F5 data center firewall aces performance test

Huge data center, check. Multiple 10G Ethernet pipes, check. Load balancer,
check. Firewall? Really? Do network architects need to buy yet another box, and
likely take a performance hit?

Darlene Storm: 750 million phones vulnerable to spying: Hack SIM card via tainted text to get root


Security researchers exploited an encryption flaw by sending hidden text
messages like mobile operators do to push out updates. But the researchers can
text a secret virus that allows root access to the SIM card. An attacker could
then eavesdrop on calls, access location information, send premium text
messages, change the voicemail number, and even make purchases via mobile
payment systems. About 750 million phones may be vulnerable and the attack takes
only about two minutes. "Rooting SIM cards" will be presented at the Black
Hat security conference in Las Vegas.
