  2. MBSA + WSUS CAB File on Ask Slashdot: Patch Management For Offline Customer Systems? · · Score: 2

    Microsoft has a product called Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer, when you combine it with the WSUS CAB file, it will output an XML file of all patches installed and (more importantly) not installed on your machine.

    With some small scripting (VBS, Powershell, etc), you parse the XML and find the needed patches in a patch repository.

    Then you can remotely push all of that out via PS-Remoting or PSExec, and your offline/air-gapped network can stay patched.

  5. AT&T Take Your Profits & Upgrade Your Equi on AT&T On Data Throttling: Blame Yourselves · · Score: 1

    Example
    2,000,000 million smart phones x $100 monthly payment = $200,000,000
    $200,000,000 x 24 month contract = $4,800,000,000

    I know AT&T has sold more than 2 million smart phones, so the overall number is a lot larger.

    AT&T is saying it is the user's fault for buying a smart phone and is throttling customer's download speed.

    AT&T how about you take some of the billions you make in profit and put it towards upgrading your archaic infrastructure?


    Facts pulled from ATT.com 2011 4th Quarter Earnings Data
    -For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, AT&T's consolidated revenues totaled $32.5 billion

    Customer Service Notification
    May 2, 2011
    Dear Valued Sony Online Entertainment Customer:
    Our ongoing investigation of illegal intrusions into Sony Online Entertainment systems has discovered that hackers may have obtained personal customer information from SOE systems. We are today advising you that the personal information you provided us in connection with your SOE account may have been stolen in a cyber-attack. Stolen information includes, to the extent you provided it to us, the following: name, address (city, state, zip, country), email address, gender, birthdate, phone number, login name and hashed password. Customers outside the United States should be advised that we further discovered evidence that information from an outdated database from 2007 containing approximately 12,700 non-US customer credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes) and about 10,700 direct debit records listing bank account numbers of certain customers in Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Spain may have also been obtained and we will be notifying each of those customers promptly.
    There is no evidence that our main credit card database was compromised. It is in a completely separate and secured environment.
    We had previously believed that SOE customer data had not been obtained in the cyber-attacks on the company, but on May 1st we concluded that SOE account information may have been stolen and we are notifying you as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the attack and as a result, we have:
    1. Temporarily turned off all SOE game services;
    2. Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened; and
    3. Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network infrastructure to provide you with greater protection of your personal information.
    We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and efficiently as practicable.
    For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email, telephone, and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your credit card number, social security number or other personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information, you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When SOEâ's services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your Station or SOE game account name or password for other unrelated services or accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them, as well.
    To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and to monitor your credit reports. We are providing the following information for those who wish to consider it:
    # U.S. residents are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228.
    # We have also provided names and contact information for the three major U.S. credit bureaus below. At no charge, U.S. residents can have these credit bureaus place a "fraud alert" on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This service can make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name. Note, however, that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you, it also may delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others are notified to place fraud alerts on your file. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your credit report, pl

    Lots of sites have cross site scripting vulnerabilities, and news sites are one of them. CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other local new sites, have the ability to inject HTML into the pages. So the domain still reads the sites original URL, but contains altered text. Dont believe me? http://xssed.com/ is a database oh sites that currently have such security hole. Take a look at common sites you use, and maybe demand these sites fix them.
