This was very interesting to find out specifically what factors actually cause vulnerabilities. The reasoning of why this continues to be a problem is also fascinating. I was particularly interested in the issue of code quality, where the author pointed out that developers tend to favor minimal features when creating software and then adding to it…[Read more]

I have used windows pretty much my whole life. It wasn’t a conscious decision, but it’s just what’s always been in my house. In fact, my first real experience with Linux has been in this class. Apart from the OS itself and business/office applications, Microsoft apps (such as Solitaire Collection and other casual gaming ones) aren’t of very high…[Read more]

That is definitely unfortunate for users of the free version if they don’t follow this kind of news. They could potentially go weeks or months without realizing that there is compromised software on their device. Companies should consider implementing some sort of notification system to communicate with all users of their product in the event of…[Read more]

Although this wasn’t necessarily the case, my first instinct looking at this is that it was likely the act of an insider, or was done with the assistance of an insider. This is a great example of why detailed logs and documentation are so important. It will likely be a lengthy and meticulous process, but a detailed investigation of the logs may be…[Read more]

This story got me thinking about the relatively recent rise of the Internet of Things and how these devices are likely to present increased vulnerabilities. In the case of the casino fish tank, the internet-connected device was fairly simple in nature, much like many such devices on the IoT. This simplicity also means there are less protections on…[Read more]

One thing that I found very odd about the story as well is Vevo’s first response (or rather that of an employee) to OurMine’s initial contact informing them about the breach. It seems strange that someone who I would assume is in a position in the IT or security department would be so immediately dismissive of a message notifying them of a breach,…[Read more]

I think blockchain is definitely something that is going to become more and more important as online currencies become more prevalent into the future. It definitely gives the user (us) more control and assurance of our own transactions instead of relying solely on third parties (as explained in the article). You made a good point that it will need…[Read more]

My name is Matt Roberts and I just graduated with a Bachelor’s in MIS from IUP. I have not had previous employment in the field my knowledge in this area is mostly theoretical. My bachelor’s program focused heavily on soft skills such as project management. I decided to get my Master’s to gain more hard skills.
