There are several reasons why Linux has such a good reputation and has become such a good standard across the world. It is the power behind most internet servers and cloud infrastructures as well as billions of Android devices. It is stable, has consistently high-performance levels, and remains very flexible. You don’t have to deal with expensive licenses, can view and share code, and can customize any part of the interface to suit your demands. In an age of data breaches and continuous...

Accepting file uploads is basically inviting strangers to throw random objects through your front window and hoping your living room furniture catches them. Whether it's profile pictures, PDF invoices, or archive files, handling raw uploads means you're trusting external input to behave. . The file sitting on your disk isn't actually the threat. A malicious JPEG doesn't execute code just by existing in a directory. The real danger is the parser—the image library, the unmanaged C-based PDF...

You've probably trained your team to look for red flags. Odd sender names, urgent language, mismatched links. But a well-crafted spoofed email won't trip any of those wires. It looks legitimate, sounds legitimate, and often comes from a domain that passes every automated check you throw at it. . Attackers know exactly how humans scan an inbox. They design around it. This guide walks you through the techniques attackers use to slip a spoofed email past both your filters and your users and what...

Most Linux teams don't struggle to find vulnerabilities anymore. They struggle to decide which ones deserve attention first. Between daily scanner results, vendor advisories, and hundreds of new CVEs each month, the challenge isn't visibility—it's prioritization. . To solve this, organizations typically lean on the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. But these aren’t competing lists. They answer two entirely different questions. While the...

GNOME is officially shortening its standard vulnerability disclosure window from 90 days to 30 days, a change that impacts upstream maintainers, downstream Linux distributions, and system administrators in how they handle software vulnerabilities. The policy shift, announced by long-time security coordinator Michael Catanzaro , addresses modern software patching realities and a growing influx of automated submissions. . Because GNOME is the default desktop environment on several major Linux...

LulzSec Hacker Jake Davis Sentenced to 24 Months for Conspiracy

LulzSec Hacker "Topiary" famously tweeted: "You cannot arrest an idea." Perhaps not, but in the case of Topiary, revealed to be Jake Davis, now 20, you can be sentenced to 24 months in a "young offenders institute" for two counts of conspiracy to impair the operation of a computer, to be followed by a five-year serious crime prevention order that can restrict where he can travel and which jobs he'll be allowed to take. . Davis' sentence was handed out in a London courtroom Thursday, where he appeared this week for sentencing with Ryan Cleary (Viral), Mustafa al-Bassam (Tflow) and Ryan Ackroyd (Kayla). All were participants in the Anonymous spin-off known as LulzSec, which launched online attacks against numerous organizations' websites, including the CIA, Britain's Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA) and National Health Service (NHS), 20th Century Fox, News International, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, from which it also leaked customer credentials and credit card numbers. The link for this article located at Information Week is no longer available. .
