Security Ticker: Google Chrome Operating System
http://securityticker.blogspot.com/2009/07/google-chrome-operating-system.html
My thoughts on tech, with a security angle. Tuesday, July 07, 2009. Google Chrome Operating System. The Google Chrome blog announced. Just recently that they are planing an operating system. Initially geared for netbooks, but I'm sure there's more in plan. I'm guessing they wpn't target full blown computers for awhile, but this is probably an extension of Android that Google aready has for the cell phone market. Google Empire marches on.

Security Ticker: July 2009
http://securityticker.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
My thoughts on tech, with a security angle. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Windows Security Updates for July 2009. Patch Tuesday is here. From the Microsoft Security Bulletin, there are six security updates. There are two for the Windows operating system, one for the Microsoft Office system, one for the Windows Internet Explorer browser, one for Microsoft ISA Server, and one for Microsoft Virtual PC. Most important I believe is the fix for the Internet Explorer Video Active X exploit. You can see all the gory a...

Security Ticker: Imageshack got Hacked
http://securityticker.blogspot.com/2009/07/imageshack-got-hacked.html
My thoughts on tech, with a security angle. Friday, July 10, 2009. Looks like Imageshack left the backdoor of their server open. All images hosted by them are showing the hacked image, but the wording seems to indicate that no pictures were deleted. Imageshack, one of the web's largest image hosts, was attacked tonight by a movement called "Anti-Sec". The result of the attack has been toreplace all ImageShack hosted images with a manifesto for the movement (below). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Security Ticker: Internet Explorer Video Active X Exploit
http://securityticker.blogspot.com/2009/07/internet-explorer-video-active-x.html
My thoughts on tech, with a security angle. Monday, July 06, 2009. Internet Explorer Video Active X Exploit. Vista and presumably Windows 7 aren't affected. One way to avoid this is to not use IE. Firefox, Opera, Safari and other browsers aren't affected. The bad guys could try to open IE or trick you into opening it, so it's best to the video Active X advisory page. And use the fix it button to turn off the part of IE that allows the exploit. More tech details at Microsoft Security Advisory 972890.

Security Ticker: Firefox 3.5 final available
http://securityticker.blogspot.com/2009/06/firefox-35-final-available.html
My thoughts on tech, with a security angle. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Firefox 3.5 final available. Probably not a secret to most, but the latest version of Firefox is out. A big update, since the version went from 3.0 to 3.5. Most of the changes are underneath, so they aren't readily apparent. I've run it for a few hours and haven't had any issues. Tried doing just about everything you can with a browser and it all went well. One thing you'll see that is new is the private browsing. Firefox 3.5 does ha...

Security Ticker: iPhoto update 8.0.4 available
http://securityticker.blogspot.com/2009/07/iphoto-update-804-available.html
My thoughts on tech, with a security angle. Wednesday, July 01, 2009. IPhoto update 8.0.4 available. I don't use iPhoto too much, but it has it uses. There's a nice 103 MB update for it that fixes the issue from the iPhoto 8.03 update that caused iPhoto to crash. You could work around it by holding the Option key and then choosing your library, but what fun was that. I didn't have that problem, but this should help those that did.

Security Ticker: How to Tell If That Pop-Up Window Is Offering You a Rogue Anti-Malware Product
http://securityticker.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-tell-if-that-pop-up-window-is.html
My thoughts on tech, with a security angle. Monday, June 22, 2009. How to Tell If That Pop-Up Window Is Offering You a Rogue Anti-Malware Product. One thing I run into often, is how to know if that program that is. Saying it can fix your spyware and malware woes is actually any good. As many have found out, even programs that remove malware can be. Malware themselves. The infamous SpyAxe (which started me blogging). Was the first mainstream one. That was 2006. Since then, there have. Follow me at Twitter.
