Featured Articles: The Rustock takedown
Featured Articles
"The Rustock takedown was the second major botnet takedown Microsoft has spearheaded within the last two years. In 2010, Microsoft asked for and received a court order that shut down a number of malicious domains used by the Waledac botnet. (See the Security Intelligence Report website for more information.) As part of that effort, Microsoft filed a John Doe lawsuit against the anonymous operators of the Rustock botnet, based in part on the abuse of Microsoft trademarks in the bot’s spam."

Researchers demo cloud security issue with Amazon AWS hijacking attack
Researchers from the Horst Goertz Institute (HGI) of the Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB) in Germany have demonstrated an account hijacking attack against Amazon Web Services (AWS) that they believe affects other cloud computing products as well.
The attack uses a technique, known at XML signature wrapping or XML rewriting, that has been known since 2005 and exploits a weakness in the way Web services validate signed requests.

1. Substance – First and foremost, the content items you post need to be substantive enough to make it worth the reader’s time. Keep in mind that “substantive” doesn’t necessarily mean “long”; in fact some articles might even be too long for online publication. It means that the content you’re creating adds standalone value to the page. In other words, people can read this one page and get something out of it.
