Under the new program to address the vulnerabilities, Google has announced the payment of remuneration to $500 for every bug in Chromium. If you find a really dangerous vulnerability, the fee will rise to a round sum of $1337 (generally known passion for Google to round numbers). If you literally read the rules, then the bug must be really dangerous, that is a series of small bugs that lead to potential vulnerabilities are not considered. Bugs operating system, too, are not paid, even if the OS does not close the hole and the patch have to do in the browser.

For me the year was unusually rich in various kinds malvar as a template completely, and really worthwhile that wrenched me out of the usual cycle of events. In any case, it's time to take stock of "work" virus in 2009 and make projections for the future. To begin, as usual, with the unpleasant: the myth of the invincibility of computers from Apple, and, respectively, and their operating system (for individuals who spent the past ten years in a bomb shelter, do remark - an OS for Macintosh computers called MacOS) shattered.

Sami attack, I'll say straight, does not represent anything interesting - Unix architecture is conservative, and, if desired, players can browse the Internet, you can easily rewrite t...

This can not be denied. This is Windows Defender and UAC and BitLocker, etc. However, Microsoft launched the market such a variety of versions of the same OS.

But home users stubbornly refuse to Windows Vista in favor of the more secure Windows XP, corporate - not in a hurry to move to Vista. Why? Is the problem? In the reasonable expectations of "iron"? Yes like no. Not so today is ex...
