Many organizations—especially government agencies or heavily regulated businesses—are nervous about sharing this data, for fear of reprisals if information about successful attacks becomes public. And politicians and security experts say this is an issue that needs to be solved if businesses are going to have the chance to succeed.

Hotels offer not just free WiFi but occasionally even free use of devices such as iPads these days. While it is really nice, a misconfigured device like this may store just a bit too much personal data, easily retrievable by the next visitor…

Cybercriminals actively use online payments to their own advantage, but Kaspersky Lab knows how to outwit them!

Every fifth Android-based device protected by Kaspersky Lab security solutions was attacked by malware at least once in 2013-2014. In 60% of the registered attacks the malware used had a “financial” nature. While there’s seemingly nothing unexpected a certain twist is present…
