Security Center Spoofing Threat

Security Watch Special: Windows XP SP2
Security Center Spoofing Threat 08/27/2004 02:05 PM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 promises to raise the security bar for the sometimes beleaguered operating system. Unfortunately, one of the new features could be spoofed so that it reports misleading information about system security, or worse, lets a malicious program watch for an opportunity to do damage without being detected. The feature is the Windows Security Center (WSC), which displays the status ( (Figure 1) )of the key elements of your defenses: Firewall, Updates, and Antivirus. If your firewall has been disabled, or your antivirus is out of date, that news will display here. The information is stored in an internal database managed by the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) subsystem built into Windows.

MS support pledge boosts security 06/01/2004 01:54 PM
Microsoft's guarantee that its business products will have a 10-year lifecycle will boost the company's Trustworthy Computing security initiative, according to industry analysts. Users who do not upgrade when product support ends are left with vulnerable PCs, with no means of patching, said Graham Titterington, principal analyst at Ovum. "Any insecure computer on a network is a risk to the whole network," he said. In the past, Microsoft was committed to supporting a product for five years from the day it shipped. Users could then buy extended support to provide security fixes for a further two years.

Security threat in a can

Security threat in a can 07/02/2004 01:11 PM
As we previously noted, Coke has launched a contest revolving around a small number of cans outfitted with cell phones and GPS receivers. Winners who discover the cans call a prize center to win big prizes. According to the AP though, military bases are paranoid that soldiers might bring the cans into classified meetings where they could inadvertently be used as an eavesdropping device. For example, Sue Murphy, a spokeswoman for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, told the AP that her facility has "taken measures to make sure everyone's aware of this contest and to make sure devices are cleared before they're taken in." The special cans shouldn't be too hard to spot though--they have a big panel of buttons on the side.

Paul Saffo, research director at The Institute for the Future, a technology research firm, compared the concern about the Coke cans to when the Central Intelligence Agency banned Furbies, the stuffed toys that could repeat phrases. "There's things generals should stay up late at night worrying about," he said. "A talking Coke can isn't one of them."
