted, small is relative.

Computer attackers are among those discussing and dissecting exploit code for a recently disclosed, serious security gap in all newer versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems, following a pattern now familiar to victims of the SQL Slammer, Blaster, Nimda or Code Red viruses. And while past experience -- and the resulting preparedness -- mig...
The first vulnerability stemming from the Windows source code apparently leaked last week by one of Microsoft's developers has been posted on the Internet "It appears that it could be used to attack ordinary users, but according to the person posting it, it does not affect newer versions of Internet Explorer," said Stuart Moore, CEO of SecurityTrac...

Moreover, NetScreen's recent acquisition of Neoteris, a leader in SSL VPN (virtual private network) solutions, adds another weapon to its broad security arsenal...
The past year has had no shortage of costly and complicating computer viruses and worms -- SoBig, Swen, Klez and Yaha, among others -- but what might be more troubling is the intersection of these attacks with the world of spam, which not only is pouring on in quantity, but also is carrying more destructive payloads Tack on to these issues the rela...

Remember that weekend trip you took to Palm Springs five years ago with your friends? No? Well, the U.S. government probably does.
