| Cisco 64-bit VPN Client is on its way! |
|
 chris writes "Cisco VPN Client 64-bit is on its way!
After many years of anticipation, Cisco has finally got the message and decided to develop a 64-bit version of its popular Cisco VPN Client software!
As most Cisco engineers are aware, the absence of a 64-bit VPN Client produced a lot of problems when it came to connecting remote users (with 64-bit Windows) to the corporate network.
The 32-bit version of Cisco VPN client refuses to install on any 64-bit operating system, leaving the administrator with two options: 1) Install and configure (if possible) the new VPN trend of Web SSL VPNs, where purchasing licenses are necessary, or 2) Use a third party/opensource 64-bit VPN client.
While third-party VPN clients do provide a solution, they seem to fall short of functionality when it comes to connecting to corporate networks with multiple intranets/networks.
Now, thanks to Cisco (and the persisting community), this nightmare is nearly over as a Beta version of the 64-bit Cisco VPN client is already out.
Trials until now, show that even thought the VPN client is in Beta version (5.0.07.0240), it is extremely stable and should be ready for release very soon.
Note: We would like to thank Eleftheriadi Dimitri from Cooper-Industries for his input on this post."

| 'Amazing' worm attack infects 9 million PCs |
|
Chris writes "Calling the scope of the attack "amazing," security researchers at F-Secure Corp. today said that 6.5 million Windows PCs have been infected by the "Downadup" worm in the last four days, and that nearly 9 million have been compromised in just over two weeks.
Early Friday, the Finnish firm revised its estimate of the number of computers that had fallen victim to the worm, and explained how it came to the figure. "The number of Downadup infections [is] skyrocketing," Toni Koivunen, an F-Secure researcher, said in an entry to the company's Security Lab blog. "From an estimated 2.4 million infected machines to over 8.9 million during the last four days. That's just amazing." "

| WPA Wi-Fi encryption is cracked |
|
chris writes "Security researchers say they’ve developed a way to partially crack the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption standard used to protect data on many wireless networks.
The attack, described as the first practical attack on WPA, will be discussed at the PacSec conference in Tokyo next week. There, researcher Erik Tews will show how he was able to crack WPA encryption, in order to read data being sent from a router to a laptop computer. The attack could also be used to send bogus information to a client connected to the router."

| Hackers renew airline-ticket scam spam |
|
chris writes " In a reprise of a summer tactic, hackers are trying to trick people into infecting their PCs with malware by sending them e-mail that poses as bogus airline-ticket invoices and boarding passes, a security company said today.
The spam, which claims to be from Continental Airlines Inc., thanks the recipient for using a new "Buy flight ticket Online" service. It also provides a log-in username and password and says the recipient's credit card has been charged more than $900, according to Trend Micro Inc.'s research."
