For a public safety website, theirs is quite advanced. Visitors can view dynamically generated maps showing the distribution of different classes of crimes, make anonymous tips to the narcotics squad, and even try to sign up to join the force. As those of us that work in information security well know, all that rich web functionality brings increased risk. http://www.secureworks.com/research/blog/?p=98 http://www.secureworks.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/18/the-weeks-links-july-14-july-18-2007 A weekly feature highlighting news stories, reports and editorials of interest to IT and security managers.

Just ask the developer at a major antivirus company who was infected with the Coreflood trojan on his personal computer for over a year. Perhaps he was just testing their product, but it seems odd to have allowed the trojan to capture some of his personal information. http://www.secureworks.com/research/blog/?p=96 http://www.secureworks.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/17/attack-of-the-disgruntled-network-admin In a CLM of epic proportions (and with possible legal consequences), a network administrator for the City of San Francisco cut off access for some of the âhigher upsâ in the cityâs Department of Technology.

While the larger circumstances were quite shocking (and have been covered enough I don't think I need to go into them), she was charged for nothing more than pretending to be someone else on the Internet. http://www.secureworks.com/research/blog/?p=95 http://www.secureworks.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/11/the-weeks-links-july-7-july-11-2007 A weekly feature highlighting news stories, reports and editorials of interest to IT and security managers.
