A weekly series by UPI examining the global telecommunications phenomenon known as the World Wide Web. -- CHICAGO, July 28 (UPI) -- Computer hooligans are increasingly employing more sophisticated techniques to trick unsuspecting consumers and infect their PCs with viruses, including embedding malicious code in fabricated news images, such as those posted on the Internet last week purporting to show terrorist madman Osama bin Laden dead from suicide. "If you are going to talk about trends in malware -- malicious code -- you must talk about trends in overall computer technology," said Sam Curry, the vice president of security management...

Federal prosecutors on Wednesday announced a 144-count indictment against a Florida businessman for allegedly hacking personal information on millions of Americans from Acxiom Corp. databases over a 17-month period. Prosecutors claimed that Scott Levine, 45, of Boca Raton, Fla.-based Snipermail.com Inc., accessed Acxiom databases between April 2002 and August 2003. Information accessed included names, addresses, e-mail addresses, customer demographics, and probably some birth dates and social security numbers. “It may be the biggest cyber-crime ever prosecuted and investigated,” said assistant U.S. Attorney Sandra Cherry during a news conference at the U.S. Attorney’s Little Rock office. It alleges 139 instances...

Chinese hackers have been blamed for a wave of attacks on South Korean government computers, the latest in a series of internet security breaches in which China is alleged to have been involved.

The Web attack that was stopped dead in its tracks on Friday when a Russian Web site was taken offline remained under investigation Monday by a host of security firms still puzzled over the method used to infect a number of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) servers. But the evidence now is leading them to accept Microsoft's explanation that the IIS 5.0 servers were hacked manually and that the server software doesn't have an unknown, or so-called "zero-day," vulnerability. "Nobody yet knows how these servers were infected," said Ken Dunham, the director of malicious code research at iDefense. "But if...

CHICAGO, June 25 (UPI) -- A hacker sits on a bench at Grand Central Station in New York City and, with his mobile phone and a Wireless Fidelity connection, deviously places a virus on the cell phones of unsuspecting commuters as they walk nearby, on their way to work. Within a few hours, the virus multiplies, infecting several hundred thousand phones, causing them to dial long distance numbers and run up millions of dollars in fraudulent telecom charges. Fantasy? No -- the coming reality. Viruses and worms on mobile phones are now considered by computer gurus to be a legitimate...

Government and industry experts are reporting a mysterious, large-scale Internet attack against thousands of popular Web sites. The virus-like infection tries to implant hacker software onto the computers of all Web site visitors. Industry experts and the Homeland Security Department are studying the infection to determine how it spreads across Web sites and find adequate defenses against it. A government warning says even Web sites trusted by users may contain the potentially malicious code. The infection appears to target at least one recent version of Microsoft's Internet Information Server, which is popular among businesses and organizations. The United States Computer...

SEOUL, (AFP) - South Korea's top military intelligence chief says North Korea is operating an elite military unit specializing in hacking into South Korean computer networks. Song Young-Keun, commanding general of the counter-intelligence Defense Security Command, said at a conference here that North Korea was building up its "cyber-terror" capability on orders from its leader, Kim Jong-Il. "Following orders from Chairman Kim Jong-Il, North Korea has been operating a crack unit specializing in computer hacking and strengthening its cyber-terror ability," he said in a keynote speech. The conference was organized by the Korea Information Security Agency affiliated with the information...

Computer security specialist Symantec Thursday moved swiftly to patch for four very serious vulnerabilities in its popular Norton firewall product suite. An alert from Cupertino, Calif.-based Symantec described the flaws as "high risk" and warned that a successful exploit could wipe out a user's computer. Attackers could also execute remote code with kernel-level privileges on the targeted system. The vulnerabilities, first discovered by researchers at eEye Digital Security, affect both enterprise and consumer Norton users. Affected products include the Symantec Client Firewall 5.01 and 5.1.1; the Symantec Client Security 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 (SCF 7.1); the Norton Internet Security and Professional...

A Milwaukee computer security expert's research has helped discover a potential for serious Internet traffic-flow vulnerabilities. Left unchecked, hackers could disrupt Web surfing, e-mail and other forms of electronic communication. Paul Watson, who works for Rockwell Automation's Information Security Group, has been working with the British government's National Infrastructure Security Coordination Centre. The organization released information Tuesday addressing flaws that could allow hackers to knock computers off-line and disrupt vital traffic-directing devices, called routers, that coordinate the flow of data among distant groups of computers. "It's a vulnerability that everyone has known about but never really talked about," Watson, 35,...

<p>PALM BEACH, Florida -- A new computer chip promises to keep police guns from firing if they fall into the wrong hands.</p> <p>The tiny chip would be implanted in a police officer's hand and would match up with a scanning device inside a handgun. If the officer and gun match, a digital signal unlocks the trigger so it can be fired. But if a child or criminal would get hold of the gun, it would be useless.</p>

I hadn’t heard anything via the news today, but the DIS (Department of Information Services) the department responsible for upkeep of the state’s computer systems (Government, Schools, etc.) instructed all schools statewide that all computers, including workstations, servers, etc. MUST be shut down at the end of the school day today (Friday 4/16/2004). This is to apply to ALL computers tied in with the state network. The reason? An unmanageable number of viruses and an attack by hackers (probably allowed in via the email worms infecting the system). The network is suppose to be completely down through 8:00 AM Monday...

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany — Air Force computer gurus are entrenched in a cyber war against themselves. Just as Air Force pilots fly mock dogfights during their exercises, so too do network security experts battle imaginary foes to train for the real world. This week, nine Air Force major commands and two Air Force agencies are engaged in Exercise Black Demon to root out insidious computer hackers who would seek to destroy the Air Force’s operations with but a few keystrokes. “Just like our pilots and air crews want to gain air and space superiority, we want to gain network...

Hackers are preparing to launch a massive attack on millions of home PC users, experts have warned. They believe the current explosion in the number of email viruses - including MyDoom, netsky and bagle - is laying the groundwork for a systematic attack. The experts suspect that organised crime syndicates could be involved. Millions of computers across the world have been infected by one of the unprecedented number of viruses circulating. Some viruses have been designed so that when they infect a computer, they install an "electronic backdoor". This can be used later to hack into the infected computer and...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Hackers broke into a state agency's server containing the sensitive personal information of tens of thousands of people who work as nannies, butlers, and gardeners, and those who employ them.
