Stories

  • Facebook Makes it possible for Apps to entry Individual Information - This is not a very good transfer by Facebook. Although you have to give an software permission to entry this details, I'm specific the "shady" application builders will locate a way to get your telephone range. The payoff is just also high, SMS Spam and telephone scams can make the attackers too much income.
  • Dancho Danchev Goes Missing - This is a strange tale, protection blogger and self-investigator of cyber criminal activity has been missing. Seems that the Bulgarian Govt has bugged his apartment, and he's been lacking because August 2010. There is a whole lot of area for speculation, but a single point that scares me is the stakes bordering cyber crime.

  • Ought to examine Stuxnet article - I like the Hollywood motion picture plot stuff: The laptop or computer system also secretly recorded what regular operations at the nuclear plant appeared like, then played those readings back again to plant operators, like a pre-recorded safety tape in a bank heist. A great write-up from Wired also covered some modern Stuxnet information.
