This is pretty interesting Vince to see Cisco getting way ahead in detecting fraudulent encrypted packets. However I agree to you that the percentage stated might be too high for today. it is important to ask what percentage of that 55% is applicable across industries of all kinds and at what quality level of data. Does the encryption to huge…[Read more]

I think this issue calls for a serious debate on the future of social media channels who collect user information. There is absolutely no transparency on why this data is used and where else it is sold to. With the recent Facebook breach, it is evident how data was misused. Post facto analysis of the issue does solve the data collection that was…[Read more]

That sounds as if Microsoft has not done enough of many frontline products. First it was the messenger issue, then the window meltdown patch issue, and now the windows remote assistance. I wonder if organization are even protected in the case when the patch does has not been released and are informed beforehand. This is a strict case of…[Read more]

That’s a pretty interesting solution to problems of email threat Fraser. This would actually make the process of digital forensic much easier as they will be able to track IP and org. from where the emails came.

This is truly alarming to me as AMD captures almost 20% to 30% market share in the processor industry. Intel has been quite fast in picking up the new threats and releasing the patches before any serious business lapse occurs. If hijackers are able to gain access to Windows Credential Guard, TPMs, and virtualization, it would technically bring the…[Read more]

I think this is great news Sev. The vulnerability broke many security boundaries in the hardware systems and gave access to systems. While Intel has focused largely on the Hardware, Oracle too has released its new DB against Spectre and Meltdown attacks.

Joseph,
I agree with you that the network system was poorly handled. What is even more surprising is that Newtek played unethically here by informing the customers about a domain changing activity when the actual problem was something else. The smartest way would have been to inform the customers right away so that they could have taken the…[Read more]
