Today Google released a long awaited update  for Google Sync that finally allows users to not only push their Google Calendar and Google Contacts to their Exchange  enabled devices, but now their Gmail account as well! It’s the ultimate package we’ve all been waiting for, we can all finally have our Google calendar, contacts, and email delivered seamlessly to our phones. Officially, this update only supports Windows Mobile devices and iPhones. However, theoretically the Gmail push should work with any Exchange enable phone. You can read more about the update on the Google Mobile Blog.

Adobe Flash Zero-Day Vulnerability


July 24th, 2009


There’s a new zero-day vulnerability in the wild that exploits a security hole found in the very popular Adobe Flash 9 & 10 Player. With the introduction of Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Reader came the ability to embed/view Flash animations in PDF documents. Technically, this vulnerability affects Adobe Acrobat on all platforms. However, attackers have only targeted PC users at this point.

Attackers are exploiting this newly discovered security hole by embedding malicious Flash content in PDF files and then sending these infected documents to victims. Once the victim opens the infected PDF file, a data stealing trojan is then loaded onto the victims PC. Adobe announced today that a patch to fix the security vulnerability will be released next week. So what do you protect yourself until then? We’ll tell you how! Read full article »

Google Chrome OS


July 18th, 2009


I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the upcoming Google Chrome OS so I’m going to give everyone my thoughts on it, and also answer a few common questions I’ve been receiving. Google Chrome OS is not an entirely new operating system built from the ground up. It’s really not going to be anything more than just a new distribution of Linux.

A new distribution of Linux in itself really isn’t exciting news or anything special.  New and totally free distributions of Linux are released to the general public on an extremely frequent basis. The problem with Linux as a desktop operating system is that for the average person even a trivial task like installing a new program can be daunting if not impossible.

Password Management


July 16th, 2009


Yesterday it was reviled that the password for an administrative assistant’s email account at Twitter was compromised. As a result,  secretive company documents were leaked to the web. Additionally, the CEO’s wife had her  email account compromised and so was their personal Paypal account. You can read all of the details here. Compromises like this are certainly embarrassing and can happen to anyone from any company.

This brings me to my next point, not only should your password be strong but your hints to reset your password should not be easily guessed. If you have your hometown, birth date, and your mother’s maiden name on your Facebook page, an attacker is going to exploit this information for their benefit. You can never be too careful! Last week we posted a link to a great website that assesses password strength.

So now that you have super strong passwords (and super secret password hints!) how in the heck do you manage them all? We’ll tell you how! Read full article »
