What is Anthill? It's a business magazine. What’s it about? It's about innovation, entrepreneurship and rapid business growth. Until Anthill was launched in September 2003, the bulk of existing business titles in Australia were mainly concerned with issues of relevance to small/micro businesses or large corporations (one or the other). Anthill was developed to bridge this gap, appealing to highly innovative and ambitious ‘fast’ growth businesses - SMEs with rapid growth potential and larger companies that realise the value of reinvention to stay ahead. It does not focus on the traditional ‘nuts and bolts’ of business development (although this is a key element of editorial content), but instead it highlights the inspiring thrills, spills, trials and tribulations of business development and rapid commercial growth. Business can and should be fun, right!

Global hacking is no rogue play. Think ‘digital quartermaster’ and ‘cyber arms dealers’

Is there a global arms merchant serving smaller armies of online cyberterrorists? An American company that analysed hacking incidents over a period of several years believes it may have zeroed in on one such “cyberarms dealer” that supplies a “myriad of unrelated global attackers” with hacking tools. FireEye suggests what it has uncovered might be part of a trend it dubs the “industrialisation of hacking.”
