The Big Data Challenge/Opportunity: What it Means for Security

Take a look around and watch the people walking down the street, lost in their smart phones, listening to music, talking on the go, checking email.

Not to mention countless Facebook messages, LinkedIn posts, tweets, WhatsApp and BBM messages.

Panasonic products make TV Cookery Show a piece of cake

‘What’s Cooking?’ is the new Channel 4 daytime cookery show backed by a major UK high street supermarket chain and produced by Superhero TV of Predictable Media. Ben Shephard and Lisa Faulkner presented the show with celebrity guests and well-known chefs competing against each other to cook up recipes as viewers interact and ask questions via Twitter and Facebook. The show is broadcast live from a temporary studio in the car-park of a premium supermarket store in Becton, East London. Cameras within the studio follow the preparation of the food while others are used by mobile camera operators shadow the presenters along the supermarket aisles as the competing teams collect ingredients. The technical integration and installation of the program was undertaken by 110 Productions; a technical services and solutions provider for independent broadcast and television productions, with the assistance of 3D Broadcast.

Hackers, mindless as ever, embark on ferocious war against targeted banks and broadcasters in South Korea

LONDON, UK: The AhnLab Security Emergency Response Center (ASEC) and US headquarters of South Korea-based AhnLab today confirmed a large series of cyber attacks that targeted banks and broadcasters in South Korea. AhnLab said that attackers used stolen user IDs and passwords to launch some of the attacks. The credentials were used to gain access to individual patch management systems located on the affected networks. Once the attackers had access to the patch management system they used it to distribute the malware much like the system distributes new software and software updates. Contrary to early reports, no security hole in any AhnLab server or product was used by the attackers to deliver the malicious code.
