For the past week Ive been in Freemont California (outside San Jose) with the InteropNet Team getting the network back up after Vegas so that its ready for New York.

2008-04-25 08:01:21 by HASH0x8b5cdb4 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
Just a quick note on some recent events I will be attending. I am really psyched to be moderating a panel on NAC (does that mean I can give all of the panel a hard time?) at the IT Hot Topics Conference 2008 at Grandover Resorts & Conference Center, in Greensboro, NC.

Why Is ISO2700x Hot in UK, but Not in US?

I've written about the "War on the Unexpected," and how normal people can't tell the difference: All they know is that something makes them uneasy, usually based on fear, media hype, or just something being different If you ask amateurs to act as front-line security personnel, you shouldn't be surprised when you get amateur security Yesterday...

A black SEO farm with built-in redirection to a multitude of sites serving rogue codecs (Zlob malware variants) and fake security software phoning back to UkrTeleGroup Ltd's network - could it get even more interesting? Of course, as the current state of Zlob malware serving tactics can be seperated in two distinct groups, those abusing the...

2008-07-14 03:26:24 by Dancho Danchev in Dancho Danchev's Blog - Mind Streams of Information Security Knowledge
Despite that pure patriotic hacktivism is still alive and kicking, compromised sites are largely getting monetized these days, starting from hosting blackhat SEO junk pages, to redirecting to live exploit URLs and fake codecs where revenue is earned through their participation in an affiliate business model With The Africa Middle Market Fund's...
