The laptop, installed on board a “Kuang Hua No. 6″ class guided-missile vessel, disappeared late last month while the vessel was anchored at the southern port of [...]
Thwarting the cleverest computer attackers
In the last 10 years, cryptography researchers have demonstrated that even the most secure-seeming computer is shockingly vulnerable to attack. The time it takes a computer to store data in memory, fluctuations in its power consumption and even the noises it emits can betray information to a savvy assailant. Attacks that use such indirect sources [...]
Mitsubishi Heavy targeted by over 50 computer viruses
Japanese defense contractor Mitsubishi Heavy has been hit by over 50 separate computer viruses in a series of cyber attacks so far this year, a report said Monday. One of the infected computers contracted 28 types of virus, including ones that could have been prevented with existing anti-virus software, the Yomiuri Shimbun said, amid concerns [...]

Hardware Encryption For New Computer Memory Technology
Security concerns are one of the key obstacles to the adoption of new non-volatile main memory (NVMM) technology in next-generation computers, which would improve computer start times and boost memory capacity. But now researchers from North Carolina State University have developed new encryption hardware for use with NVMM to protect personal information and other data. [...]
US military computer networks vulnerable: general
The US military has made huge strides in hardening its computer networks against cyberattack but more remains to be done, the Pentagon’s top cyberwarrior said Wednesday. “I would give us today probably a ‘C,’ going up,” General Keith Alexander said when asked during a House Armed Services Committee hearing to grade the ability of the [...]
Computer security expert says US behind Stuxnet worm
A German computer security expert said Thursday he believes the United States and Israel’s Mossad unleashed the malicious Stuxnet worm on Iran’s nuclear program. “My opinion is that the Mossad is involved,” Ralph Langner said while discussing his in-depth Stuxnet analysis at a prestigious TED conference in the Southern California city of Long Beach. “But, [...]
Chinese supercomputer named world’s fastest
BEIJING: China overtook the United States at the head of the world of supercomputing on Sunday when a survey ranked one of its machines the fastest on the planet. Tianhe-1, meaning Milky Way, achieved a computing speed of 2,570 trillion calculations per second, earning it the number one spot in the Top 500 (www.top500.org) survey [...]
Cyber Security: Every user can be a first line of defense online
October is National Cyber Awareness Month. Cyberspace is an important domain and is vital to our way of life. Think about it. In almost everything we do today — whether conducting financial transactions, communicating with our loved ones or even conducting military operations — we depend on cyberspace. This month is dedicated to not only [...]
