FTC warns firms, organizations of widespread data breach - 0 views

  • The FTC declined to identify the companies or organizations involved, but said they were both "private and public entities, including schools and local governments." The companies and organizations ranged in size from "businesses with as few as eight employees to publicly held corporations employing tens of thousands," the FTC said in a statement. It said sensitive data about customers and employees had been shared from the computer networks of the companies and organizations and made available on Internet peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks. The information was accessible to "any users of those networks, who could use it to commit identity theft or fraud," the FTC said. "Unfortunately, companies and institutions of all sizes are vulnerable to serious P2P-related breaches, placing consumers' sensitive information at risk," FTC chairman Jon Leibowitz said. "For example, we found health-related information, financial records, and drivers' license and social security numbers -- the kind of information that could lead to identity theft," Leibowitz said.

Want to Block Common Passwords? Sorry, That is Patented | Xato - Passwords & Security - 0 views

  •  
    What amazes me though is how many patents I encounter that have been granted for some of the most obvious, well-known and ordinary techniques we use in the authentication process. In fact, every imaginable aspect of password selection, authentication, storage, and recovery seems to be covered by one or more patents.As the title says, the process of checking for common or weak passwords is patented. In fact, it is covered by quite a few patents: 1.System for controlling access to a secure system by verifying acceptability 2.Specifying a set of forbidden passwords 3.Preventing trivial character combinations 4.Password strength checking method and apparatus… 5.Method and system for proactive password validation 6.Method, system, and storage medium for determining trivial keyboard sequences of proposed passwords 7.Apparatus and method for indicating password quality and variety

Welcome to CAcert.org - 1 views

  • CAcert.org is a community driven, Certificate Authority that issues certificates to the public at large for free. CAcert's goal is to promote awareness and education on computer security through the use of encryption, specifically with the X.509 family of standards. We have compiled a document base that has helpful hints and tips on setting up encryption with common software, and general information about Public Key Infrastructures (PKI). For the enthusiast looking to dip their toe in the water, we have an easy way of obtaining certificates you can use with your email program. You can use these not only to encrypt, but to prove to your friends and family that your email really does come from you. For administrators looking to protect the services they offer, we provide host and wild card certificates which you can issue almost immediately. Not only can you use these to protect websites, but also POP3, SMTP and IMAP connections, to list but a few. Unlike other certificate authorities, we don't limit the strength of the certificates, or the use of wild card certificates. Everyone should have the right to security and to protect their privacy, not just those looking to run ecommerce sites. If you're extremely serious about encryption, you can join CAcert's Assurance Programme and Web of Trust. This allows you to have your identity verified to obtain added benefits, including longer length certificates and the ability to include your name on email certificates. CAcert Inc. is a non-profit association, incorporated in New South Wales Australia.

Huge 'botnet' amputated, but criminals reconnect - washingtonpost.com - 0 views

  •  
    "The sudden takedown of an Internet provider thought to be helping spread one of the most promiscuous pieces of malicious software out there appears to have cut off criminals from potentially millions of personal computers under their control. But the victory was short-lived. Less than a day after a service known as "AS Troyak" was unplugged from the Internet, security researchers said Wednesday it apparently had found a way to get back online, and criminals were reconnecting with their unmoored machines.
