Today is a serious news day in the security world, so I won’t break down everything that’s going on, but instead will just recap a few highlights and put some of them in context.<\/p>\nToday is a serious news day in the security world, so I won’t break down everything that’s going on, but instead will just recap a few highlights and put some of them in context.<\/p>\n
So, number 1: Remember the ShadowBrokers? \u00a0I do too<\/a>. \u00a0The ThreatPost has an interesting article<\/a> summing up what we do and don’t know as of now about the group. \u00a0Most people seem to agree that this is the GRU – but I don’t know that anybody has this definitively (if they do, it’s not public). \u00a0And the “dump of the month” service? \u00a0Who knows where that is. Remains a mystery. \u00a0Like Amelia Earhart I guess.<\/p>\n Number 2: Russian dude, apparently involved in BTC-e, was\u00a0arrested for Mt. Gox<\/a> attacks. \u00a0If true, this guy stole a bunch of money, conducted some serious money laundering, and knocked out a competitor at the same time. \u00a0How’s that for efficiency?<\/p>\n Number 3: \u00a0New attack allows malicious use of Docker containers<\/a>. \u00a0This is an interesting one and should highlight why using certificate-based authentication for API access is a good idea. \u00a0Are you using certificates? \u00a0Good for you, I knew you would be.<\/p>\n Number 4: There’s now something akin to a UL listing<\/a>\u00a0but for medical devices<\/a>. \u00a0It includes a consortium of device manufacturers, academia, technology firms, and (presumably) providers. \u00a0Finally. \u00a0Let’s hope people take it seriously. \u00a0It would also be nice if there was some regulatory “encouragement” to select products that have been accredited in some way.<\/p>\n Anyway, that’s all for now. \u00a0Happy Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today is a serious news day in the security world, so I won’t break down everything that’s going on, but instead will just recap a few highlights and put some of them in context.
