Take 1 Security Podcast: Episode 8

* 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

North Korea Strategy to “Infiltrate” Foreign Companies

How To Find Great People to Work With - UBI & Talent Distribution

How To Find Great People to Work With - UBI & Talent Distribution

This reminds me of a very similar lesson I learned when hiring in cybersecurity over 20 years: exposing people to training and encouragement makes the stars stand out, but it doesn’t turn everyone into stars.

Ambition & UBI - Why People Are Working Less

Ambition & UBI - Why People Are Working Less

The idea that Universal Basic Income (UBI) reduces the need to work isn't new, but recent studies show it doesn't lead to better jobs or more education. Instead, people just work less. | by Alex Howlett | MORE Subscribe to the newsletter at: https://danielmiessler.com/subscribe Join the UL community at:https://danielmiessler.com/upgrade Follow on X:https://twitter.com/danielmiessler Follow on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielmiessler See you in the next one!Become a Member: https://danielmiessler.com/upgradeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Google Current State A Waste of Money & Talent

Google Current State A Waste of Money & Talent

Google is slowly getting rid of all the best things it has. The main thing Google is growing is its graveyard. Such a colossal waste of money and talent. Their failures should be studied for centuries as an example of what happens when you don’t lead with UX-focused product management, rather than “throw shit at wall”-focused engineering.
