This week the US Department of Health and Human Services levied the first fines under the HIPAA act. Now that they have proven they mean business, other health care organizations need to be sure they have the proper protections in place. Read more…EMET Lends a Hand
Updated: 2011-02-25 03:22:09I didn’t think Microsoft’s Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) made much of a splash when it arrived. I vaguely remember hearing about it, and only decided to check it out when I saw a tweet about it. The basic idea is that it acts as an extra layer of protection against the current generation of [...]Factoring Pentest/Scan Results into Formal Risk Analysis
Updated: 2011-02-22 20:16:28
News flash: Those so-called “risk” labels/ratings included in pentest and vuln scan reports are NOT actually “risk” representations. I was in attendance at the OWASP Summit 2011 a couple weeks back, and the topic of “risk metrics” and labels came up during one session.

Greetings from the 2011 RSA Conference in rainy San Francisco, CA. Yesterday I attended the opening keynotes of the conference, and a certain statement by RSA’s Art Coviello caught my ear and needs some further discussion. The conference opened with a fantastic video called “Giants Among Us” which provided a brief chronicle of the rise [...]Compromises and Security

Updated: 2011-02-12 00:51:57The buzz around smartphone and tablet app hacking has started to increase even more since the beginning of the year. But also making some waves in recent weeks has been the application of existing technology to allow vehicles to communicate. Automobile companies have been in the news lately concerning the Vehicle-To-Vehicle (V2V) communication system. This [...]Two-Factor Authentication Goes Mainstream
Updated: 2011-02-10 17:37:33Stop and think about what an attacker could do if they gained control of your e-mail account. Many web sites let you reset your password via an e-mailed link. Poorly designed services may even send a copy of the password to your inbox. Much of your personal information is likely reflected in conversations you’ve had [...]Identity Theft Without Even Trying
Updated: 2011-02-09 18:59:49Last week, we received a fax at the office from a branch of Virginia Commerce Bank. It was addressed to “Katie” and had our fax number clearly written on the cover sheet.

Updated: 2011-02-08 22:27:12You know those Facebook applications that occasionally pop up on your news feed, promising to add a “dislike” button, let you view who’s been looking at your profile, or implement some other feature that Facebook won’t ever support? A lot of these applications are not much more than thinly disguised malware designed to harvest personal [...]Armitage: Fast and Easy Metasploit Hacking
