  • Gates predicts death of the password - Gates, speaking at the RSA Security conference here on Tuesday, said: "There is no doubt that over time, people are going to rely less and less on passwords. People use the same password on different systems, they write them down and they just don't meet the challenge for anything you really want to secure." RSA is working with Microsoft to develop a SecurID technology specifically for Windows. Both companies agreed there is a need to remove the vulnerabilities associated with employees using weak passwords. SecurID is the best-known two-factor authentication system and is used by many large enterprises. It generates a constantly changing sequence of numbers that a user has to type in alongside their normal password or PIN.
  • Latest Mydoom variant deletes files - The variant, dubbed Mydoom.F, not only tries to perform a distributed denial-of-service attack on the Web sites of Microsoft Corp. and the Recording Industry Association of America, but has a destructive payload that deletes document and picture files, according to researchers at Helsinki's F-Secure Corp.
  • AOL Blocks ICQ Worm - America Online has taken steps to stop the spread of a worm that began attacking ICQ instant messaging users this week. The fix, which was implemented on Wednesday, was applied to ICQ's servers and does not require any action from ICQ users, according to an AOL spokesperson. Virus researchers first detected the worm Tuesday. Dubbed "Bizex," the program spreads through instant-messaging exchanges, a less common method for viruses than e-mail transmission.
  • Hidden Gamespy code leads to vulnerabilities in diffused games (BF1942, Halo, Dredd and more) - The code now object of this research is just the SDK that Gamespy gives/sells to games developers to implement the online management and validation of games cd-keys. The worst thing of this SDK is that it uses simples "security through obscurity" methods to hide informations to the same users who use these vulnerable games (any existent type of demo, retail and dedicated server) so this advisory will also clarify these shameful methods avoiding that these users like me continue to be joked.

I risk repeating myself, but there is no doubt that over time, people are going to rely less and less on passwords. Instead they will rely on Microsoft-web-authentication so you can prove to yourself that you are you to other people. =D

Wow! It's good to know Bill Gates visits this website. Thanks for the heads up Bill.

LOL! What's Gates gassing on about? Passwords already can't keep hackers out of Windows. ;-)

The reason for my statement is because my publicity advisors recommend I start talking tough about security. Obviously I can no longer talk about Windows(tm) XP(tm) being the most secure Windows(tm) ever because it only draws attention to some minor "setbacks" we're having here at Microsoft(tm). (Tip: Don't outsource your security modeling to programmers in India!) SO, instead I am redirecting attention from the issues with Windows(tm) XP's security to the lack of secure passwords being used. Effectively I am blaming the common user for Windows(tm) security problems, which is not only personally satisfying but it feeds my egotistical conquest for more power. I am tempted to keep talking about me, because I'm an interesting topic to write about, but I'll resist for now because security is the important issue here. The reason for employing RSA is because we are partners "in bed" with them... for a price of course. Also, this meets one of our longterm strategic goals of becoming the leader in smart-chip technology, such as printing a barcode or implanting a chip in each persons forehead or forearm. This proposed future Microsoft(tm) system is codenamed "M.O.T.B"(tm) which has a secret and special meaning very dear to me. I can't share that with you now, but someday I will. But until such as time as M.O.T.B(tm) arrives, i will continue to pursue my goal of making sure every desktop PC in the world runs a (licensed and fully-paid for) Microsoft Operating System(tm). I hope you have enjoyed this personal statement which you won't read in TIMES or the Microsoft(tm) TechNet(tm) Journal(tm). Where ever you want to go today, I hope it is a nice day(tm).

Hey good news about GSA.. I read a early version of this guy cutting down GSA.. glad to say he made it further and its more exposed. GSA is a huge security vulnerabile application and GSA has ignored this guy. But I do know some devs of GSA and they have always been nice and polite to me... but either way, good to hear.
