Governments have transformed the internet into a surveillance platform, but they are not omnipotent. They´re limited by material resources as much as the rest of us.

The more infrastructure you run, the safer the communication will be.

CSIS researchers have observed an introduction of a new commercial crimekit being sold on several underground web forums.

Six weeks later, it now appears that Blackhole is almost gone and the Cool exploit kit, another alleged creation of Paunch, has essentially disappeared, as well.

Like many security researchers, I see a lot of new malicious sites every week, far too many in fact. One thing that sets security researchers apart is that we can see a top-level domain (TLD) like .cc and recall instantly that it belongs to the Cocos Islands in the Indian Ocean, with a tiny population,...

Two days ago FireEye reported that the recent CVE-2013-3906 exploit has begun to be used by new threat actors other than the original ones. The new infected documents share similarities with previously detected exploits but carry a different payload. This time these exploits are being used to deliver Taidoor and PlugX backdoors, according to FireEye.

In China, start page Trojans have become a popular type of malware because by changing users´ browser start pages to point to some navigation site, the owner of the site can get a large amount of web traffic which can then be converted into large sums of money. In order to spread such Trojans as broadly as possible, Trojan authors have even turned their sights to AutoCAD.

*** The Security Impact of HTTP Caching Headers, (Fri, Nov 15th) ***
---------------------------------------------
Earlier this week, an update for Media-Wiki fixed a bug in how it used caching headers. The headers allowed authenticated content to be cached, which may lead to sessions being shared between users using the same proxy server. I think this is a good reason to talk a bit about caching in web applications and why it is important for security.

*** Stanford Metaphone Project Aims to Show Dangers of Metadata Collection ***
---------------------------------------------
When the first NSA surveillance story broke in June, about the agency´s collection of phone metadata from Verizon, most people likely had never heard the word metadata before. Even some security and privacy experts weren´t sure what the term encompassed, and now a group of security researchers at Stanford have started a new project to collect data from Android users to see exactly how much information can be drawn from the logs of phone calls and texts.
