Security firm Websense published a report that explains how they can use error reports generated by Windows to discover new targeted attacks (‘APTs‘ in security hipster speak). It’s interesting, but it barely touches on the fact that these reports being sent in cleartext is also a serious problem. I wrote a blog on both sides of this issue for Virus Bulletin.
(I’m not sure if anyone is reading my musings here, but I thought it might be a nice idea to link to things I write elsewhere. I also hope to find inspiration to write the odd thing that has nothing to do with computers or security at all.)
