It’s always awesome to share space with the Pete
Check it out: this morning, yours truly shared space with the L1ndst0rm in an article about security in the channel. Always a pleasure to show up next to the Maverick from Malvern.
Read MoreMore (Hopefully) Useful Questions
Last week, Ross Brown posted his Four Questions to Improve Security over on the Technobabylon blog. I highly recommend checking out the post if you haven’t done so already. Now, Ross’ questions were targeted toward vendors to help vendors (i.e. they are questions to help a potential customer improve the security of their environment.) Anyway, so you have it without having to go to...
Read MoreFired for what?
Clearly I’m a fan of blogs… and bloggers for that matter. However, I had to take a step back when I saw the recent article about the CIA Blogger who was recently fired; what she was fired for we don’t really know – she says she was fired because she wrote about torture and the Geneva convention, but the CIA says she was fired because she was blogging instead of doing her...
Read MoreWow. Go Go Gizmodo…
So, I accidentally stumbled across the Gizmodo’s parodies of the “I’m a Mac” commercials this morning and I can’t stop watching it… 100 percent pure hilarity. Check it out, but be careful of 1.3 since it’s not fully work-compliant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA3NyRr4Eng.
Read MoreAwesome Take on the Daily Incite
If you’re not reading it already, I highly recommend reading Mike Rothman’s Daily Incite. Today, he’s got an awesome take on the fluffy “research” Yankee put out yesterday – and trust me, somebody needs to take Yankee to task for it. Anyway, check this out: I love it when analysts tell us what we already know, and then try to spin in into why customers...
Read MoreGreat Post over at Spire
There’s a great post by Pete Lindstrom over at Spire today about Michal Zalewski and his recent disclosure of a zero-day IE vulnerability without notification to Microsoft. Pete takes the “devils advocate” position by saying that Zalewski’s actions are pretty much OK in Pete’s view: Here’s the interesting thing about Zalewski’s approach: if it inspires...
Read More“Boing Boing” Scoops Citi
Citi acknowledged the rumors started by the Boing Boing that ATM cards have been comprimised, that there is a PIN-block in place preventing customers from using thier cards in certain countries, and that new cards were being issued. Silly me, I would have thought that Citi would have made customers aware that their cards were being frozen proir to the “Boing Boing” putting it up...
Read MoreAnother Must-read
Came across the link today to “Contrasts in Presentation Style” at Emergent Chaos. This is a must-read.
Read MoreWant to get blown away?
I came across Geoff Huston’s IPv6 discussion today by way of the Hack the Planet Weblog. Totally a must-read.
Read MoreDouble Props to Emergent Chaos Today
That’s right, two sets of props today for the Emergent Chaos crew: Propz #1 for telling us about the Excel 0day up for bid on eBay – whoever did this has an axe to grind with the various vulnerability franchises and a vein of sarcasm wide enough to criticize in an attention-grabbing way. Note that I happen to disagree with that criticism, but I still can appreciate the manner of...
