What Happens When You Mix A Real Infection With A Mass Mail Hoax?

2008-06-23 17:51:03 by Christopher Boyd in SpywareGuide Greynets Blog
 
Here's a strange one. Snopes has always been a website that helped to combat mass mail hoaxes. However, I've seen a few mails snowballing (with ever increasing CC lists) regarding a page on Snopes that talks about a real infection - namely, the Storm Worm . I'm all for spreading the word on infections going around, but as the emails talk about a...

Providing real security to customers

2007-02-17 07:49:58 by RaviC in Musings on Information Security
 
I see two distinctions in the realm of security: security and illusion of security. An example for illusion of security is: you are asked to fill out forms that claim to protect your PII (Personally Identifiable Information), this gives an illusion that your PII is being protected, whether it is actually being protected is a moot point 1.

2008-03-19 00:00:00 by HASH0x847394c in Network World on Security

Who's the real dummy?

2008-03-28 12:00:10 by Editor in Adventures in Security
 
So who's the real criminal in this story? The person responsible for securing the school's computers. If a 15 year-old kid armed with only a Dummies book can crack into sensitive information, someone isn't doing their job
