Cream from cow's milk can protect against HIV

Cream from cow's milk can protect against HIV  MELBOURNE: Cow's milk can be potentially developed into affordable creams that can help protect humans against HIV, a study has claimed. Lead scientist from University of Melbourne Marit Kramski found that when pregnant cows were vaccinated with an HIV protein, the first milk produced by the cow after giving birth, called colostrum, produced high antibodies to protect its newborn against disease. Researchers were now planning to test the effectiveness and safety of the milk before turning it into a cream which will hopefully allow women to protect themselves against contracting the virus during sex, without relying on men.

US Authorities : Iranian Hackers are Becoming a Real Pain

US Authorities : Iranian Hackers are Becoming a Real Pain The U.S. have admitted they believe a series of cyber attacks on domestic banks and some foreign oil companies carried out over the last year are the handy work of a group of hackers linked to the Iranian government. Defence Secretary Leon Panetta said the cyberthreat from Iran has grown, and declared that the Pentagon is prepared to take action if America is threatened by a computer-based assault. The hackers are apparently part of a group of less than 100 computer security specialists from Iranian universities and network security firms, according to an unnamed US government official. American officials have said they are able to discover the source of the recent cyberattacks. We do welcome this and announce our readiness for any international cooperation to find the source of the attacks. The Iranian official said Tehran has already offered help to boost the companies cybersecurity, as Iran has itself rec...

Secure User Authentication: Might Makes Right

Secure User Authentication: Might Makes Right   User authentication is the most basic form of security. The logic behind it is pretty simple - user authentication gives you the ability to prove your identity and allows you to access the information and resources you are entitled to use. If your authentication is weak, it doesn't matter how strong your encryption is, there may as well be no encryption at all. While the benefits of adopting Bring Your Own Device as your mobile policy are appealing -- from increased productivity to lower costs -- a BYOD policy can also leave your corporate network more vulnerable than ever. The breaches regularly featured in the news remind us that all networks, no matter how large or small, risk being exposed to unauthorized users every day. Whether it's one device or multiple devices, companies must put a security policy in place to help prevent these breaches and take action once they do occur. While security plans need to be customized...

Google Ireland and yahoo Domains Hijacked

Google Ireland and yahoo Domains Hijacked Irish websites Google.ie and Yahoo.ie went offline on Tuesday afternoon after their DNS servers were apparently hijacked to point to those of a third party, resulting in visitors being redirected to an 'allegedly fraudulent' address - farahatz.net. That site has now been taken offline, but it is not known whether the site could have been created with malicious intent. A short note on the homepage of the IE Domain Registry said the move followed a "security incident on Tuesday 9th October, involving two high profile .ie domains that has warranted further investigation and some precautionary actions on the part of the IEDR." The IE Domain Registry have requested assistance from the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation. There was an unauthorised access to one registrar’s account [MarkMonitor] which resulted in the change to the DNS nameserver records for the two .ie domains. The IEDR worked with the registrar to ensure...

2 New Slingboxes Give TV Junkies Anytime, Anywhere Fix

2 New Slingboxes Give TV Junkies Anytime, Anywhere Fix For dedicated TV viewers who don't want to sit in a hotel room without their own customized lineup of shows, there's an answer: Slingbox. Two new and improved models let users view their must-see TV whenever and wherever they like -- and on pretty much whatever gadget they choose. There are some drawbacks though, like spending a few hundred dollars for a Slingbox on top of that pricey cable bill. While they actually appeared on store shelves weeks ago, the Slingbox 350 and Slingbox 500 officially launched on Wednesday. These devices are the latest in Sling Media's revolutionary line of set-top boxes that allow users to connect their TV source to the Internet, and enable remote streaming to a computer, tablet or smartphone. The new units will support full HD 1080p video streaming online, but neither device supports an ATSC tuner. The Slingbox isn't meant as a replacement for a cable or satellite box -- ...
