Verisign is kicking MD5 to the curb after researchers demonstrated the flawed algorithm allows hackers to duplicate an SSL certficate and steal information from users.

Researchers from the INRIA institute in France have devised several attacks which prove that the continued support for MD5 in cryptographic protocols is much more dangerous than previously believed.

Microsoft has given customers six months to find MD5 installations and prepare for a February 2014 patch that will block the broken algorithm.

Microsoft released two optional security updates Tuesday to block digital certificates that use the MD5 hashing algorithm and to improve the network-level authentication for the Remote Desktop ...

A hash rate is the measure of the computational power in a proof-of-work cryptocurrency miner, pool, or network. High hash rates equal better odds of winning.

Over a quarter of all the major content management systems (CMSs) use the old and outdated MD5 hashing scheme as the default for securing and storing user passwords.
