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.

The Trend Micro Security 2015 solution, aimed at consumers, is designed to resolve security and privacy issues that continue to affect Internet users.

Watering hole attacks, where saboteurs infect websites of interest to their targets, are a “tried and true attack vector” that bad actors continue to revisit as evidenced by a Sept. 4 attack that put a Fortune 1000 company on alert, security researchers found.

A new ransomware variant called “Troj_Critolock.A.,” which claims to be CryptoLocker, has been detected by researchers.

Federal law protects consumers from the cost of fraudulent charges incurred when thieves steal credit-card and debit-card numbers. That’s good for the millions of Americans who had their payments data exposed by the hackers who breached Home Depot’s (HD) computer system earlier this year. And it’s bad for merchants, who often take losses on sales made to crooks with stolen cards

A code analysis reveals the malware were not from the same family and were probably written by different people

With this year's dramatic uptick in data breaches targeting retailers and restaurant chains and, more specifically, the payment card data they process every day, it's safe to say that, for the moment, cyber crooks feel like they have found the goose that lays golden eggs.

The security of Americans’ financial transactions is in stark focus in Washington this week against a backdrop of a breach-filled summer — including the massive Home Depot POS hack confirmed this week.

When it comes to strong cybersecurity, endpoints and servers have often been second-class citizens when compared to the network.

Apple had a big day yesterday. David Goldman over at CNN even said that “Apple got its mojo back” yesterday.

Mobile-payment system could open a window for criminals

As Home Depot scrambles to determine the scope and scale of a potentially massive breach of its customers' data, the retailer's troubles underscore the challenges facing retailers and card issuers attempting to gird themselves against cybercriminals.

A credit card hack allegedly uncovered at Home Depot reportedly used a variant of the same malware that affected Target customers last year, says security researcher Brian Krebs.

Home Depot has yet to confirm the nature of the "unusual activity" it detected in its payment systems last week, but evidence of malware has been found on "at least some" registers in Home Depot retail stores, sources close to the investigation told independent security reporter Brian Krebs.

An alleged payment cards breach against the American DIY chain Home Depot involved the same malware as that used against the retailer Target, according to sources who spoke to security blogger Brian Krebs.

Celebrity picture hackers planned to exploit users permission negligence over accessing photos.

On Monday, Home Depot issued a public confirmation to reports that they've experienced a data breach impacting debit and credit cards.

New reports suggest that the same malware that struck Target's point-of-sale systems over the holidays was also used to target card data on Home Depot's systems.

Home Depot confirms there was indeed a breach. Presence of BlackPOS hints that the perpetrators could be the same ones who breached Target.

Home Depot admitted today that hackers really did breach the company's payment systems in US and Canadian stores and may have been breaking in since April, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The apparent credit and debit card breach uncovered last week at Home Depot was aided in part by a new variant of the malicious software program that stole card account data from cash registers at Target last December, according to sources close to the investigation.

Trend Micro report finds that the economic and technical barriers to becoming a cybercriminal are much lower today than in the past

The late August news from JPMorgan Chase rocked the world of info security when the huge money center bank reported it had been breached, apparently by hackers who were said to be affiliated with a nation state.
