Things that Spaf thinks are interesting. This includes the CERIAS Weblogs, his personal blog ramblings, and other items found on the WWW and elsewhere. Material here is mostly related to issues of cyber security, cybercrime and privacy; public policy towards computing; and some of the more bizarre items of behavior that get documented in the news. Also, some news about me, about USACM and about CERIAS. Occasionally, some silly items may find their way here, too.   Share | Tumblr (3.0; @spaf)http://blog.spaf.us/<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/mar/07/britain-fends-off-cyber-attacks"> Britain fends off flood of foreign cyber-attacks | Technology | The Observer </a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/446733475http://blog.spaf.us/post/446733475Sat, 13 Mar 2010 22:22:25 -0500<a href="http://www.travolution.co.uk/articles/2010/03/12/3325/tripwire-raises-concerns-over-payment-card-security.html"> Tripwire raises concerns over payment card security compliance - T... </a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/446730561http://blog.spaf.us/post/446730561Sat, 13 Mar 2010 22:20:54 -0500<a href="http://www.krebsonsecurity.com/2010/03/fbi-online-fraud-costs-skyrocketed-in-2009/">FBI: Online Fraud Costs Skyrocketed in 2009</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/445540426http://blog.spaf.us/post/445540426Sat, 13 Mar 2010 10:35:30 -0500<a href="http://spaf.wordpress.com/2010/03/13/mix-and-match-publishing/">Mix and Match Publishing</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/445451847http://blog.spaf.us/post/445451847Sat, 13 Mar 2010 09:32:29 -0500<a href="http://wp.me/pkQ5F-3s">Mix & Match Publishing</a>: <p>Splitting up my newsfeeds</p>http://blog.spaf.us/post/445275828http://blog.spaf.us/post/445275828Sat, 13 Mar 2010 07:03:14 -0500<a href="http://gcn.com/articles/2010/03/15/update2-malicious-analysis-isp.aspx?s=gcndaily_120310">Malicious systems of a feather flock together -- Government Computer News</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/444701712http://blog.spaf.us/post/444701712Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:42:03 -0500<a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9169658/Update_Security_industry_faces_attacks_it_cannot_stop?taxonomyId=13&pageNumber=1"> Update: Security industry faces attacks it cannot stop</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/444661107http://blog.spaf.us/post/444661107Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:20:37 -0500<a href="http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20100311/NEWS10/3110351/-1/networking/State-Web-site-breach-tied-to-foreign-attacker">State Web site breach tied to foreign attacker | desmoinesregister.com | The Des Moines Register</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/443640144http://blog.spaf.us/post/443640144Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:48:25 -0500<a href="http://www.networkworld.com/news/2010/031110-zeus-botnet.html">ZeuS botnet code keeps getting better… for criminals</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/443638092http://blog.spaf.us/post/443638092Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:46:51 -0500<a href="http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/why-bob-maleys-firing-bad-all-us-031110">Why Bob Maley's Firing is Bad for All of Us | threatpost</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/443636090http://blog.spaf.us/post/443636090Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:45:22 -0500<a href="http://www.acm.org/usacm/weblog/index.php?p=781">Charles Thacker Recognized With 2009 ACM A.M.
