Researchers from Columbia University have demonstrated a security flaw found in, but perhaps not limited to, HP printers which can actually lead to fires. The exploit allows hackers to reprogram printers with custom firmware, giving the attacker full control of printer functions. As a result, the hacker can continually heat a laser printer's fuser until paper begins to burn, MSNBC reports. |

The Anonymous hacking collective's AntiSec group has launched a fresh assault on law enforcement agencies with the release of what they claim are personal emails stolen from a Californian cybercrime investigator.
The cache of emails – which according to AntiSec are from the account of Fred Baclagan, a retired special agent supervisor of the Californian Department of Justice – includes 30,000 emails detailing various computer forensic techniques and cybercrime investigation protocols.
The hacktivists claim to have hacked into Baclagan's Gmail account and to have accessed his voicemails and SMS message logs using unspecified techniques as part of their ongoing campaign against law enforcement officials and their "allies" in the computer security industry.

If your IPv6 strategy is to delay implementation as long as you can, you still must address IPv6 security concerns right now. If you plan to deploy IPv6 in a dual-stack configuration with IPv4, you're still not off the hook when it comes to security. And if you think you can simply turn off IPv6, that's not going to fly either. |

The cybersecurity world is awash in oceans of porn, blown water pumps and civil liberties rhetoric. Facebook was slammed with an attack recently that left some users reaching for a bottle of eye bleach, while hackers elsewhere apparently were able to temporarily control parts of a small public utility. Meanwhile, the DoJ sought new powers that could impact you if you ever use an assumed name anywhere online. |

The cyberwar discussion is mired in confusion. What defines an act of cyberwar? Is it a sophisticated hack from China or Russia that shuts down the U.S. power grid? Is it a rogue group like Anonymous breaking into government sites? Is it all the spying China has been doing for several years now? |
