A pocketful of security articles…
CNET has a nice collection of articles today with a security bent:
1) Malware in a Maine-based supermarket chain led to the compromise of 4.2 million credit cards.
2) A million search queries have been “poisoned” by attackers using programming errors to “hijack” keyword searches at top Web sites. The attackers attempt to install malware.
3) A Windows Vista laptop fell to an Adobe Flash vulnerability due to relaxed rules. CNET was quick to point out that a MacBook Air had fallen previously as the result of an undisclosed Safari vulnerability. Good old CNET…
4) And in a related article…Windows XP may get another reprieve (instead of the jail time that some say it truly deserves ).
The good (for you security pros) and the bad (for everyone else) thing about security issues is that they never end.
