The EU’s new European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) will be inaugurated at Europol in The Hague later today.
The facility will act as the "focal point" in the EU’s fight against cybercrime, against both businesses and private citizens. The centre is designed to provide greater international co-ordination in the fight against online fraud, child abuse and other cybercrimes which can't be effectively tackled by national police forces alone.

Description / Résumé
Une vulnérabilité extrêmement critique a été découverte dans le plugin Java pour votre navigateur. L'exploitation réussie de cette vulnérabilité autorise l'attaquant à prendre le contrôle de la machine victime.
La vulnérabilité a été introduite dans des kits d'exploitation communs, la rendant ainsi très répandue et de ce fait dangereuse. Le simple fait d'aller sur une page infectée peut mettre votre ordinateur en danger. Il est donc important d'éviter de cliquer sur des liens dans les e-mails.
Faites aussi attention aux publicités des sites légitimes qui pourraient être piégées.

LUXEMBOURG - Quelques jours après la divulgation de la fuite de données de 1,5 million d utilisateurs des chemins de fer belges, des milliers de noms au Grand-Duché ont été dévoilés.
«Ce fichier pourrait être utilisé à mauvais escient»
Le fichier, disponible en ligne et indexé par les moteurs de recherche depuis plusieurs semaines, contient ainsi non seulement les noms des clients de la SNCB, mais également les mails privés, les adresses et les identifiants de connexion au site belge. En revanche, les mots de passe n'y figurent pas. Une véritable mine d'informations que plusieurs dizaines d'internautes ont pu sauvegarder avant que le fichier ne soit retiré du site Internet des chemins de fer belges. Un fichier que certains experts, cités par les médias belges, estiment à quatre millions d'euros.
