Credit Card with One-Time Password Generator

2008-12-04 06:17:26 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
This is a nifty little device: a credit card with an onboard one-time password generator. The idea is that the user enters his PIN every time he makes an online purchase, and enters the one-time code on the screen into the webform. The article doesn't say if the code is time-based or just sequence-based, but in either case the credit card...

Real-Time OSINT vs Historical OSINT in Russia/Georgia Cyberattacks

The Article has images
2008-10-20 09:58:59 by Dancho Danchev in Dancho Danchev's Blog - Mind Streams of Information Security Knowledge
The original real-time OSINT analysis of the Russian cyberattacks against Georgia conducted on the 11th of August, not only closed the Russia vs Georgia cyberwar case for me personally, but also, once again proved that real-time OSINT is invaluable compared to historical OSINT using a commercial social network visualization/data mining tool...

Do you know how identity theft happens most of the time?

2008-02-29 04:52:00 by John Sexton in The Bullet Proof Blog
 
Many people probably think that identity theft occurs most often as a result of hackers gaining unauthorized access to our computers. However, this is not the case I attended a Web 2.0 round table discussion yesterday (called "The New New Internet").

Gold hit an all time hight today at $991 an ounce, crude oil at another high of $103.5 , while the dollar tumbled and US manufacturing hit a 5 year low. Just not a pretty picture. My thoughts begin to...

2008-05-22 00:38:16 by HASH0x8472a6c in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
Returning my rent a car here in Denver, I stopped in the gas station to fill up. I paid $4.04.9 for 85 octane gas. First time I have cracked the $4 dollar barrier. I am so excited I can cry. Oil went over $133 a barrel today and I saw an analyst report that it could go as high as $200 a barrel. It seems that when George W became President I...

Highlighting the importance of data privacy... one person at a time

2008-01-11 09:29:07 by Jen Albornoz Mulligan in Security & Risk Management
 
I've seen an increasingly common trend for vendors or others to post sensitive personal information in public places, to prove that no harm will come, or that their solution will protect against any possible misuse. One person to do this recently, in response to the data loss by HM Revenue and Customs is Jeremy Clarkson , a TV broadcaster...
