Protecting Business Networks From Drive By Spam Attacks

Cybersecurity

”Drive by” spam attacks are a growing business network security risk, affecting those who open emails containing a malicious script that downloads malware to the user’s PC that ultimately infects the company’s network. These emails don’t always include an attachment. Some HTML-based varieties are reported to be activated with the mere opening of an email and nothing more.

DEF CON – Las Vegas 2011: Plenty of Hype and Substance

Cybersecurity

My first year at the world’s largest hacker convention, DEF CON, resulted in mixed first impressions. I was amazed and overwhelmed with how large the crowds were. This event seemingly grows in popularity each year and the overly-stuffed conference rooms were proof. With that single point aside, I was able to sit-through some valuable lectures across a wide range of security topics.

Black Hat – Las Vegas 2011: Report #3

Cybersecurity

After Cofer’s talk, I settled into the “Next-Gen Web” track, which was smaller than the “threat intel” and “bit flow” tracks that drew big crowds. The first topic was on a new web protocol being developed by Google called SPDY (pronounced “speedy”). While interesting, the talk had little to do with security. The speaker was a young German who is heavily involved in the security sector, but his talk simply explained the protocol. I honestly could have gathered most of what he spoke about by reading the documentation and playing with some examples. I was not terribly impressed.
