  1. Security Rebuttal: Northrop Grumman, Cyber-gangs, APT and 0-day

    security curmudgeon:

    This is a rebuttal piece to “Northrop Grumman constantly under attack by cyber-gangs” (June 21, 2011) by Ellen Messmer (@EllenMessmer), Senior Editor at Network World.

    Warning: Due to Northrop Grumman, Timothy McKnight and Ellen Messmer’s use of inflammatory words like “Advanced Persistent Threat” and the mis-use of “zero day”, the witnesses will be treated as hostile.

  7. @ioerror: Threat Post is embarrassing to read, what idiots. Aaron Barr is not "a respected authority on computer security" at all http://t.co/GpunVBl
    @attritionorg: do you think he is not a) respected b) an authority on compsec or c) both?
    @ioerror: c!
    @attritionorg: thanks for clarifying (it was an honest question)
    @ioerror: No problem, you're welcome. He belongs on your charlatan page.
    @attritionorg: if you (or anyone) can provide a compelling list of reasons, we'll look into it. "being an asshole" or "vaguely slimy" != count

  12. Errata: Veracode Spam

    I received copies of this mail to errata[at]attrition.org, a contact address at OSVDB.org and DatalossDB.org. A quick Google search showed it was also sent to mail lists that it wasn’t appropriate for. Blatant spam. My reply to Veracode follows.

  15. Hey @veracode .. why is a (formerly) reputable security company spamming? Sending it to errata@attrition saved us time though.
