The DHS Daily Open Source Infrastructure Report (DHS) covers
the publicly reported material for the preceding day(s) not previously
covered. This weekly summary provides a selection of those items of
greatest significance to the InfoSec professional.
Should you not be aware of even one of the items
discussed below it would be wise to familiarize yourself with it. The headline above each entry will take you
directly to the DHS report which presented the item for ten business days from
the date of inclusion. The Source link
will take you to the original source cited by DHS.
A very quiet week.
A bit of this and that, but not much worthy of drawing attention
to. The one item that might have impact
is that of the disclosure of passwords for Google, Yahoo and Hotmail. Should you have one of those accounts, you
might want to take some sensible action.
