Prevention as a security strategy is inherently
flawed- business need to walk in the footsteps of their attacker to make their
system smarter and leaner
Why understanding the lifecycle of a cyber attack is better than trying to stop it

Data manipulation is a bigger problem than data theft.
The IRS has divulged few details about the data breach, but
thanks to some amateur sleuthing by Kasper, who is a software engineer with a
specialty in computer security, we’re able to fill in some of the blanks.

According
to a security researcher for Linux distributer Red Hat, network hardware sold
by several manufacturers failed to properly implement a widely used
cryptographic standard, a data-leaking shortcoming that can allow adversaries
to impersonate HTTPS-protected websites using the faulty equipment. A
nine-month scan that queried billions of HTTPS sessions from millions of IP
addresses was able to obtain leaked data for 272 keys, reports Red Hat security
researcher Florian Weimer in a research paper published this week. Because the
scan surveyed only a very small percentage of the overall number of transport
layer security protocol handshakes, many more keys and manufacturers are likely
to be affected by the leakage.
Serious bug causes “quite a few” HTTPS

An explosion in the number of new Internet addresses has created a wealth of opportunities for criminals exploiting shady domains such as .zip, .kim or .party, according to an industry study published on Tuesday. Attackers are constantly in search of new domains for links to lead users to download malware, divulge personal data or spam their friends, and a liberalization of the Web has expanded the number of top-level domains tenfold in the past two years. An analysis of tens of millions of websites by enterprise security company Blue Coat found the most dangerous top-level domains (TLDs) were .zip, .review and .country, while the safest new ones were .london, .tel and .church.
