All the Things We Didn’t Care About This Week
Well. Not enough to give them their own posts, at least. A lot of stuff’s been going on, but there’s only so much of it that’s been interesting. Here’s a few snippets of things that has been going on, granted, but didn’t quite raise our interest enough to warrant writing about. Others usually take care of the boring stuff that goes on… wink, wink.
Right… this looks like fun, doesn’t it? Sure it does, and it should be, since getting in there will cost you between $100 and $2,295 (yeah, you read that right). Apparently, this is “Where the World Talks Security”, but its definitely not for your run-of-the-mill security professional, since we can hardly think of anyone of them who can afford 2,300 bucks to be a “delegate” at a place like that.
And… what does “RSA” stand for, anyway? We thought we could find out at their website, but no such luck. Anyone know, please leave a comment!
Shameless plugs by “gurus”
BS has a new “security theory” book out, and spends every other post on his blog promoting it. We don’t really want to comment on it all that much – we never got a review copy, after all.
DHS and their “keywords”
So, the DHS are apparently monitoring social media. Who would have thunk it. One of their keyword lists have been released to the public, and it includes such gems as “pork” and “social media”. Yep – they’re monitoring social media for mentions of “social media”. Seems like a great idea…
NASA’s IT security sucks
As usual, we don’t really care too much about that kind of thing, so we didn’t really mention it. Everybody else did, so it’s not as if you missed it, we guess. Still, it had a certain coolness-factor, in that the hacker could hijack space missions. Fun for hacker, not so much for astronauts.
There you go. Highlights of the week! Yay.
