  • Review: BSides Athens 2017

    BSides London has been a regular fixture on the Virus Bulletin agenda for the past few years, but its international audience (thanks to the event being held in parallel with InfoSecurity Europe ) makes it a bit of an exception: most BSides events are organized by and for local communities, with only a small number…

  • Calling next-gen security researchers: student discount for VB2017 announced

    Next-gen firewalls, next-gen anti-virus. At Virus Bulletin , we follow the ‘next-gen’ trends with interest, if only because behind the marketing there is often very interesting technology.

  • VB2017 Early Bird discount to expire this week

    “Hundreds of businesses, both large and small, have suffered from the handiwork of the virus writers. It is now clear that a sabotage mentality exists and new computer viruses destroy data and programs – the more extreme examples being programmed to format hard-disks.” Aside from a few technical details, this could have been written today.

Users registered on the Steam platform use their credit cards to buy content, and willingly provide personal information to and exchange items with other network participants. Rather unsurprisingly, this has not gone unnoticed by cybercriminals, and a while…
