Be prepared for the breach that's headed your way

If we learned anything in 2014, it was that no one is immune to a massive data
breach. If one hits you this year, are you going to have the visibility that
will let you tell the executive team what they need to know?

'Ghost' flaws poses high risk to Linux distributions

A fault in a widely used component of most Linux distributions could allow an
attacker to take remote control of a system with just a malicious email.

Link between NSA and Regin cyberespionage malware becomes clearer

Keylogging malware that may have been used by the NSA shares signficant portions
of code with a component of Regin, a sophisticated platform that has been used
to spy on businesses, government institutions and private individuals for years.

Malaysia Airlines claim DNS hijacked, site not hacked, but attackers threaten data dump

Lizard Squad and Cyber Caliphate hacker groups hijacked the DNS of Malaysia
Airlines, so that visitors to the URL saw two different '404 Not Found'
defacements. Yet Malaysia Airlines claimed its 'website was not hacked' and
customer data 'remains secure.' The attackers say that's not true and threatened
to leak the looted data.
