Virus Bulletin started in 1989 as a magazine dedicated to providing PC users with a regular source of intelligence about computer viruses, their prevention, detection and removal, and how to recover programs and data following an attack.
Virus Bulletin quickly became the leading specialist publication in the field of viruses and related malware.
Editorial independence has always been VB's prime concern. From the very first issue, VB has cut through the hype and remained uninfluenced by vendors' sales pitches and marketing babble. The aim of the magazine is to arm users with all the information they need to stay current with the latest developments in the anti-malware field. VB2008 - Ottawa Conference
VB2008 will take place 1-3 October 2008 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. |
| SPAMfighter Warns E-Mail Users over Political Phishing and Malware Threats
More Money is Being Raised Online Than Ever before in the 2008 Race for the White House, Inspiring Threats of Potential Political Phishing Attacks.
BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The award winning spam filter, SPAMfighter, is warning e-mail users against the threat of political phishing and malware in political spam mails. With the interest in the upcoming election and more money being raised online for political campaigns, the risk of scams and phishing has grown.
“As a US Citizen and during the 2008 presidential election, be on the alert of how criminals perform e-mail fraud by pretending to be a real entity. They steal very personal and sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, credit card details and even Social Security Numbers. Before you know it, your identity was stolen and you were a victim of an e-mail and phishing attack,” comments Alix Aranza, Managing Director of SPAMfighter North America. | CyberDefender Early Alert Center analyzes threats and calculates the risk levels of suspicious files and processes that may contain harmful spyware and viruses.

Most of the schemes that use the Director’s name or refer to the FBI are lottery endorsements and inheritance notifications. They also include threat and extortion e-mails, website monitoring containing malicious computer program attachments (malware), and online auction scams. | Media Alert: Check Point Cautions Consumers Against Online Dangers Associated With Electronic Tax Filing | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
