Questions Remain Following RSA Cyber Attack->

Submitted by wiredmikey
wiredmikey writes "After notifying customers on Thursday that it had been breached after hackers mounted a highly sophisticated cyber attack that has put its SecurID product at risk, RSA has yet to expand on the details and potential impact of the attack, leaving customers concerned and with many questions.

In the meantime, reactions are pouring in from customers and the information security community in general, some saying to prepare for the worst, and some brushing it off as not-so-serious incident."

Comment: Not PCI compliant (Score 1) 136

by 12ahead (#34815556) Attached to: Vodafone Customer Database Breached

How the heck do they get away with having retrievable credit card details in their db? Once the CC# is in the database it shouldn't be retrievable.

How many places out there don't actually follow this simple rule?

Where I work we were worried that the banks may turn off our credit card processing facilities if we don't get PCI compliant. And that is maybe 1/40 of the customer base.

I am really puzzled - how does Vodafone get away with this in the first place? No audits?

The update, rated critical, plugs security holes that could lead to code execution vulnerabilities if a Mac user is tricked into opening audio files or surfing to a rigged Web site."

I hear it occasionally, and I find it fascinating, because by making that statement the person is actually implying some massive presuppositions. They include: * Belief that life is intelligently controlled by an ethereal power * Belief that they are part of a "grand" or "divine" plan Are these people just whistling in the dark? Too afraid to face the terrifying prospect that life is chaotic?"
