Stagefright vulnerability lets criminals send malware by text

Vulnerabilities in Android's "Stagefright" code allows criminals to send malware
to any user via text message -- and the user gets infected without even having
to open it.

Security Alert: Key Components of Breach Containment

229 days. That's the median number of days attackers were present on a victim's
network before they were discovered according to the 2014 Verizon Data Breach
Report. That sobering statistic brings to light how ill prepared organizations
still are at preventing an attack.

What we can learn from JPMorgan's insider breaches

Another former JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPMC) employee was recently arrested by the
FBI on charges of stealing customer data and trying to sell it. Similar
incidents have occurred multiple times at JPMC over the past few years. Upon
closer inspection a common thread emerges from each of these incidents -- JPMC's
inability to account for insider threats.

Valve patches huge password reset hole that allowed anyone to hijack Steam accounts

After losing control of their Steam accounts, some gamers and Twitch streamers
were definitely steamed. Valve blamed the account takeovers on a "bug," but the
vulnerability seemed more like a critical hole – an authentication pit – since
anyone could exploit it to hijack an account.
