Celebrity Hacking

Slowhand

Just something my boss came across today, and I thought I'd share. It's an interesting article, especially for those of us looking at information security, and especially those studying up for security certs. It's easy to be caught unaware, especially when it happens gradually, over time.

Tried using the SSL version of the generator...

That website's security certificate doesn't sound legit. Or is it just Microsoft being the retards they are becuse it wasn't signed by them?

very interesting article!

ironically, as I was reading this, they were talking about it on the radio. Passed it along to my security colleagues (pardon my spelling) as well, and enjoyed it

Thanks for sharing!
