By the nature of being mobile, we are no longer confined to our living rooms or bedrooms to play games. EA Games in conjunction with PopCap, the company EA Games paid $1.3billion dollars for, have spent a lot of time understanding where we are when playing these mobile games. And it is an interesting read: #8 – At Social Gatherings 14.7% of us will play our mobile games at social gatherings, well lets be honest it’s better than talking to girls, who obviously have cooties. #7 – While Shopping 15% of us will play our mobile games while out... 

Sun Kailiang On the 1st May 2014 a United States grand jury in Pennsylvania indicted five Chinese military officials on 31 counts of cyber espionage.

The indictment included: conspiring to commit computer fraud; accessing a computer without authorization for the purpose of commercial advantage and private financial gain; damaging computers through the... 

This week has seen the boys and girls at Riot Games put on a world class event with the Season 3 Finals of League of Legends in Los Angeles. The week started at Culver Studios, where European champions Fnatic took on North American seed champions Cloud 9 Kingston HyperX. The Culver Studios location was very intimate and very cool, with only 300 odd people allowed in the event, but because of the size and setup of the studio the atmosphere was brilliant! I much preferred this location to the Galan Center, which was much larger and had a lot less...

CYSEC AV I have been a fan of the CYSEC Cyber Security related videos for a while, visiting their website on and off for the last couple of years. In 2011 they released a Free Anti-Virus, which being version one of the product I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t, at the time, the best free AV on the market, it still needed some work. But over the last 24 months they have completed a number of updates and the product is GREAT! We tested it against AVAST and AVG which are another two free AV products to see... 

An interesting screen capture turned up on Reddit. Twitter user Max (@Irqendeiner) asked David Vonderhaar (@DavidVonderhaar), game director of Black Ops II, “There are so many guys who glitched/hacked to master prestige on PS3. Any chance that they are getting reset?” David “Vahn” Vonderhaar, answer was short but sweet “100% Chance”. The Prestige users that hacked their way to the top are typically easy to spot, first of all they are not as good as their title suggests, secondly if you check their combat record, and you see... 

A sophisticated cyberattack designed to access the US natural gas pipelines appears to have been under way for a number of months, the Department of Homeland Security has warned, elevating concerns about the that vital infrastructure could be vulnerable to computer attacks.

ICS-CERT has issued warnings and... 

Imperva have released a whitepaper on the supposed effectiveness of Anti-Virus products. The conclusion? Anti-Virus products are less effective against malware it has not seen previously. Really? You are telling me a signature based product is less effective when it does not have a signature? Wow, revolutionary. Having previously worked for a virus vendor I am well aware of the Anti-Virus solution limitations. The products essentially work by creating a unique hash of any file that has been identified as malicious. The identification of files as... 

Yesterday we reported on the alleged rape of a 16yr old girl from Steubenville High School. KnightSec an offshoot of the hacktivist group Anonymous have declared war on the alleged rapists.

The hacker collective KnightSec initiated an attack, dubbed Operation Roll Red Roll (#OpRollRedRoll), on an Ohio High School Football Team’s fan website after the alleged gang rape of a 16-year-old girl by the team’s players.

KnightSec, a faction of the Internet activists group Anonymous, threaten to release the personal...
