Who's to blame for Snapchat's massive nude photo leak?

News broke this morning of a massive leak of photos and videos, many of which containing images of minors, of users of the service Snapchat, which is designed to delete all content automatically after it's been viewed by the intended recipients. Some are claiming that more than 200,000 user accounts were affected.Although not denying the hack involves the photos and videos of its users, Snapchat was quick to deflect responsibility. In a statement provided to VentureBeat, Snapchat confirmed that its servers were not hacked and claimed the leak was the result of a third-party Snapchat client designed to store images, videos, and the user names that correspond with each of them.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Linux botnet Mayhem spreads through Shellshock exploits

Shellshock continues to reverberate: Attackers are exploiting recently discovered vulnerabilities in the Bash command-line interpreter in order to infect Linux servers with a sophisticated malware program known as Mayhem.Mayhem was discovered earlier this year and was thoroughly analyzed by researchers from Russian Internet firm Yandex. It gets installed through a PHP script that attackers upload on servers via compromised FTP passwords, website vulnerabilities or brute-forced site administration credentials.Mayhem's main component is a malicious ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) library file that, after installation, downloads additional plug-ins and stores them in a hidden and encrypted file system. The plug-ins enable attackers to use the newly infected servers to attack and compromise additional sites.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE

Review: Surface Pro 3 isn't really what enterprises want in a laptop

There are a lot of good things to say about Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 tablet. It's lightweight. It's got a big, crisp display. It supports any app Windows 7 does plus all the ones designed just for Windows 8.1. It's got a pen that's nicely integrated with Office apps. Microsoft says it's the tablet that can replace your laptop, and that's true, although it has some physical shortcomings that laptops don't. For example, it requires a kickstand to prop it up when it's in laptop mode, which introduces some problems of its own. + Also on Network World: Surface Pro 3: A great business desktop and a pretty good laptop, too |10 things you need to know about Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 +To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE
