The ZeuS malware is coming of age and the infections are going to get a lot worse says Trusteer, the secure browsing services specialist.  ZeuS malware has already been pushed extensively to users of Web 2.0 and/or social networking sites plus services such as Facebook, Twitter and, most recently, to users of the business social networking site, LinkedIn. Malware is also being modified by cybercriminals using coding toolkits to attack smartphone users. Recent postings by our IT security colleagues at S21sec about ZeuS targeting smartphone users are just the tip of the iceberg when considering the potential of these attacks.

The demonstrations will showcase Napatech’s new NT20E2 2x10Gbps intelligent network analysis adapter based on PCI-Express Gen 2.

At the same time, there is also a need for more affordable solutions based on standard components. With our 20Gbps traffic generation capabilities, we enable an extremely cost effective packet blasting solution with very high performance.”

It's that time of the year again - time for the White Hat Rally, which sees competitors from the information security industry steering a variety of cars - vintage, banger and even fancy dress - across France and Italy, taking in some amazing scenery and a visit to the famous revolving restaurant at Piz Gloria along the way.  The organised motor rally is hard work - and great fun - for the competitors, but it's easy to forget that this, the second annual contest, is all about charity and the organisers are aiming to raise £30,000 for NSPCC ChildLine.

According to Malcolm Marshall,  chair of the White Hat Rally charity committee, and whose day job is Lead Partner for Security Services at KPMG,  "All proceeds from the ThunderCrawl rally will go to the NSPCC's ChildLine charity, which has no less than thirteen 24x7 telephone counselling centres across the UK.
