BadUSB returns: Hackers publish code that could infect millions of USB devices
2014-10-03 21:03:37| Extremetech
Back in July, we wrote about a massive security hole -- BadUSB -- that potentially gave hackers the ability to hijack or subvert billions of USB devices, from keyboards to printers to thumb drives. At the time, due to the severity of the issue, the researchers who discovered the flaw didn't publish their BadUSB exploit code. Now, however, two other hackers have worked out how to exploit BadUSB -- and they've published their code on Github for all to see.

Hackers exploit critical vulnerability in popular WordPress theme component
2014-09-04 21:15:46| InfoWorld: Top News
Attackers are actively exploiting a critical vulnerability in a WordPress plug-in that's used by a large number of themes, researchers from two security companies warned Wednesday. The vulnerability affects versions 4.1.4 and older of Slider Revolution, a commercial WordPress plug-in for creating mobile-friendly content display sliders. The flaw was fixed in Slider Revolution 4.2 released in February, but some themes -- collections of files or templates that determine the overall look of a site -- still bundle insecure versions of the plug-in.
