Vulnerability Bazaar

2008-01-07 09:15:52 by Editor in IEEE Security and Privacy

...pure goodness What bothers me about OneCare is that, at least for me, the taskbar icon glows yellow all the time. At first, I'd always go look at the OneCare dashboard to see what was wrong, only to find that OneCare thought my computer needed updates. There's a button there that takes you to Windows Update, so naturally I'd click it to see...

...pure SaaS. But look at the chart to the left, that kind of revenue does not disappear It is natural to root for the underdog and we have been so used Microsoft being unbeatable, that Google appearing as the "great white hope is also natural.

Got advertisement? Maybe you should shout your PCI compliance from the rooftops!

...pure and simple - and from sensitive information such as cardholder data. They are not here for the glory and peer recognition from other hackers, by breaking into a trophy account. In fact, if you advertise the fact you are PCI compliant, I think it will deter them from attacking you - you dont store swipe or card data anywhere (or the data...
