Patch Tuesday: Fairly quiet on the Microsoft front

Microsoft's "Patch Tuesday" set of monthly software patches is so minimal for
January that at least one security firm is suggesting that IT shops first tend
to recently issued patches for more severe vulnerabilities found in Oracle Java,
Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader.

Ira Winkler: The RSA Conference boycott is nonsense

The outrage is more about media hype, hypocrisy and grandstanding than firm
principles.
http://cwonline.computerworld.com/t/8835988/823929835/651784/32/

tech support services, security experts warn.

Ron Miller: After Snowden, what kind of country does America want to be?

The really important question right now isn't what to do about Edward Snowden;
it's how much surveillance is tolerable in a free society.

FISA judges oppose plan for privacy advocate

Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judges have said the creation of a
privacy advocate in the secret court could be counterproductive and hamper its
work.

Senators question recommended changes to NSA surveillance

Recommendations by a presidential panel to overhaul a U.S. National Security
Agency phone records collection program could impede efforts to track terrorism
suspects, some senators suggested Tuesday.

Richi Jennings: Offline computers send the NSA strong signals


The National Security Agency (NSA) is due for an interesting day. Bloggers have
received disturbing intelligence that the shadowy agency possesses an ability to
monitor off-line computers utilizing small radio transmitters.

While intercepting strong signals from bloggers and news outlets, the agency
will also have to decode the recommendations of a FISA review panel.
Recommendations that are expected to be announced by American President Barack
Obama later today.

In IT Blogwatch, bloggers are bugged by computers and Capitol Hill.
