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.krebsonsecurity.com/2010/03/microsoft-warns-of-internet-explorer-0day/">Microsoft Warns of Internet Explorer 0day</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/437961894http://blog.spaf.us/post/437961894Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:47:44 -0500<a href="http://www.krebsonsecurity.com/2010/03/monoprice-com-shuttered-after-fraud-complaints/">Monoprice.com Shuttered After Fraud Complaints</a>http://blog.spaf.us/post/437961909http://blog.spaf.us/post/437961909Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:47:44 -0500<a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9167598/FDIC_Hackers_took_more_than_120M_in_three_months?taxonomyId=17"> FDIC: Hackers took more than $120M in three months</a>: <p>They got a lot more than that!  This is only what was <i>detected</i> and <i>reported</i>.</p>http://blog.spaf.us/post/437079744http://blog.spaf.us/post/437079744Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:57:02 -0500<a href="http://securitywatch.eweek.com/vulnerability_research/researchers_claim_rsa_authentication_crack.html">Vulnerability Research -
