Good morning!
Thanks for sharing news stories – I’m glad to have them. You can now follow me on Twitter, though honestly my life is not that interesting. I have to go now, the fax machine is out of paper.
Signed,

And now, the news…
- Former Justice Dept. Prosecutor Joins Defence in MySpace Suicide Case – Wired, Threat Level Sadly, there is so much to say on this, and it seems morally compromising to do so.
- RIM to launch new BlackBerry app store – The Globe and Mail RIM has lost it’s “first mover” status.
- Buffer Overflows and History: a request – Emergent Chaos Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it. James spoke of this at SecTor, maybe he’s on to something.
- Your Simple Guide To Endpoint Encryption Options – Securosis A very useful reference, especially for someone like me.
- Taliban extends mobile shutdown order – The Register But how will they update Twitter?
- Microsoft accused of hacking China?!? – The Dark Visitor Thanks Zach!
- Ohio searches for state-site attacker – Security Focus More political election-related fodder. 13 days til it’s over…

Hi,
Was the history a major feature of ‘James’ talk? Which talk was it?
Adam
Hi Adam
I’m not sure on the content of his talk (had to be at a client) but, his talk was entitled “Security Heretic: We’re doing it wrong”
Cheers,
Dave
Adam, Thanks for dropping by…
The talk included a chunk on history and of most importance, a small chunk on Computer Security History – pointing out that we’ve had the answers for at least 35 years and we do so little of what was learned.
Please feel free to have a listen – synchronized with the slides : http://www.sector.ca/presentations/video/Sector%202008%20-%20James%20Arlen.wmv
After reading some commentary on my talk, I was kinda depressed… but in listening to it now, I’m pretty happy with the result – most of the SecTor audience was pretty flat so there were a few cricket moments compared to my other talks this summer.
Oh – and thanks for putting as much work into your site as you do!
Thanks Gents – I didn’t get back here yesterday!
