Innovating innovation


NATICK, Mass.–"The pace of innovation in industry is just mind-boggling."
So says Arun Mulpur, industry marketing manager with Mathworks here, and he's in a position to know. Mathworks software tools (Matlab and Simulink) are used to try to manage and, in some cases, accelerate that innovation.
Often, a phrase, such as the "pace of innovation is quickening" and so on, becomes a tired marketing crutch that is used to bolster the classic FUD factor in pitching "the" solution to whatever problem a company has.

Carberp Malware a Dangerous New Threat to Financial Information


Carberp, not a pretty name but a fitting one for an ugly little piece of malware, is now popping up dangerously in computers around the world. This week it attacked Facebook users in Europe and was discovered on a French ISP service provider Free’s Web site.
While inheriting some of its DNA from malware programs such as Zeus, another Trojan Horse that counted logging keystrokes among its many ploys to capture data, Carberp is far more sophisticated, according to experts.

Virus infects worm by mistake

New malware morphs into different shapes unattended by humans
Ten years ago, there was a clear-cut distinction between Trojans, viruses and worms. They all had their own features specific to one family of malware only. As more people connected to the internet, cyber-criminals started mixing ingredients to maximize impact. And here I’m thinking Trojans with worm capabilities or viruses withTrojan features, and so on.
