		<description><![CDATA[I was out on a web site today, it doesn&#8217;t really matter which one, and was forced to create a profile for the (mis)use of the site&#8217;s owner.  I found their password standards to be, well &#8220;stringent&#8221; would be a good word, especially considering the information (my profile) that I was securing. Their standards for [...]]]></description>

A Dutch information security researcher wants to use a concept similar to that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those who aren&#8217;t aware, there are folks out there who are stealing your ATM information not by breaking into the transaction processing company, but by stealing it from you at the ATM. This process is called &#8220;skimming,&#8221; and it involves installing a card reader and a camera on the ATM. The card reader gets [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that if you steal enough credit cards, then you might actually get arrested.  Last week I posted about the Heartland Payment Systems case, and today, Computerworld is reporting that the first arrests have happened in the case.  This to me is remarkably swift justice.
The Leon County, Florida Sheriff&#8217;s office earlier this week announced [...]]]></description>

When I started managing computer systems for the telephone company in the late 1980s, the game was to break into systems primarily to learn something.  Occasionally there were malicious attempts to access information, such as the phreak&#8217;s setting themselves up with free phone service, but for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve blogged in the past about botnets, and it should be pretty clear that they can be powerful entities for good or evil. With human nature being what it is, they&#8217;re mostly used for evil. As a botnet controller, I imagine it must be very seductive to look at a popular service such as Facebook [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a lot of news lately about botnets. But what exactly is one?
A botnet is a collection of computers that are under remote control. These compromised computers are typically called &#8220;zombies.&#8221; Zombie computers connect to a command-and-control system created by the owner of the botnet, and listen for commands. These commands can direct them [...]]]></description>
