  1. Antivirus expert turns on customers, gets fired http://bit.ly/elwdQ BUT if antivirus firm does it, it's okay http://bit.ly/3Arpvq
  2. Headline says "Symantec finds rogue anti-virus to be well-oiled profit machine." Here's WHY: http://vmyths.com/2009/03/2...
  3. Hurricane Hugo struck 20yrs ago; the ILoveYou virus struck 9yrs ago. Each cost nearly $8 billion -- so they're equals, right?
  4. SecurityCritics.org hacked! Will Earth survive? Can I berate myself in a "Scandalabra" column? Do I lose my white hat now?
  5. Aussies: ignore Russ Smith's security hype. You don't need a "license to compute" just to do library research or watch NetFlix.
  6. The White House mulled a "precautionary disconnect" for the entire Internet, one week after 9/11: http://Vmyths.com/column/1/...
  7. Proposed bill gives Obama "precautionary disconnect" power if antivirus software fails us yet again... http://Vmyths.com/column/1/...
  8. If you DO remember where you were when the Blaster worm struck, it's because you got PAID to fight it ... money <> empathy
  9. {sarcasm} "Do you recall where you were, five years ago, when the Blaster worm struck down the Internet?"
  10. OK, I'll ask. Did US State Dept calculate the # of Iran protesters who die per hour when Twitter is up vs. down?
  11. Tons of tweet-SPAM for Trend Micro's anti-Conficker package. Short URL goes to a spam counter which redirects to Trend's site...
  12. !! @teksquisite: "@Cyxymu had aprox. 100 followers" before attack. Now he's got 2300+. Will copycats fake an attack as a PR stunt?
  13. Suppose @Cyxymu stood on a street in NYC shouting "Russia started a global cyber-war to silence my blog!" Would you believe him?
  14. WARNING: @Cyxymu speculated Russia ordered Twitter/FB attacks ... and the media reported it as a "fact."
  15. News flash! @vmyths was also a target in the Twitter/FB attacks. I know it for a FACT because i'm the one they attacked! No, really!
  16. Okay, I'll bite. HOW EXACTLY do we know @Cyxymu was the "real" target of the recent Twitter/FB cyber-genocide?
  17. Ignore the "RFID" tweet from @mikkohypponen. Here's why: http://bit.ly/Km5mK
  18. "Horrifying new BIND vuln!" Oh, but it's already got a patch. So, what will the media hype up next?
  19. There's a LOT of "security research" hype on Twitter now. {sniff} I smell a Black Hat hacker convention.
  20. Expect security vendors to raise their "AlertCons" & "InfoCons" & "ThreatCons" re: Microsoft's "pre-announcement"
