Hackers Looking Hard For Anti-virus Software Vulnerabilities
Gregg Keizer writes in TechWeb News:
A pair of researchers will outline at the Black Hat security conference how they were able to spot vulnerabilities in several anti-virus software packages earlier this year, and why hackers are interested in digging up dirt on enterprise defensive software.
"Our goal is pretty simple," said Neel Mehta, the team lead for Atlanta-based Internet Security Systems' (ISS) X-Force research group, and one of the two who will talk at Black Hat Wednesday about their anti-virus vulnerability research. "We want to state the severity of the threat, and point out that just like every other part of the network, security software is not immune from attack."
