Antivirus holes, browser spies are highlights at Microsoft's BlueHat hacker sessions
The ease with which holes in antivirus software can be discovered and the insidiousness of invisible scripts that can track your Web surfing were two of the notable talks at the BlueHat hacker sessions Microsoft held Friday on its Redmond, Wash., campus, according to a veteran attendee.
The invitation-only event, held every six months for the past three years, brings top security researchers to the home of the biggest software company in the world where they discuss the latest and greatest exploits and issues in the world of computer security.
"You actually have 'the developer' who does something who shows up to hear from 'the attacker' who is breaking it. And that's pretty cool," Dan Kaminsky of security firm IOActive said in a phone interview.
