Technology giant Toshiba, along with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, announced a voluntary recall of its Satellite T135, Satellite T135D and Satellite ProT130 notebooks due to overheating that could cause damage to the notebooks and burn the users.

It is estimated that there are 41,000 of these units worldwide. The commission said consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed, and noted it is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product. The recalled products were sold between August 2009 and August 2010.

Microsoft released an updated version of a tool kit Sept. 2 to help developers make their applications more secure.

With the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit 2, Microsoft said, developers can bring technologies such as dynamic data execution prevention to bear to improve security, particularly for older programs that cannot be recompiled to opt in to the security technologies.

The updated tool kit features a total of six mitigations, including two new ones: Export Address Table Access Filtering and Mandatory Address Space Layout Randomization.

Export Address Table Access Filtering “is designed to break nearly all shellcode in use today” as it “blocks a common technique shellcode uses” to locate Windows APIs, Microsoft said Aug. 5. The Mandatory Address Space Layout Randomization mitigation works by “[forcing] modules to be loaded at randomized addresses for a target process regardless of the flags it was compiled with.”

Cisco Systems on Thursday said it intends to acquire wireless sensor maker Arch Rock, a move that beefs up Cisco’s smart-grid and data center businesses.

San Francisco-based Arch Rock makes a system for collecting information from mesh networks of IP-based wireless sensors, routers, and servers. Its sensors are placed in data centers and buildings to monitor heat and other environmental conditions to optimize cooling and improve the overall energy efficiency.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Privately held Arch Rock is also developing wireless communications for utilities called Phy-Net Grid. The system is designed to use Arch Rock’s radio-based sensors to shuttle information over utilities’ networks back to their data centers. The wireless communications can also be embedded within thermostats and home energy controllers, which Cisco makes.

3Par on Thursday said Hewlett-Packard has raised its offer to $33 a share for the storage company

3Par on Thursday said Hewlett-Packard has raised its offer to $33 a share for the storage company, or $2.4 billion, after Dell countered with a $32 a share offer.

Needless to say, 3Par deemed HP’s bid as superior. HP had bid $30 for 3Par, and Dell countered with $32 a share. Dell also revised a termination fee to $92 billion.

In other words, the 3Par bidding got a bit messy following HP’s offer for $30. Dell had three days to match but was largely quiet.

India added Google and Skype to its electronic security crackdown on Wednesday and began accessing some of the traffic carried on its initial target, Research In Motion‘s BlackBerry.

In the latest salvo of a campaign driven by fear that unmonitored email puts Indian security at risk, Home Secretary G.K. Pillai said notices were being sent to Google and Skype asking them to set up servers in India and allow officials access to web data that militants could misuse.

A Google spokeswoman based in India said the company had not yet received any such government request. “If and when we do, we will review and respond,” she said.

Analysts said a crackdown that includes Google’s email and software services, or internet phone company Skype could end up helping RIM, which was India’s initial target in its efforts to monitor electronic messages.

It could push corporations to think twice before ditching their BlackBerrys.

“It probably makes enterprises realize there’s not much benefit in trying to go elsewhere because the same situation applies to everybody,” said Matthew Robison from Wunderlich Securities.

Other countries, mostly in the Middle East, also fear consumers might use the BlackBerry to aid terrorism or peddle pornography. RIM has insisted it cannot decode the encrypted corporate email that is at the heart of its business.

It’s unclear exactly what BlackBerry traffic India is accessing. But any change could impact the shape of India’s mobile phone market, the world’s fastest-growing, and possibly hand gains to Apple Inc and Nokia, BlackBerry’s two biggest smartphone rivals in India.

Data sent from non-RIM devices are easier to intercept and only require the approval of the carrier, whereas RIM says carriers have no access to its encrypted data.

Microsoft released a ‘Fix-it’ to help administrators deal with dynamic-link library (DLL) loading problems believed to be affecting scores of applications.

The new solution comes roughly a week after Microsoft released a security advisory on the issue. Along with the Fix-it, the company also pledged to address any DLL loading issues present in its own software.

“First, I want to be clear that Microsoft plans to address those of our products affected by this issue in the most appropriate way for customers,” blogged Jerry Bryant, group manager of Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) communications. “This will primarily be in the form of security updates or defense-in-depth updates. Also, due to the fact that customers need to click through a series of warnings and dialogs to open a malicious file, we rate most of these vulnerabilities as important.”

Though Microsoft has not named any affected applications, security researchers published the names of several programs last week believed to be susceptible to the issue. Among them are Microsoft programs such as Microsoft Word 2007 and Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2010, as well as non-Microsoft programs such as Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Photoshop.

Ever wonder what IT resource is the easiest for hackers to exploit?

Ever wonder what IT resource is the easiest for hackers to exploit? According to a survey of attendees of the annual DEFCON security conference, the answer is misconfigured networks.

The survey was conducted by Tufin Technologies, and polled 101 attendees at DEFCON 18 in July. Seventy-six percent named misconfigured networks as the easiest IT resource to attack.

Fifty-seven percent of those surveyed said network misconfiguration was caused by IT staffers not knowing what to look for when assessing the security posture of the network. Another 18 percent believe misconfigured networks are the result of insufficient time or money for audits, while 14 percent felt compliance audits that fail to capture security best practices are a factor.

The rest do not think security can keep up with the threat landscape.
