Security Center Spoofing Threat
08/27/2004 02:05 PMWindows 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out of date, that news will display here.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.

Security threat in a can
07/02/2004 01:11 PMAs 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."

Although the patents have been issued, none of them have been
validated by court judgments, the study says.

Jargon: The Biggest Computer Security
Threat
Jargon: The Biggest Computer Security
Threat
04/04/2005 01:54 PMIf you're online these days, computer security problems come in all
sorts of flavors including viruses, worms, phishing, trojans, zombies,
spyware, malware, adware, DDoS, spam, spim, spit, buffer overflows and
many others... and, of course,
most people have no
clue what most of those mean -- which leads them to (a) freaking
out about the insecurity of using computers while (b) having no idea
how to really protect themselves. While some may question this
particular study, it does make a good point that a lot of the jargon
used to describe security threats can sometimes be more confusing for
non-techie computer users. What this means, though, is that many less
savvy users are simply going to
expect their ISP to keep them
secure, which may be quite a challenge for ISPs who aren't prepared
for that sort of thing.
