Zombie worms found in whale fossil - Telegraph.co.uk

Nicholas Higgs, the project's lead scientist, searched through bones from the 19th century before bringing a promising specimen back to London and putting it under a micro-CT scanner.

He said: "Fossils of worms are really rare. We don't know a lot about their fossil record because they're soft animals," he said.

"But, because these particular worms leave characteristic borings, we can trace them."

Unusually, Osedax worms do not have a mouth or intestine but they infiltrate bones with fleshy root tissues to extract food.

They are also known by the colourful name of "bone-eating snot flowers".

The findings are published in the journal Historical Biology.

Cyber Attacks Reach 'Disturbing' Level in Britain - Voice of America (blog)

The director of Britain's Government Communications Headquarters says government and industry are facing cyberattacks on a daily basis.

Iain Lobban says cyberattacks have reached a "disturbing" level and could pose a threat to Britain's economic well-being. The attacks range from significant attempts to steal information from security contractors to using the Internet databases to steal identities and have included Britain's Foreign Office.

Prime Minister David Cameron's special representative on cyber security, Pauline-Neville Jones, says China and Russia are some of the main culprits in cyberattacks.

Britain is hosting a major international conference on the management of cyberspace beginning Tuesday. The two-day conference will include U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and senior representatives from China, Russia, India and other countries, as well as leading industry officials.

Foreign Secretary William Hague convened the conference, saying he believes more international cooperation is important to tackle cyber issues, but he does not expect the conference will produce a consensus on what should be done.
