    'Lazy hackers' turn to automated attack tools
    Cyberattackers are turning to tools that automate the process of finding and hijacking vulnerable servers, a study has found. The study used a fake server known as a honeypot to log everything done to it by digital intruders. Put online by security firm Cybereason, the server was quickly found and hijacked in seconds by a bot that broke through its digital defenses. The firm said it expected to see more attacks staged with little human help.(BBC)
