Security Industry Faces Attacks It Can't Stop
itwbennett writes "The takedown of the Mariposa botnet and so-called advanced persistent threat attacks, such as the one that compromised Google systems in early December, were hot topics at the RSA conference last week. What both Mariposa and the Google attacks illustrate, and what went largely unsaid at RSA, was that the security industry has failed to protect paying customers from some of today's most pernicious threats, writes Robert McMillan. Traditional security products are simply not much help, said Alex Stamos, a partner with Isec Partners, one of the companies investigating the APT attacks. 'All of the victims we've worked with had perfectly installed antivirus,' he said. 'They all had intrusion detection systems and several had Web proxies scan content.'"
If the "M" virus hits the RSA conference, it it the MSRA virus?
Free Martian Whores!
Kittens don't have hands. They have paws. But yes, I agree with you. Maybe seeing a few pictures like that would get people to stop clicking the links.
You could at least try to not sound like an idiot.
Which is why I am staying out of this conversation ... except for that ... and that ... oh, never mind.
We should feel lucky we don't have Cylons yet. They hacked 5 layers of firewalls in a matter of several minutes...and it took many episodes and a reboot via hot skin job sticking things into her arm before they finally removed all trace of the virus.
Obviously it must be one of those national security letters that let them do anything and nobody can talk about having gotten one.
If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I bought a pair of binoculars.
Your mom.
Possibly mine also ...
It takes 40+ muscles to frown, but only four to extend your arm and bitchslap the motherfucker
