Following on the heels of a sophisticated cyber assault against the European Union's Commission and External Action Service, reports have surfaced that the EU Parliament's information systems are also being targeted in an attack. Officials indicate that the attacks have successfully penetrated the Parliament's networks in what appears to be an effort at “snooping around” for information. “Information technology services are working day and night to investigate and have put in place some security measures,”  a spokesperson for the Parliament said. The security measures mentioned include the disabling of any access to email services. “This is not a couple of teenage boys hacking into the [EU] institutions,”  another official stated. It is not yet known if the Parliament attacks are connected with the assault on the Commission, though it appears to be a coordinated effort. Last week the Commission experienced a "serious" cyber attack as officials were preparing for ...

Google, proving the efficacy of Chrome's built-in Flash Player and its early, insider access to Adobe's developer builds, has fixed the zero-day vulnerability that emerged last week. The hole will be plugged on other platforms and browsers by a new version of Flash 10.1 and 10.2 that should've been released by now. If you've restarted Google Chrome in the last few days, you should now have the updated Flash Player. Otherwise, go ahead and restart your browser now and it will automatically update. 

#OperationPayback Next Traget : Warnerbrosrecords.com ! The Next Target of Anonymous Hackers is Warnerbrosrecords.com, They Release a note with reason of it, as given below ... Reason : Limewire has been sued for 75 TRILLION Dollars by 13 record companies. Every single US household would have to spend all of its income buying nothing but music for over 13 years in order to arrive at what the music industry has deemed a reasonable settlement. To put that number into perspective the U.S. GDP is around $14 trillion -- less than one fifth of what the music industry is requesting. Heck, the GDP of the entire world is between 59 and 62 trillion. That's right, the music industry wants LimeWire to pay more money than exists in the entire world. Limewire, the plaintiffs allege, owes them between US$400 billion and US$75 trillion. The latter, written out, comes to 75,000,000,000,000. Even the lower figure of $400 billion still amounts to seven percent of total hous...

The rogue hacktivist movement Anonymous is apparently breaking out the Low Orbit Ion Cannon again for a reprise of the Operation Payback campaign, this time setting their distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack sites on the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The campaign to disrupt the RIAA website is reminiscent of Anonymous' earlier missions to protest actions taken by anti-piracy interests seeking to enforce copyright infringement sanctions. The RIAA is seeking trillions of dollars in damages from the P2P file-sharing network LimeWire for facilitating copyright infractions. Federal Judge Kimba Wood has already indicated she believes that the logic behind the RIAA calculations of the damages sought in the case is flawed, according to Computerworld. "If Plaintiffs were able to pursue a statutory damage theory based on the number of direct infringers per work, Defendants' damages could reach into the trillions," Judge Wood wrote. Nonethele...
