High-profile cyberattacks, like the one JPMorgan Chase revealed thatpotentially compromised 76 million households, would logically lead one to think that bank and credit card data are a hacker's primary target.

JPMorgan Chase labels as inaccurate an Oct. 2 New York Times report about a second data breach against the financial institution.

A Mac that runs the OS X operating system is still far more secure than a PC running Windows. But that’s not to say Macs aren’t at risk.

Do I really need to be worried about all these bugs and vulnerabilities, or is this stuff tech companies need to care about? Can someone actually use these against me?

Security software provider Trend Micro will share its threat information analysis with global police agency Interpol for the next three years, in a bid to bridge the gap in information sharing between the public and private sectors.

In the wake of this week's news that a second point-of-sale breach has struck grocery chain SuperValu, experts warn many more retailers are likely to suffer a similar fate.

Twitter is a popular way for millions of people to connect online. It is also a popular way for attackers to spread malicious content.

Another day, another breach, and this time a repeat victim. Grocery store chain operator Supervalu said it discovered a second point-of-sale cyberattack during the investigation into the one it announced last month.

Delivering a lethal dose of insulin, remotely stopping a pacemaker or even administering a deadly shock through a defibrillator are all real possibilities in the world of medical cybercrime, NBC 5 Investigates has found.

From Thursday on, several security firms reported a drastic uptick in the number of attacks that leverage the recently disclosed vulnerability in GNU Bash (CVE-2014-6271), widely known as Shellshock.

The new vulnerability in the Bash shell is the worst we've seen in many years. No software on critical systems can be assumed as safe.

Attacks against the Bash bug increase in volume and variety, with an emphasis on information gathering and botnet building.

As organizations work on a fix for the Bash system software flaw, security experts warn the response to this vulnerability is far from over.

Microsoft's folding its Trustworthy Computing group into two other groups, along with related staff cuts, raise questions among security professionals.

Distributed-denial-of-service attacks that target the Bash flaws known as Shellshock have spiked in recent days.

The latest Internet security bug could allow attackers to take control of millions of computers and devices and reverberate for years.

The Bash software bug, which could affect more than half of all web servers, is being called the most serious cybersecurity threat every by some security experts.

The recently discovered Shellshock - or Bash - vulnerability is being actively targeted bymalware gangs, who appear to have already claimed more than 700 victims.

A day after the Department of Homeland Security advised Internet users and corporations about a newly discovered software bug that could affect hundreds of millions of systems, hackers had already begun exploiting the bug and companies were rushing to fix the issue for their users.

A programming flaw dubbed the “Bash Bug,” or more ominously “Shellshock,” is being described as potential threat to millions of computers, servers, medical devices, power plants and municipal water systems and even common objects such as refrigerators and cameras.

Here are some common questions and answers about the latest security scare.

CGI-based web servers are the biggest target, but other web servers, hosting services, embedded systems, Mac OSX, and IoT endpoints are all at risk

Trend Micro includes a number of suite-level extras in its entry-level antivirus, leaving me to wonder what I'd find in the full-scale security suite.

Researchers are warning that the Nuclear exploit kit has evolved, a change evident by the rising number of software products targeted by the crimeware kit, which now takes aim at vulnerable versions of Microsoft Silverlight to spread malware.
