Recent Brivium Hacking Case & How You Can Prevent It
Online Security is becoming more and more of an issue today. Hackers and crackers seem to be more and more common. If you're following the admin community as closely as I do, you've probably been aware of the recent issue involving Brivium and their recent hack of The Admin Zone. If you aren't already aware of this, here's the official XenForo announcement. Now, this can be a very scary situation whenever something like this happens.

Internet Security - What You Didn't Know!
This article was first posted on our blog on 28/01/2011. For this reason, the information may be outdated and no longer reliable/correct. We’ve all heard about viruses or been hit by one. It’s never a pleasant experience no matter how big or small it is. That being said, what different kinds of viruses are there, and how can we protect our vital information from being stolen? For several years now, I’ve been a programmer. Be it PHP, C++ or Python, I’ve at least basked in it’s glory; when it comes to malicious code, I’m the expert. There are several types...
