This Week’s Security Notes

Filed under: (In)Security — Kevin Feasel @ 5:45 pm
Not too much for this round, though I’ll have a few more links later this week.
  • I ignore Google ads in their search results.  Looks like there’s good reason to.
  • Yet Another Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability.
  • Social engineering on the rise.  People are the weak link in most organizations, and if you are going to target a specific organization, you’re going to target the people who have access to what you want.  If you’re just out to get control of some machine somewhere, or just looking around for things to do, social engineering doesn’t play as strong a role.  But those typically aren’t the threats we really need to focus on; focus on taking care of the tough cookies and the kiddies will be sorted out automatically.  Any time I read about social engineering, I go back to the site.
