Why you should not use P2P Windows 7 Builds

This is not about piracy and not about leaks and not about… I am waiting for the new RC build as you are. I am running an intermediate build between Beta and RC and would love to upgrade all my machines (including my MediaCenter) to RC. However, I refrain from downloading it from any of…

Finjan reports world's largest Botnet

I guess you have read it in the meantime: There are a lot of reports out there, that Finjan found a Botnet affecting 1.9 Million computers. This is really bad – obviously. The press now started to cover this and I think we are already losing a little bit of focus in the discussion. I…

The Impact of the Downturn (part 2)

Just a brief one: I wrote an article for Infosecurity which was just published in the latest version covering the economic downturn as well. It is called Time to Step Up and can be found on page 45 of the latest edition.

The Impact of the Downturn on Security

This is a question I often get asked: What is the impact of the economic downturn on security? I am convinced that three things will happen: Cybercrime will grow Security budgets will shrink – it is just open whether the budgets will shrink at the same pace as IT budgets or faster but I am…

Schedule update on Forefront

You know that I am a big fan of what we are going to deliver with our Forefront Suite in the next version code-named Stirling. You probably heard me talking about compliance (where, from a technical perspective Forefront can play an integral part) and what I call the best of need integrated platform – where…

Update on Conficker Variants

Over the last few day we have seen a lot of coverage about new Conficker variants. Let me give you a very brief update. But before I start, let me make sure that we are clear on one thing. In the area of security, we often see coverage about somebody who heard something from the…

Security Intelligence Report: "Scareware" on the Raise

You know that we release our Security Intelligence Report twice an year: Today Version 6 is due. Let me try to give you an overview of the “highlights” of the report from my point of view: As I wrote in the title and as I blogged about this summer („Scareware“ on the Raise) one if…

Security Updates on Automatic Update

I basically like the blogosphere. It is a way to express an opinion without having to worry (too much) about censorship. The disadvantage is that there are people who present things as “facts”, which are simply wrong. This happened Thursday on ZDNet. I stumbled across an article called It’s time for Microsoft to supply ALL…

Conficker – Are you infected?

I just found this pretty clever website which bases its statement with regards to your possible Conficker infection on the information whether you are able to access certain websites:

9 Cameroonians Arrested for Fraud

Since quite a while, when I am talking to government officials (and the private sector) I am asking for new ways of collaboration between Law Enforcement and the industry in order to fight cybercrime. We are already seeing big progress when it comes to training where the different bodies came closer together. However, there is…
