Security Firm Trend Micro a Victim of Latest iFrame Attacks
By Michael Santo
Editor-in-Chief, RealTechNews
Nothing is so humorous as when the web site of a security vendor gets hacked. OK, OK, it was hilarious when the RIAA site was hacked, too. And I’ll admit: it’s probably not as funny if it’s your security vendor.
Earlier this week a massive attack on websites via iFrame was [...]

By Michael Santo
Executive Editor, RealTechNews
You may recall I wrote earlier about the troubles people were having with the prequisite updates that Microsoft said were required in order to get Windows Vista SP1 in March. In a “mea culpa” moment, Microsoft has stopped distribution of the update that seems to be at the heart of [...]

By Jimmy Daniels of The Grid Live
Contributing Writer, RealTechNews
I just finished reading this article from Reuters that talked about U2’s manager taking ISP’s to task for not ending illegal music downloads and protecting the musicians, i.e., his cash cow. He goes on to say that the government helped the ISP’s create a “thieves’ charter” and [...]

RIAA Website Wiped Clean by Hackers
By Michael Santo
Executive Editor, RealTechNews
It’s a weekend, and a holiday weekend to boot, so the site might stay this way for some time. Someone apparently used SQL injection to wipe, and we do mean wipe, the website of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) clean of content. (In case they’ve fixed the [...]

Antivirus Program Labels Windows Explorer a Virus
By Michael Santo
Executive Editor, RealTechNews
Linux users might actually agree with this “false positive”. On the other hand Microsoft breathes a sigh of relief, as for once the antivirus software in question is not Windows Live OneCare.
Kaspersky Labs, a smallish but well-respected (in fact, many believe it to be the most effective AV solution) [...]

By Michael Santo
Executive Editor, RealTechNews

By Michael Santo
Executive Editor, RealTechNews
The Child Benefit is a payment made British families with children under 16. It’s sort of like a tax rebate. Unfortunately for anyone receiving the Child Benefit, the government has managed to lose the data for all families receiving it, putting their addresses, personal info, and banking info [...]
