For the third consecutive year, Neustar surveyed hundreds of companies on
distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Neustar's survey reveals evidence
that the DDoS attack landscape is changing. The number of companies attacked is
up, but attack duration is down. Larger attacks are more common, but most
attacks are still less than 1 Gbps.

Richi Jennings: Intelligence firm Stratfor wasn't very smart about data security


Stratfor: Globally intelligent or universally stupid?

Stratfor is a secretive, shadowy, somewhat-scary company that refers to itself
as a "geopolitical intelligence and consulting firm." The company attracted
(unwanted) attention in 2011 for a website data breach, finding itself "pwned"
by hackivist group AntiSec, and highly embarrased to boot. The incident and
resulting data theft revealed details on hundreds of high-profile clients, all
of which were uploaded to data-leak haven Wikileaks.

Darlene Storm: No cloud privacy or security: If NSA wants your cloud data 'be big boys about it'


While one security expert argues that there's nothing to be done if an
intelligence agency is set on accessing your cloud data, instead 'be big boys
about it' and basically get over it, another expert urges you to add your voice
to the Digital Freedom Manifesto to help stop mass surveillance.
