The large-scale hacking attack against Wall Street this summer was more significant than the public realizes, analysts say.

Sears Holdings Corp (SHLD.O) said it was the victim of a cyberattack that likely resulted in the theft of some customer payment cards at its Kmart stores, the latest in a series of computer security breaches to hit U.S. companies and dealing a fresh blow to the struggling U.S. retailer.

What a difference a few months can make. Shortly after the Heartbleed bug caused a panic in security circles, along comes something which could be even more serious and the reaction seems to be one big yawn.

Attacks exploiting the Shellshock vulnerability (actually, vulnerabilities) are popping up daily, but while Shellshock attacks on web apps have been the most documented and discussed, attacks via other attack surfaces are possible, too.

Attackers have been leveraging Shellshockvulnerabilities to deliver malware since the issue was disclosed in late September, and now researchers with Trend Micro have observed a Bash bug payload – detected as TROJ_BASHKAI.SM – downloading the source code of KAITEN malware.

CEO Andrew Monshaw says Pulse's mobile security products and MobileSpaces' technology give the company a complete portfolio.

In wake of the massive data breach at JPMorgan Chase (JPM), which compromised the contact information of 76 million households, consumers can take comfort that the hackers weren't able to access any confidential information. Unfortunately, the story isn't over.

Hackers are failing to exploit Bash flaws emerging in the wake of the Shellshock bug, according to security firm Trend Micro.

Internet security research group Trend Micro has revealed on their blog about the discovery of a new botnet, one which took advantage of vulnerabilities found in the Bash Linux command control center, known more commonly now as the “ShellShock” bug.

Cyber attackers pulled off the largest-ever data breach on a bank this summer. But the theft of contact information for 83 million JPMorgan Chase personal and business account users isn’t the most worrisome thing about the hack, experts say.
