  • Wireless Hacker Pleads Guilty -  Michigan man pleaded guilty last week to four counts of wire fraud and unauthorized access to a computer after he and two accomplices used a vulnerable wireless network at a Lowe's Companies store in Michigan to attempt to steal credit card numbers from the company's main computer systems in North Carolina and other Lowe's stores in the U.S. Brian Salcedo could face up to 18 years in prison for the crime, which the government claims could have caused more than $2.5 million in damages. However, federal prosecutors will ask for a more lenient sentence in exchange for Salcedo's cooperation in other investigations stemming from the incident and full disclosure of details about the intrusions on Lowe's network, according to a copy of the plea agreement.
  • Virus writers deploy bulk mail software - Hackers have used spamming software to distribute thousands of copies of a new Trojan. Email filtering firm MessageLabs alone has intercepted more than 4,000 copies of the Demonize-T Trojan over the last 24 hours. Demonize-T is a multi-stage Trojan that uses an object data exploit in Internet Explorer to download and execute an encoded visual basic script from a website. The Trojan then creates an executable file which appears to download a malicious program from the same website as the original script. Early analysis suggests Demonize-T is similar to previous attacks where malicious code has been used to install key loggers and password stealers.

The relaunched product will be available in the third quarter of this year and will be able to manage user log-ins for around 90 different enterprise applications using single sign-on technology licensed from Passlogix. A new RSA technology called IntelliAccess will allow users to recover forgotten user names and passwords, saving expensive help desk calls, RSA said.
  • Apple patches "critical" OS X flaw - A combination of holes disclosed by security researchers last month could have allowed an attacker to take over a vulnerable Macintosh, though no such exploits have been reported. Apple issued a partial fix last month, but security researchers had said that the Mac remained open to attack. Apple executives had earlier pledged to release a more complete patch, calling the flaw the first critical security issue since Mac OS X was released three years ago.

  • Off-topic: Venus to Pass Between Earth and Sun for First Time in 121 Years  - Venus will pass between the Earth and the Sun today in the first transit visible for more than a century. If skies are clear, observers from three quarters of the globe will be able to view the phenomenon. The transit of Venus begins at about 6:20 a.m. London time, and ends at about 12:23 p.m., according to the U.K.'s Royal Astronomical Society. The planet's passage across the face of the Sun will be visible from Earth wherever there is daylight and skies are clear. Viewers should not look directly at the Sun as it can lead to permanent blindness, according to the society.
  • Micro laptop gets DVD - Electronics firm JVC will next month ship an updated version of its Mini Note ultraportable laptop including a built-in DVD/CD-RW drive for the first time.
