MONDAY BLUES NEWS








I could write a country western song the way this Monday morning has gone and if did, the songs title would be: "I woke up on the right side of the bed it was just the wrong morning" [ed. - hey, no beers and tears 'til after noon at least...]

COMMON SOFTWARE SECURITY HOLES

I read an article about common, everyday software we use daily on our computers and just how safe they are. After all, we're always hearing about the "BIG 3" (Microsoft, Adobe, JAVA), but what about the little guys?

Well, security testing firm Vercode just released a report about that [huh, I just was thinking about it and here it is?] isn't very assuring -

"22,430 applications submitted to the firms code analysis service in an 18-month period ending June 2012, only 13 percent of web applications were able to pass the generic OWASP Top 10 list of security problems"

Read the article HERE.

And, if you're interested in "SHYLOCK" the infamous banking Trojan, read that article HERE.

'Nuff Said,
