Ruby Update for SSL Vulnerability
An update has been released for the SSL vulnerability reported in Ruby. From the site: "All Ruby versions are affected". The Ruby update also contains a patch for a DOS vulnerability; check out the details here.
Physical Security in the Cyber World
Why is physical security at least as important as technical security? As a colleague and friend once explained some years ago “physical security trumps all”. If we lose the physical security of a device, we have truly lost ownership. We often talk about systems and applications being owned by bad actors, and the l33t skillz employed to gain these prizes. We cannot lose sight of the fact that a smash and grab is still an effective way to gain access to your data. Some of the top security firms operating today will often demonstrate the weakness by actually physically penetrating the office/datacenter/DCO, returning with images of the days headlines next to your assets.
A friend of the ISC, Sean, pointed out an instance while I was reading an old example of physical security facilitating the compromise, or possible compromise, of data. A prison facility under construction in Iowa lost physical control of a laptop that had the blueprints of the prison, which is slated to house Iowa’s worst offenders. The other example was a story related to tapping of fiber optic cables. The tapping of fiber optic cables is not trivial, but one thing has to occur before the tapping can happen: Physical access to the cable.
Summary: When the CIO comes to you and says “physical security of the enterprise is now in your house”, be prepared.
Website Issues
We are having issues with our website at this time, and are looking into the cause. Thanx for the feedback and supporting the ISC.
Update: The layout is back to normal.
We have also heard from Android users about issues with SSL on our website. It appears that the Certificate Authority used to sign our SSL Certificate is not recognized by Android. We don't have a fix for this right now (short of getting a new certificate). This is a well known issue with Android and will hopefully be addressed by Google in future Android patches.

distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
