January 2, 2021/in Computer Security

James Bond actors portrayed at Madame Tussaud's — Not stirred: This lineup at the Madame Tussauds wax museum in Berlin presents all the actors who’ve played James Bond in the legendary Eon Productions movies.

The James Bond movie franchise is a juggernaut, with 26 films to date (24 canonical, plus two rogues). From Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, it’s featured six different actors in the lead role, going up against countless power-mad villains and deadly accomplices, with no shortage of tricked-out cars and outrageous gadgets. Along the way, the 007 franchise has delivered both gems and clunkers.

It’ll be a while longer before we can see how the next Bond movie, No Time to Die, stacks up against its predecessors. That film, likely the final one to star Craig, has been pushed back more than once by coronavirus concerns, and now it’s scheduled to hit theaters on April 2.

While you’re waiting, you can satisfy your Bond cravings by revisiting the older 007 movies, from Connery’s debut in Dr. No all the way to Craig’s most recent outing, Spectre.

If you’re not sure where to start, check out our recommendations and full rundown on big-screen Bond. With the recent death of Connery at 90, you might be inclined to start out with one of his seven turns as 007. (You could maybe also play a vintage Bond video game, or ponder the upcoming “Project 007” from IO Interactive.)

Or you can also take a run through the ranking below of James Bond movies, from worst to best. It’s not arbitrary or one person’s whim — it’s based on an aggregate of movie reviews as compiled by Metacritic. The list…

Worst may be yet to come in SolarWinds hacking

December 18, 2020/in Internet Security

The first damage assessment of a sprawling cyber attack believed to be linked to Russia has been chilling enough.

With intrusions reported across a huge swath of the government – including at the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration – federal officials already are signaling that the worst may be yet to come.

The Department of Homeland Security’s cyber security unit has acknowledged that the full scope of the attack is not yet known, with an untold number of local government and private sector systems at “grave risk.”

Although federal authorities have so far traced the attack’s launch back to March, it remains unclear just how long operatives have been lurking in some of the government’s most critical agencies – including the departments of State, Homeland Security, Treasury and Commerce –and what may have been lost or compromised.

Because the attacks employed sophisticated tactics unseen in past intrusions, according to Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), eliminating the threat is expected to be even more difficult.

Where is the White House?

Most striking, perhaps, has been the White House’s silence as other parts of the government have been ringing the alarm about the cascading threat and the uncertain risk, raising questions about how the U.S. should respond.

Week in review: Most effective security practices, worst password offenders, Patch Tuesday forecast

December 6, 2020/in Computer Security

Here’s an overview of some of last week’s most interesting news, reviews, articles and podcasts:

Open source vulnerabilities go undetected for over four years
For its annual State of the Octoverse report, GitHub has analyzed over 45,000 active code directories to provide insight into open source security (vulnerabilities) and developers’ practices regarding vulnerability reporting, alerting and remediation.

How to reduce the risk of third-party SaaS apps
Third-party SaaS apps (and extensions) can significantly extend the functionality and capabilities of an organization’s public cloud environment, but they can also introduce security concerns. Many have permission to read, write, and delete sensitive data, which can have a tremendous impact on security, business, and compliance risk.

Why microlearning is the key to cybersecurity education
Microlearning and gamification are new ways to help encourage and promote consistent cybersecurity learning. This is especially important because of the changing demographics: there are currently more millennials in the workforce than baby boomers, but the training methods have not altered dramatically in the last 30 years.

Which security practices lead to best security outcomes?
A proactive technology refresh strategy and a well-integrated tech stack are, according to a recent Cisco report, two security practices that are more likely than many others to help organizations achieve goals such as keeping up with business, creating security culture, managing top risks, avoiding major incidents, and so on.

Hackers are targeting the COVID-19 vaccine supply chain
Unknown hackers have been trying to compromise accounts and computer systems of employees in organizations involved in the COVID-19 vaccine supply chain.

Review: The Perfect Weapon
Released at the peak of the US 2020 election campaign and just before the election itself, the documentary examines the harsh reality of today’s conflicts between nations, relying not so much on physical weapons but rather on attacking the enemy in a more stealthy and unpredictable way, with cyber weapons.

I’ve sent my worst enemies to Earworm Island

April 19, 2020/in Computer Security

Imagine marooning your worst enemy on a desert island, along with the four most terrible records ever made.

That’s the premise of a brand new podcast, hosted by technology journalist Geoff White.

And I’m his first guest! Not on the island, you understand. But I get to choose who I send to the island, and what tunes I torture them with.

Yeah, this isn’t security-related – but I figure we all could do with a break right now.
