"Operation Clandestine Fox" is being used to attack PCs.

Hackers have attacked the government agencies, defense contractors, energy companies and banks by exploiting the software flaw in Internet Explorer. That's according to FireEye ( FEYE ) , the cybersecurity firm that revealed the software flaw last week. The company discovered that hackers took advantage of a bug in the Internet Explorer Web browser to secretly take control of computers. The cyber offensive has been dubbed "Operation Clandestine Fox," and affects all versions of Microsoft's ( MSFT , Fortune 500) Web browser. Microsoft has issued a fix, but FireEye's announcement on Thursday showed there are already victims. FireEye also spotted that hackers are now specifically targeting older computers running on the outdated Windows XP operating system and those using the Internet Explorer 8 version of the browser. Among those still using Windows XP are the Defense Department, the IRS, and bank ATMs. That's a problem, because Mi

ET Cyber Monday Deals: Lenovo UHD gaming laptop $1200, XPS 8700 with 750Ti $1000, Chromebox $130, more

Cyber Monday is here, and along with it some of the best deals for online shoppers this year. We’ve collected some of the best ones out there for you today, so sit back and enjoy the savings – but don’t sit too far back, because many of these deals will end tonight (and you’ll want to be on your toes, of course). Lenovo Y50 15.6-inch UHD 3840×2160 Core i7 laptop with GTX 860M for $1199.99 (normally $1499.99 – use coupon code BFRIDAY56 ) Fully equipped with a Core i7-4710HQ processor and 2GB Nvidia GTX 860M graphics card, this rig would have fit right in with our gamers deals from yesterday. One thing it’s got that none of those laptops had, however, is a crisp UHD 3840×2160 resolution display, providing you with exceptional pixel density. It also includes 8GB RAM for solid multitasking and a 1TB hybrid hard drive with an 8GB SSD cache for ample storage and speedy boot and resume times. With a backlit keyboard, dual-band WiFi, USB 3.0 ports and JBL sound, this is a

Twitter rolling out new Web design

Twitter users will be seeing a new look on their desktops and laptops soon, one that will look familiar if they also use the app on their smartphones. In a post Monday afternoon , Twitter announced "a refreshed twitter.com reflecting the look & feel of our iOS & Android apps." The look won't be a change for some users. Twitter has been testing out the new design on about 1% of people who use the site, studying their habits and making tweaks before rolling it out to everyone. The main change, other than aesthetics, is a built-in "compose" box in the left rail of the Web page. The new location eliminates the old pop-up style compose box and appears to be a way for Twitter to encourage more users to actually tweet instead of just browse. Twitter has said in the past that as many as 40% of its users are "lurkers," folks who read what others post but don't share anything themselves. Users also will see their profile and

How To Build A Botnet

The mission is clear: infiltrate the target corporate network in order to obtain corporate data and perhaps even some intellectual property along the way. Tools on hand? Just you, a clean Internet-connected machine and 15 minutes of uninterrupted time. With just a little knowledge, that’s plenty of time to get inside a supposedly unbreachable network—just by building your own botnet. What’s A Botnet, Again? Simply put, a botnet is a network of malware-infected computers that are remote-controlled by a command server. Whoever controls the botnet can make those zombie computers do bad stuff—launching distributed denial-of-service attacks is one favorite pastime—or just exploit them to harvest passwords and to access other private information within, say, a corporate network. Botnets have been overshadowed recently by criminal phishing expeditions, nation-state hacks and zero-day attacks , but they represent a type of threat no one should dismiss lightly. Botnet zombi
