Download your very own Black Screen of Death
There has been a right royal ruckus over the so-called Black Screen of Death in the last few days. Security firm Prevx kicked things off by warning that "millions" of Windows users could find themselves in front of a black Read more…
Crumbs! A great night at the Computer Weekly Blog awards
I've had a good night's sleep, but I'm still feeling rather incredulous about what happened at last night's Computer Weekly awards in London. Winner: IT Security blog of the year - Graham Cluley's blog, Sophos Winner: Twitter user of the Read more…
Complete our quick survey and win Sophos goodies
Never let it be said that I don't go the extra mile for dedicated readers of the Clu-blog. I have once again braved the Sophos crypt, where we dangle manacled virus writers above shark-infested custard, to find a delightful selection Read more…
Looking for source code for the ikee iPhone worm? Sorry
Are you trying to find the source code for the ikee iPhone worm? It seems a fair few people are, at least judging by the statistics I've seen for my blog today. The raw statistics are apparently a closely guarded Read more…
Crikey! I'm a finalist in the Computer Weekly IT Blog awards
Crumbs! Those awfully nice people at Computer Weekly have been in touch to tell me that I've not only been nominated for two awards, but I've actually made it as a finalist as well! I imagined my @gcluley twitterings and Read more…
Web seminar: Learn about social networking threats
Earlier this year I gave a talk at the RSA Conference in San Francisco all about how cybercriminals are targeting users of social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc. The talk went down very well, even if I do say so Read more…
Geneva, Virus Bulletin and Swiss beauty contests
Vienna was immortalised by Ultravox, Paris has its springtime, and Leonard Cohen took Manhattan (and then Berlin). But I can't think of a single song which celebrates the joys of Geneva, from where I write this blog to you tonight. Read more…
Anti-virus experts head for Geneva
The great and the good (are they mutually exclusive?) of the anti-virus industry are gathering in Geneva this week for the annual Virus Bulletin conference. The VB2009 Conference will pack over 50 talks into its three days as experts from Read more…
How I cheated on Steve Jobs with an Android
I try not to take sides too often on the Clu-blog when it comes to the pluses and minuses of different operating systems. There's enough people already taking pot-shots at each other claiming that one OS is better than another Read more…
Endpoint or computer? A call for plain speaking
I admit it. I've had it up to here with the word "endpoint". It's beloved by the marketing departments from Cupertino to Abingdon and back all the way to Santa Clara, but I don't believe that any of you are Read more…
About fat men and revolving doors
Earlier today I wrote about the denial-of-service attack that hit Twitter hard and hobbled the likes of Facebook and LiveJournal. In that blog post I likened a distributed denial-of-service attack to "15 fat men trying to get through a revolving Read more…
Goodbye Andrijana
It's a sad day at Sophos, because we're saying goodbye to Andrijana. She's been working tirelessly behind the scenes at Sophos for over ten years - first running our web team and then working on top secret projects that I Read more…
YouTube snafu! Erin Andrews video clean-up backfires
On Sunday morning I discovered that hackers were taking advantage of the notorious Erin Andrews peephole video to infect the owners of Apple Macs and Windows PCs. It seemed like a good opportunity to make an educational video about the Read more…
Blox at Bletchley Park
In the late 1980s/early 1990s I was an impoverished student writing computer games for fun and pocket money. A couple of my text adventure games (Jacaranda Jim and Humbug) did pretty well as shareware, and I also wrote some simple Read more…
Ten years at Sophos
I didn't believe them when they told me, but apparently today is the 10th anniversary of me joining Sophos. Sophos wasn't my first job in the computer security industry. In December 1991 I went for an interview at S&S International Read more…
A fresh coat of paint for the Sophos website
The guys in marketing have been busy refreshing the front page of the website, and some other areas of the site. Perhaps the first thing you'll notice is that we have a bunch of videos talking about the various issues Read more…
Helsinki named Klingon-speaking capital of the world
I thought I had probably written all there was to say about Klingon Anti-Virus, but looking at the topic again we've uncovered something really interesting. For a bit of fun, we decided to look at our weblogs to see if Read more…
Klingon Anti-Virus - the facts
A number of people have contacted me today asking why I haven't commented on the numerous news stories (click on each link) about a version of Sophos Anti-Virus available in the Klingon language. (Enjoy this video? You can check out Read more…
Meet Sophos at Infosec in London
A quick hop and a skip and I'm no longer in San Francisco at the RSA show, but at Infosecurity Europe in London instead! Yes, the great and the good of the computer security industry have gathered once again (it Read more…
Classic car rally at Sophos
Yesterday, Sophos's UK office in Abingdon was proud to play host to a classic car rally. Gorgeous weather greeted more than 50 classic cars, including MGs (most of which were actually built in Abingdon between 1929 and 1980) and Morgans Read more…
