Researchers launched a Proof-of-Concept attack on two Android mobile phones and an embedded system board.

In testing, an Internet of Things (IoT) botnet of large, power-consuming appliances was used to carry out coordinated attacks on the energy grid.

Researchers find six previously unknown memory corruption and unlock-bypass vulnerabilities in major chipset vendors’ firmware code.

Researchers who identified a real-time way to detect credential spearphishing attacks in enterprise settings won $100,000 from Facebook last week.

Eight out of 10 Android devices are affected by a critical Linux vulnerability disclosed last week that allows attackers to identify hosts communicating over the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and either terminate connections or attack traffic. The flaw has been present in the TCP implementation in Linux systems since 2012 (version 3.6 of the kernel),...

A serious vulnerability in the TCP implementation in Linux systems deployed since 2012 (version 3.6 of the Linux kernel) can be used by attackers to identify hosts communicating over the protocol and ultimately attack that traffic. Researchers from the University of California, Riverside and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory are expected today at the USENIX...
