I'm currently working on Sophos's booth at InfoSecurity Europe, and just spotted that we have some new wallpaper on the desktops of our demo workstations. The four different wallpaper designs feature some funky green tentacles, which are also creeping "Maniac Mansion"-style around our stand.
Here are the wallpapers if you fancy downloading them:

The latest "dirty dozen" stats from Sophos, examining the top twelve countries which are relaying spam from compromised computers, show [...]This is cute.
The folks at Flowtown have created this info-graphic detailing a myriad of stats around people's perceptions of spam.

Sophos is attending InfoSecurity Europe in London this week, the UK's largest IT security tradeshow.
Sophos will be raising awareness of security threats, and doing the odd product demo, on our booth smack-dab in the middle (almost) of Earl's Court.

I wasn't able to find mention of the incident on Splunk's website, but a few affected users have Twittered about it, and a Clu-blog reader [...]
Bristol Palin, the daughter of failed Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, has told a US federal judge of the harrassment she received after her mother's personal Yahoo account was hacked.
Former University of Tennessee student David Kernell is charged with breaking into Sarah Palin's Yahoo account in September 2008, and posting her emails, contact addresses, and [...]Have you received an email from Twitter support today? Well, think again. Because it could be that you have just received a message from a spammer trying to lure you into clicking on a link to their online drugstore.
It may look like a message from support@twitter.com, but trust me that email about an [...]
I recently found out about Netsparker through Darknet. They released an update to their community edition (free). The main thing about Netsparker that caught my eye is its fundamental approach at eliminating false positives in its web application scanning. I completely agree with the developers’ approach.
The developers thought that if you need to investigate every [...]
