First Atrivo and now McColo have been disconnected from the Internet. This was done not by law enforcement or other governmental action, but rather by the concerted efforts of the Internet community. http://www.secureworks.com/research/blog/?p=129 http://www.secureworks.com/blog/index.php/2008/11/14/the-weeks-links-november-10-14-2008 A weekly feature highlighting news stories, reports and editorials of interest to IT and security managers.

Location: WA State Convention and Trade Center, Seattle, WA. http://www.secureworks.com/media/events/#288 http://www.secureworks.com/research/blog/index.php/2008/11/03/tracking-gimmiv On October 23, 2008, Microsoft released an out-of-cycle emergency patch for a flaw in the Windows RPC code. The reason for this unusual occurance was the discovery of a "zero-day" exploit being used in the wild by a worm (or trojan, depending on how you look at it). The announcement of a new remote exploit for unpatched Windows systems always raises tension levels among network administrators. The fact that this one was already being used by a worm evoked flashbacks of Blaster and Sasser and other previous threats that severely impacted the networked world. http://www.secureworks.com/research/blog/?p=128 http://www.secureworks.com/blog/index.php/2008/11/07/the-weeks-links-november-3-7-2008 A weekly feature highlighting news stories, reports and editorials of interest to IT and security managers.

DarkMarket was widely known and respected among criminals as a forum for exchanging stolen banking data, credit card information, and other underground activities. What users of the site didn't know was that the site wasn't really hosted by Eastern-European hackers. http://www.secureworks.com/research/blog/?p=126 http://www.secureworks.com/blog/index.php/2008/10/27/red-flags-deadline-extended-for-ftc-supervised-organizations On Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission announced they were delaying enforcement of the ID Theft Red Flags Rule until May 1, 2009. This delay ONLY applies to organizations supervised by the FTC. It does NOT apply to institutions supervised by the member agencies of the FFIEC (FDIC, OTS, OCC, FRB and NCUA). http://www.secureworks.com/blog/?p=122 http://computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=security&articleId=9120727&taxonomyId=17&intsrc=kc_top http://computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=security&articleId=9120727&taxonomyId=17&intsrc=kc_top http://www.secureworks.com/research/blog/index.php/2008/10/10/clickjacking-attacks ClickJacking has recently been getting lots of media attention.
