The Hacker News Magazine - Anniversary Edition  - November Issue 06 In November of 2010 the team at The Hacker News finally achieved our ultimate goal of launching an online News Portal and Magazine addressing the tricky and complicated world of hackers and hacking. In our first year The Hacker News made our fair shares of mistakes, typical of first-time publishers, but our successes have been innumerable and The Hacker News has reached many of it goals in this often hectic and exciting  first year. The Hacker News was fortunate enough to have assembled a dedicated and professional team that intrinsically understood that it is not enough to hope to succeed; you have to plan to succeed. And I am grateful to each and every one of these talent people that understood this concept and helped implement it daily to help insure our success. As the mainstream media often denigrates computer hackers as nothing more than digital pranksters, we at The Hacker News believe that many of these

Over the past two years, a shocking  51% of organizations surveyed in a leading industry report have been compromised by a cyberattack.  Yes, over half.  And this, in a world where enterprises deploy  an average of 53 different security solutions  to safeguard their digital domain.  Alarming? Absolutely. A recent survey of CISOs and CIOs, commissioned by Pentera and conducted by Global Surveyz Research, offers a quantifiable glimpse into this evolving battlefield, revealing a stark contrast between the growing risks and the tightening budget constraints under which cybersecurity professionals operate. With this report, Pentera has once again taken a magnifying glass to the state of pentesting to release its annual report about today's pentesting practices. Engaging with 450 security executives from North America, LATAM, APAC, and EMEA—all in VP or C-level positions at organizations with over 1,000 employees—the report paints a current picture of modern security validation prac

POOLE-based cosmetics retailer Lush is back online after it was forced to suspend internet sales after hackers attacked its website. Lush closed the site last month and asked anyone who placed an online order between October 4 and January 20 to contact their bank in case their card details had been compromised. A temporary site was back up and running late on Friday, before the full website re-launches. Shoppers are now being directed away from the Lush site when they come to the checkout, making payments at the Worldpay site. An online message to shoppers reads: "You can shop with confidence knowing that your details will be safe. Meanwhile the rest of the site has been tested by external experts to check that our processes are all as secure as they can be." It adds: "Thank you all for coming back to us and trusting us to serve you again."
