*** ZeuS/ZBOT: Most Distributed Malware by Spam in August ***
---------------------------------------------
In our 2Q Security Roundup, we noted the resurgence of online banking malware, in particular the increase of ZeuS/ZBOT variants during the quarter.

*** Not So Fast on BEAST Attack Mitigations ***

---------------------------------------------
If an Android device (phone or tablet) has ever logged on to a particular Wi-Fi network, then Google probably knows the Wi-Fi password. ... Android devices have defaulted to coughing up Wi-Fi passwords since version 2.2. And, since the feature is presented as a good thing, most people wouldnt change it. I suspect that many Android users have never even seen the configuration option controlling this.

*** A Random Diary, (Tue, Sep 17th) ***
---------------------------------------------
The current discussion about breaking encryption algorithm has one common thread: random number generators. No matter the encryption algorithm, if your encryption keys are not random, the algorithm can be brute forced much easier then theoretically predicted based on the strength of the algorithm. All encryption algorithms depend on good random keys and generating good random numbers has long been a problem.  In Unix systems for example, you will have two random devices: /dev/random and...
