Researchers Build Undetectable Dopant Hardware Trojans

Is it so outlandish anymore to consider that an attacker interested in military, political or corporate espionage would be able to infiltrate a supply chain and drop malware onto an integrated circuit? Evidence of hardware-based Trojans is anecdotal at best, and experts believe a change in...

Decision in Street View WiFi Case Could Hinder Some Security Research

The decision by the Ninth Circuit Court last week to allow the class-action suit against Google over its collection of WiFi data to continue was welcomed as good news by privacy advocates, but it may have considerable consequences for security researchers who collect such data during legitimate...

Long range RFID hacking tool to be released at Black Hat
