What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

"Never wear something on your wrist that's worth more than your arm" is an actual lesson my mother taught me as a child.

Brought to you by the clear plastic baggie industrial complex. On the plus side, it'll help stop leaks from ruining your clothes.

Now You Can Have The Best Of Both Worlds

I don't think Apple could have had a worse security SNAFU right before the unveiling of their mobile wallet than the breach of privacy of over one hundred of their most high profile customers. Will their mobile wallet be vulnerable? It's a computer that runs software, of course it'll be vulnerable, it's just a matter of how much effort people want to put into finding out how to exploit it; and since it's going to have money in it, it's worth a lot more now.

Why So Blasé?

tweeted by Rob Rosenberger

Thanks to Rob Rosenberger for tweeting this meme that raises an interesting question: Why aren't people losing their minds about the NSA the way they are about the iCloud leak? Maybe if the NSA were making everything they collect public it would elicit the same reaction.

For "Performance"

from here

Home users do it for computer performance, and enterprise admins do it for job performance (they don't have the resources to check firewall logs, never mind tending to the more advanced features in an AV suite).

And people wonder why AV always seems to do such a crummy job.

Teamwork Isn't Always a Good Thing

Teamwork sucks when the team is your adversary. It can give them abilities that they wouldn't have individually.

Imagine that. The criminal mastermind behind the Silk Road done in by improper use of a CAPTCHA. Check out Brian Krebs' full article here.

You Can Leak It. We Can Help

tweeted by @SynAckPwn

Thanks to @SynAckPwn for tweeting (and apparently creating) this wonderful logo celebrating the fact that Home Depot has suffered a breach that affects virtually all of it's stores across the entire US.

Now, I don't know about you, but this seems like the kind of thing that would look awesome on a shirt. I wonder if @SynAckPwn could be convinced to make that a reality.

For when you need to exorcise the evil spirit of java from a computer. The power of security compels you!

This is, of course, taken from a rage comic I made in response to a tweet from Lysa Myers a while back.

I don't know if CafePress or Zazzle will allow this design to stay in their stores, but we'll never know unless we try. If both stores ban the design I'll just include the actual images here for people to make their own items ad-hoc. I don't think either store prevents that. As always, the CafePress mark-up is 0% and the Zazzle mark-up is 5% (because it won't let me go any lower).

It's Easy To Remember But Not Hard To Guess

found on Dan Kaminsky's blog

"I am Groot" is really more of a passphrase than a password, but despite that it's still not very strong because it's basically the only thing he says. What else would you guess if you were trying to crack his password?
