Security Briefing: May 15th

I’m starting to compile a massive list of default passwords. There are various lists around the internet and we’re going to try and pull them together with our own lists. If you have any that you would like to share with us drop is a line at tips AT liquidmatrix.org

Also, we’re changing the name of these “Morning Coffee” posts to the “Security Briefing” going forward. I have had a couple folks asking “why that name?” (non-coffee people). So, a name change may be in order. That, and I can stop feeling bad if I post the “morning coffee” in the afternoon on those days when the world decides to snow me under.

And now, the news…

1. U.S. ISPs slam into wiretap deadline
2. New Attack Piggybacks on Microsoft’s Patch Service
3. Verizon bags Cybertrust
4. HP unveils security-monitoring appliance for SCADA systems
5. Samba developers quash serious bug
6. No change in global piracy rates
7. Apple Product Security – New PGP Key
8. Former Oracle Official Settles SEC Charges
9. Microsoft seeks royalties from open-source software (give it a rest Ballmer)
