How a cyber cop patrols the underworld of e-commerce

Melissa Andrews, a resident of Canada, is a cyber security "cop" for Payza, an
international e-commerce payment platform operating in 97 countries. Her job,
described by the company's public relations firm as "the worst security job on
the Internet," is to protect the public from illegal, and many times revolting,
content, by shutting the sites down and alerting authorities about criminal
activity. She spoke with CSO this week about her job and why she is proud of
what she does.

Heartbleed bug to steal data about taxpayers.

Richi Jennings: Police make Heartbleed arrest: Taxing times in Canada


Our neighbors to the north get their man, allegedly.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) says it arrested the perp behind the
recent hack of the country's tax agency. The allegedly-Heartbleed-mediated
alleged hacker, one Stephen Arthuro Solis-Reyes, is charged with "mischief in
relation to data." Oh, Canada!

In other news, nasty new implications of the OpenSSL bug continue to come to
light.

In IT Blogwatch, bloggers hold their heads in their hands and weep.

Windows XP retirement creates opportunity for Chinese security firm

Android trojan app targets Facebook users

Cybercriminals have started using a sophisticated Android Trojan app designed
for e-banking fraud to target Facebook users, possibly in an attempt to bypass
the two-factor authentication protection on the social network.

LaCie compromised for over a year

I guess there is truth in the saying that the devil is in the details. If anyone
ever tries to tell you that their product or service is 100% secure you have my
permission to smack them with a large fish (not an actual permission slip). That
being said, it is good to tackle the issues straight on when you've been hacked.
In this case the storage manufacturer LaCie was breached by a nefarious third
party who managed to set up shop on their internal network well over a year ago.
