Masks obviously work. However as someone who is profiting greatly off of the current state of idiocy that we are experiencing in the US, thanks to your mindset, I ask that you please continue to stick your head in the sand. We're going to lose a couple of years because of this, but I will take the money.

Submission + - Miami Cop Doxes Innocent Woman, Anonymous Doxes Cop Back (softpedia.com)
An anonymous reader writes: After a woman saw a cop speeding down the freeway without a siren, she pulled him over and told him to stop going so fast. The cop's police union chief decided to take the woman's private details and put them on his Facebook account, asking friends to "call her." Of course, harassment ensued. Now, Anonymous hackers have doxed the police union chief back as payback. For once, these hacktivists did something useful.
Submission + - New HTTPS Bicycle Attack Reveals Details About Passwords From Encrypted Traffic (softpedia.com)
campuscodi writes: Dutch security researcher Guido Vranken has published a paper [PDF] in which he details a new attack on TLS/SSL-encrypted traffic, one that can potentially allow attackers to extract some information from HTTPS data streams. Attackers could extract the length of a password from TLS packets, and then use this information to simplify brute-force attacks. The new HTTPS Bicycle Attack can also be used retroactively on HTTPS traffic logged several years ago. Hello NSA!
Submission + - Need a Security Monitoring Company That Accepts VPN'ed Video Feeds 2
mache writes: My cousin is finishing up a major remodel of his home in Houston and has installed video cameras for added security. At my suggestion, he wired up all the cameras to be on a separate VLAN that only uses wired Ethernet and has no WiFi access. Since the Houston police will only respond to security alarms if the monitoring company is viewing the crime in progress, he must arrange for the video feed to available to a security monitoring company.
I told him that the feed should use VPN or some other encrypted tunneling technique as it travels the Internet to the monitoring company and we proceeded to try and find a company that supported those protocols. No one I have talked to understands the importance of securing a video feed and everyone so far blithely suggests that we just open a port on his home router. Its frustrating to see such willful ignorance about Internet security.
Does anyone know of a security monitoring company that we can work with that has a clue?
