The Shadow Brokers Saturday posted a rant to voice their discontent over the lack of bids for the stolen goods.

The malware spreads by continuously scanning the web for vulnerable devices using default or hard-coded usernames and passwords.

A recently discovered ransomware program known as Polyglot tries very hard to imitate the menacing cryptor CTB-Locker, but ultimately falls short in its encryption strength and can be defeated, according to Kaspersky Lab.

DressCode malware spotted in thousands of apps and could pose a serious threat to enterprise networks.

Security researchers discovered a series of attacks that use written text on answers forums and other legitimate web sites to launch command and control instructions in order to implant malware and evade detection.

Sucuri researcher Daniel Cid found that it only took an attacker 12 minutes to compromise an IPv4 server, and shortly after launch DDoS attacks.

A Trojan named Linux.Mirai has been found to be carrying out DDoS attacks.

Those victims targeted over the past year by the ransomware as a service named Encryptor RaaS may be at a loss to ever recover their encrypted files.
