When the world is finally revolting against tyranny, corruption and a disgraceful abuse of human rights, the group Consortium chooses to hack into a porn site and stole Users identity and credit card numbers of men and women, mostly who are serving in the military. ( List of Military Emails , Used in Porn Site to sign up is available in our last related article) May I ask Consortium to what end does this serve?

These improvements will increase the difficulty and development cost of exploits, making life harder for the bad guys.

Internet Explorer 10 will include two major new features: HEASLR (High Entropy Address Space Layout Randomization): functionality ad...
