This week's edition of Risky Business is brought to you by Check Point Software.

In this week's news segment we take a long, hard, disapproving look at the "Red Hat incident". It seems the software-maker was fairly thoroughly pwned -- the attackers managed to compromise the package signing boxes for both Fedora Core and Red Hat.

Ouch.

We also check in with RaceToZero virus obfuscation contest organiser Simon Howard. Until now the focus has been on the performance of the contest entrants, but how did the actual anti-virus software hold up?
