Microsoft has opted not to release any patches to its Internet Explorer 8 browser prior to this year's Pwn2Own browser exploit challenge, which is set to run from March 9 to March 11 at the CanSecWest security conference. There's been no indication as to why Microsoft's not making one last effort to plug security vulnerabilities within Internet Explorer 8. Pundits have suggested that the company might be waiting to see exactly what exploits and security flaws are uncovered by the various contestants in the annual contest, such that the company can more quickly address them post-Pwn. For the uninitiated, Pwn2Own works like this: Security researchers square off in an attempt to hack through the browser or mobile operating systems of eight different targets. Each Pwn2Own entrant or team has 30 minutes to compromise the browser or phone, and each device or web browser has—at maximum—four individuals or teams competing. The first group to successfully hack a device or browse...

Be careful what you click on when you're using Twitter, because there is a " Tweet Viewer " worm afoot. Under the guise of revealing who's been visiting your Twitter profile, when you click on its link it asks for your Twitter authorization, and then tweets that same message to more unsuspecting users. Keep in mind that merely clicking on the link is not going to automatically authorize anything — that only happens if you click the Authorize button after clicking the link. So, like many viruses, worms and scams, you have to actively give it to yourself, rather than having it attack you as you stand by innocently. The worm appears like this (notice the tweetviewer link): What to do if you've been caught up in this? It's easy enough to go to Settings/Connection/Revoke Access, and then you're free of it. Here's the help page if you need more info. And now, link shortener Bit.ly has stopped the unpleasantness for now by blocking domains hosting those scam links. However, if the app...

Trojans were the most prolific malware threat in February-March, and collaboration seems to be the name of the game in malware development and distribution. Trojan-based attacks continue to be the biggest malware threat in February, but PDF exploits aren't far behind, according to several security reports. About 1 in 290 e-mails in February were malicious, making the month one of the most prolific periods for the threats, according to Symantec's February 2011 MessageLabs Intelligence Report. The global ratio of spam in e-mail traffic was 81.3 percent, an increase of 2.7 percent since January, the report found. The recent decline in spam appears to have reversed for the time being, according to the report. There was a lot of botnet activity in February, and the perpetrators appeared to be working together to some extent to distribute Trojans, according to Symantec. There were signs of integration across Zeus, Bredolab and SpyEye, as techniques associated with one malware family w...
