Apple App Store Attack - Are you safe?




Malicious code has been found in dozens of popular apps in Apple's App Store exposing perhaps millions of people to data theft and phishing. The attack originated in China and, so far, it looks like the biggest number of victims are found there. 

Security Bugs in Global Mobile Networks exposed!



Mobile networks around the world have been penetrated by criminals and governments via bugs in the code that keeps them running, research suggests.


The bugs could be abused to carry out large scale fraud and unlawful surveillance, security company Adaptive Mobile said.

It found evidence of compromise in most of the 75 networks it studied.
The study builds on work by other security researchers who warned about loopholes in core network code.

"There's varying rates of activity in every operator we have worked with," said Cathal McDaid, head of Adaptive Mobile's threat intelligence unit, which carried out the research. "They are all being hit by this to one extent or another."
