After years of testing, Gmail has finally added a very useful security feature:
tracking open sessions. If you log in
to Gmail from more than one computer and you forget to sign out, you'll be able to see the list of locations where your account can still be
accessed.
Until now, the only solution when you forgot to log out from Gmail after using a public computer was to change your
password. Otherwise, anyone could access your account without knowing the password. Now you can sign out remotely from all the locations where your
Gmail account is still open.

perpetually in beta. For example, Gmail has worn the beta tag more than five years. We realize this situation puzzles some people, particularly those
who subscribe to the traditional definition of "beta" software as not being yet ready for prime time." Google says it has added new features to

17.07.2008Symantec: Microsoft Access ActiveX attacks will intensify
An easy-to-use toolkit used to hack computers has now been updated to take advantage of an unpatched security vulnerability in Microsoft's
software, which could mean attacks will intensify, according to vendor Symantec. The Neosploit toolkit is one of several on the Internet that can be
used by less-technical hackers to compromise machines. Symantec said it has detected on its network of Internet sensors that Neosploit can take
advantage of a vulnerability revealed early last week in Microsoft's Access database program.
"Further analysis of these honeypot
compromises has revealed that the exploit has been added to a variant of the Neosploit exploit kit, it will very likely reach a larger number of
victims," according to an entry on the company's ThreatCon advisory board. Microsoft hasn't patched the bug yet, and the company just issued
its patches for the month on July 8. The vulnerability is within the Snapshot Viewer ActiveX control, which launches a viewer for Microsoft Access
reports that doesn't require running the Access software itself.

04.07.2007British ISPs restrict access to Wikimedia sites
Wikipedia has reported that at least six Internet Service Providers in the United Kingdom have restricted, and in some cases blocked access to
Wikimedia sites, as well as "up to 1200 other websites". The restrictions have been implemented due to pages with images of what some have called
child pornography. The page believed to be the main cause behind this is a Wikipedia entry on The Scorpions (a German heavy-metal band) album cover
for their album titled 'Virgin Killer', which according to Wikipedia, "displays an underage girl, posing nude, with a lens crack crossing
over her genitals, but nothing blocking out her breasts".

I always think that its all very well and good having an opinion about something, or a subject you wish to talk about, but without anyone to listen to
you, you may easily go unheard. A hefty part of a journalist's success derives from the potential size of the readership one can access. Simply,
if nobody is there to listen then you may go unheard. To this end, another part of a news reporter's job is to actively access the maximum
readership possible, basically anything short of going cold war, flying a microlight whilst dropping copies of the article.

06.07.2009Cisco fixes wireless security holes
Cisco has issued two sets of
patches that address a number
of security flaws in the
software used to manage its
wireless networking products.
One fixes flaws in the
Wireless Control System
software used to manage the
company's Aironet Lightweight
Access Points, Wireless LAN
Controllers, and Wireless
Location Appliance. The second
set of patches fixes bugs in
the Wireless LAN Controller,
which controls Aironet access
points as well as flaws in the
access points themselves.
These flaws could be exploited
to disrupt networking
services, gain access to
information, or even take
control of an access point.
The Wireless Control
System patch fixes
" multiple vulnerabilities
that can result in information
disclosure, privilege
escalation, and unauthorized
access ," the company said
in a security advisory. In its
second advisory, Cisco said it
has also patched flaws that
affect the Wireless LAN
Controller, the company's
Catalyst series switches, and
1000-series and 1500-series
models of the Aironet access
points.

13.04.2007Microsoft Office Access files targeted for attack
Online criminals are exploiting a flaw in the Microsoft Office Access database to install unauthorized software on computers, the United States
Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) warned Monday. In its brief warning, US-CERT offered few details on the attack, saying simply that the
organization is "aware of active exploitation" of the problem by criminals who have sent specially crafted Microsoft Access Database (.mdb) files to
victims.
These files are "designed for the sole purpose of executing commands," so they should not be accepted from untrusted sources,
Microsoft said in a note on its Web site. Run by the U.S. Department of Defense, US-CERT is charged with coordinating the nation's response to
cyberattacks. Companies typically block the use of .mdb files, but criminals could be using this attack in a targeted strike against an organization
that is known to use this particular file-type, said Ben Greenbaum, senior manager for Symantec security response. Symantec itself has seen no
evidence of the .mdb exploitation that prompted the US-CERT alert.

attempt to view the options for POP3 will be presented with the following page: While this is purely speculative, it could signal that Yahoo! is
preparing to grant all of their Mail users access to POP3 and forwarding for free.

04.03.2009Vulnerability in the ActiveX Control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Access
Microsoft is investigating active, targeted attacks leveraging a potential vulnerability in the ActiveX control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft
Access. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page. When a user views the Web page, the vulnerability
could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user.
The ActiveX control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Access enables you to view an Access report snapshot without having the
standard or run-time versions of Microsoft Office Access. The vulnerability only affects the ActiveX control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft
Office Access 2000, Microsoft Office Access 2002, and Microsoft Office Access 2003.
The ActiveX control is shipped with all
supported versions of Microsoft Office Access except for Microsoft Office Access 2007. The ActiveX control is also shipped with the standalone
Snapshot Viewer.
