Submitted by Trailrunner7
Trailrunner7 writes: The main site for the PHP-Nuke content management system software has been compromised and is serving malicious iFrame exploits to visitors. Researchers at Websense found that the phpnuke.org site is currently serving several different exploits. The attack uses the common iFrame-redirection technique to hijack users' browsers and send them off to a malicious site. The code on that site is highly obfuscated and contains exploits for three separate vulnerabilities, two in Internet Explorer and one in Adobe Reader.

Posted by CmdrTaco from the that's-one-big-twinkie dept.
Spectrummag writes "One of the most secretive US Air Force spaceflights in decades, launched this month, is keeping aficionados guessing as to the nature of the secret. The 6000-kilogram, 8-meter X-37B, nicknamed the flying Twinkie because of its stubby-winged shape, is supposed to orbit Earth for several weeks, maneuver in orbit, then glide home. What's it for? Space expert James Oberg tracks the possibilities."

Intel Shows Off First Light Peak Laptop 271

Posted by CmdrTaco from the more-bits-please dept.
Barence writes "Intel has provided the first hands-on demonstration of a laptop running its Light Peak technology — an optical interconnect that can transfer data at 10Gbit/sec in both directions — at the company's inaugural European research showcase here in Brussels. Intel has fitted Light Peak into a regular USB cable, with optical fibres running alongside the electrical cabling. Intel provided a visual demonstration of how data is passed through the cable by shining a torch into one end of the cable, with two little dots of light visible to the naked eye at the other end. The demonstration laptop was sending two separate HD video streams to a nearby television screen without any visible lag. The laptop includes a 12mm square chip that converts the optical light into electrical data that the computer understands."
