    Default Time for everyone to update their Windows computers

    These has come up based upon research from the DDOS that hit the root name servers just before Xmas:

    Researchers identify command servers behind Google attack

    Adobe has a 0 Day exploit in the wild that will effect every reader that's older than 3 days:

    PDF Babushka

    http://www.adobe.com/support/securit...apsb10-02.html

    IE 6,7, and 8 has a 0 Day in the wild:

    0-day vulnerability in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8

    And, just recently, I've seen Abovenet and Level 3 do emergency maintenance to on their routers due to an exploit found in the TCP/IP stack in Juniper firmware. All of this has come about based on a myriad of security findings during the analysis of the DDOS attacks at the root name servers (The one that took down Amazon) from 2 days before Xmas.

    at the draft party a couple of years ago, and under a considerable haze, i heard Birdman yell out the following (about 4 or 5 times, i think) - "don't marry yourselves to players!" he went on to reiterate that idea more than once on the boards, and i believe it to be absolutely sage.

    Translation: Internet Explorer sucks. Adobe too. They will kill us all.

    It means the next big war will be in cyber space

    "Nobody is building aircraft carriers anymore," said James Mulvenon, director of the Center for Intelligence Research and Analysis at Defense Group Inc., a national-security firm. "It looks like, from now on, the big money is in cyber space."

    It means the Chinese have been engaging in cyber espionage. Also, keep these programs updated to latest versions. Individuals are not the target of these attacks large government contracted companies are.

    It's funny that at first Adobe denied any vulnerabilities in their programming software then later issued a warning and critical update.

    Deze is te komen gebaseerd op onderzoek van de DDOS dat de root nameservers treffer vlak voor Kerstmis:

    Onderzoekers identificeren commando servers achter Google aanval

    Adobe heeft een 0 day exploit in het wild die zin dat iedere lezer is ouder dan 3 dagen:

    PDF Babushka

    http://www.adobe.com/support/securit...apsb10-02.html

    IE 6,7, en 8 heeft een 0 Dag in het wild:

    0-day beveiligingslek in Internet Explorer 6, 7 en 8

    En onlangs heb ik gezien Abovenet en niveau 3 voor dringend onderhoud te doen op hun routers te wijten aan een exploit gevonden in de TCP / IP-stack in Juniper firmware. Dit alles is tot stand gekomen op basis van een horde van veiligheid bevindingen tijdens de analyse van de DDOS-aanvallen op de root name servers (De een die pakte Amazon) vanaf 2 dagen voor kerst.
    This is the message translated to Dutch. I'm still lost.
