Security center issues anti-hacker tool
THE CENTER FOR Internet Security (CISecurity) has released a free tool to help plug vulnerabilities that the FBI last week warned were being exploited by Russian and Ukrainian hackers.
CISecurity, founded in October, released PatchWork, a software tool that automates the process of finding the vulnerabilities and identifying needed patches. Its purpose is to assist companies that have not secured their systems and to do so quickly, the center said in a release Saturday. The tool can be downloaded from the CISecurity Web site.
