Take 1 Security Podcast: Episode 8



START CONTENT


* New SSL attack called FREAK


* Has to do with falling RSA back to a deprecated and weak level
* Requires the client and server are both vulnerable
* The solution is to patch
* Many orgs will also want to note which servers were vulnerable
* The lesson is that you don’t reduce security to increase it
* Backdoors x time = regret

* Using Ruby’s Open-URI could be dangerous


* open-uri monkeypatches kernel.open
* open(params[:url]) can execute |ls

* Hilary Clinton used a personal email address and did not store correspondence on government servers for her entire 4 years as Secretary of Defense


* This seems highly suspect
* First you’re putting that data at risk in a personal system
* Second you’re obviously trying to hide your conversations

* Facebook can access your account without your password
* Google no longer encrypting Lollipop by default


* Was one of the main selling points for 5, and now it’s gone
* They said it was simply a driver issue

* DLink routers have a remote command injection bug


* Could allow DNS hijacking and other attacks

* ISIS has threatened some members of the Twitter team for disabling their accounts


* This really puts a point on public presence for me
* I’m a strong proponent of the belief that the way to avoid attack is to avoid being a target, not to be hard to attack once people want to
* This works for personal attacks, not for countries obviously

* There has been some major fraud happening with people connecting stolen cards to ApplePay


* The issue isn’t a security problem with ApplePay, but rather with standard bank / card security issue

* Up to 18.8 non-Anthem customers exposed in the Anthem breach


* This is in addition to the 80 million actual anthem customers

* GoPro vulnerability on its website exposes customer Wi-fi passwords


* Expect more of this

* Uber took over 5 months to issue a breach notification


* There was a breach of driver names and license numbers that they just now disclosed

* Seagate NAS vulnerability allows unauthorized root access


* This raises the cloud storage issue I blogged about last week
