2008-04-26 21:01:56 by Evan Francen in The Breach Blog
...speculation I like to speculate, so what the heck I'll throw something out there. I'm going to say that full magnetic stripe data was captured during data transmission and that this is not an inside job. I am also going to say that this was not related to the Hannaford breach. I didn't exactly go out on a limb with my speculation, but I did...

Merged Banks' Names Already Cyber-squatted

2008-09-19 10:08:38 by Editor in Cheap Hack
 
...speculation of sales. Earlier this week, as Lehman Brothers was failing and rumors circulated as to who might buy them, the names barclayslehman.com, hsbclehman.com, hsbclehmanbrothers.com and bofalehman.com were all reserved. The buyers are in the Netherlands and New York City, and one domain is registered anonymously. The same phenomenon is...

Who's Selling Front-Running Data?

2008-01-18 11:15:55 by Editor in Cheap Hack
 
...speculation. Personally, I've never seen any hard evidence for where front-runners get their tips. They said "We have enough evidence to back up what we've said." I guess the word "may" can make the statement mean anything, so nobody's lying. But do registries actually and provide data on domain searches to front-runners? I've spoken in the...

Davidson Companies illegal network intrusion exposes clients

2008-02-01 14:51:54 by Evan Francen in The Breach Blog
...speculation is 180 degress off. I suppose this could have been some uber l337 hack that got past multiple layers of defense such as firewalls, hardened servers, IDS/IPS, etc. (supposing they exist), but I can tell you that if this was the case, this is rare. Why go through all the work, when there are more effective means to access the same...

ICANN Moving On With Elimination of Domain Tasting

2008-02-05 06:24:07 by Editor in Cheap Hack
 
...speculation. With the refunds being eliminated they can expect revenues to increase, so increasing the fee would have been greedy. Good thing it's staying the same. And even though they are planning to create new gTLDs, they are expecting the number of registrars to decline? Not sure of the answer on that one

How the MPAA Might Enforce Copyright on the Internet

2008-02-11 13:24:03 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
...speculation from Nicholas Weaver: All that is necessary is that the MPAA or their contractor automatically spiders for torrents. When it finds torrents, it connects to each torrent with manipulated clients. The client would first transfer enough content to verify copyright, and then attempt to map the participants in the Torrent Now the MPAA...

The Fox and the Henhouse

2008-01-28 15:02:17 by Burton Group in Security and Risk Management Strategies Blog
 
...speculation is not likely to be helpful. But the first paragraph of the bank¹s press release deserves comment Societe Generale begins by saying this: "Societe Generale Group (the "Group") has uncovered a fraud, exceptional in its size and nature: one trader, responsible for plain vanilla futures hedging on European equity market indices, had...
