The Metropolitan Police were called in after vandals breached a database maintained by  St George's University of London medical school  and sent obscene mails to the users of the database. The emails claimed that the database was "closed due to Aids", and that university executive board members were involved in child pornography. The Guardian newspaper reported that the breach occurred last week in the Primary Care Electronic Library [PCEL] database, a list of UK based doctors and nurses. PCEL does not contain patient medical records. According to the university, only the PCEL database server was affected and not the main university server. Confidential details of partners, staff and students were not compromised.

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." Lush became aware that its security had been breached on Christmas Day and investigated, but only told customers on January 21 when it shut down i

The introduction of Open AI's ChatGPT was a defining moment for the software industry, touching off a GenAI race with its November 2022 release. SaaS vendors are now rushing to upgrade tools with enhanced productivity capabilities that are driven by generative AI. Among a wide range of uses, GenAI tools make it easier for developers to build software, assist sales teams in mundane email writing, help marketers produce unique content at low cost, and enable teams and creatives to brainstorm new ideas.  Recent significant GenAI product launches include Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and Salesforce Einstein GPT. Notably, these GenAI tools from leading SaaS providers are paid enhancements, a clear sign that no SaaS provider will want to miss out on cashing in on the GenAI transformation. Google will soon launch its SGE "Search Generative Experience" platform for premium AI-generated summaries rather than a list of websites.  At this pace, it's just a matter of a short time befo

A Texas man has admitted hacking into servers owned by an e-commerce company and making off with about $275,000. Jeremey Parker of Houston also copped to charges of breaking into servers maintained by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland and causing some $43,000 of damage. The hacking spree spanned a 10-month stretch starting in December 2008 with the breach of systems owned by SWReg. A subsidiary of Digital River of Minnesota, the company manages royalties for independent software developers. "Parker hacked into SWReg's system, created the money by crediting the SWReg accounts, and then caused that money to be wire transferred to his bank account instead of the accounts of several developers," a press release issued by the US Attorney's office in Minnesota said. The NASA servers Parker hacked gave paying members of the scientific community access to oceanic data being sent to Earth from satellites. Eventually, the data was made available to everyone. Parker
