Largest flaw in history of web.
A fault in the way the Internet works has incited the biggest security restoration in the history of the web.
The bug which was detected by Dan Kaminsky, a director at the American security specialist IOACtive, has sparked fears that millions of people remain exposed to the hackers who hijacked internet addresses and fooled users into revealing personal details.
The details of the bug which have to not been made public, have lead giant companies such as Microsoft and Cisco Systems to act quickly into managing the dilemma.
Security experts say that even the changes put forward by Microsoft and other large enterprises may not remove all possibilities of a hijack and a failure to update software could mean users are still at risk.
More details will be revealed at a security conference this month.
On our new website there are several new articles regarding security measures you can take to protect your site from hackers and spam.

Control computers with your tongue.
The Tongue Drive System is an invention which allows those with severe spinal cord injuries or neuromuscular diseases to operate a computer or wheelchair with their tongue.
A tiny magnet the size of a grain of rice is implanted under the tongue and utilizes an array of magnetic sensors which lead the movements of the tongue to control the computer.
