“Strategic Product Management” is, first of all, a buzz word. A hype, if you want. But that doesn’t mean that you don’t need it. Most technology companies have a product management department that should act as the “voice of the customer” on one side and translating their finding into requirements on the other side. I won’t […]
This scam is sent by CHTAH.COM platform which is known to send millions of spam emails. You can see its added “value” by inserting the three colored rectangles on top of the mail. “iPhone 7 Testers Wanted!” is trying to lure the readers to a website that looks very much like the times.com website.

Everything of value has a cost. The same applies to security! I recently flew to Berlin for business purposes with a known airline. As I was the first one checking in, I was asked if I want the seat near the emergency exit. This is, usually, the place where you have more space for your legs. So, […]
IRS(Internal Revenue Service) is the official authority in the USA to collect taxes. “Why would someone phish them?”, you may ask. That’s why:(see red area below).

39 fixes are supposed to be delivered via iOS 8.3. Areas like KeyStore, Drivers, Backup, Kernel, Certificate Trust Policy, Networking, Lock Screen, Safari and the WebKit, and many more are being fixed.

In general, I use an anti-advertisements filter in the browser. Now I use AdBlock for Chrome. It is available for FF and IE as well. But, what […]
After Heartbleed, a new security vulnerability in SSL is making headlines and producing again headaches for security experts. As any good and mind blowing (for most people) vulnerability, it has a nice name – FREAK, a CVE number – CVE-2015-0204 and a dedicated website https://freakattack.com/ . FREAK – Factoring RSA Export Keys – affects around […]
This post appeared originally in: IT Security blog: http://itsecurity.co.uk/2015/03/spam-malicious-taste/ I haven’t seen in a while a well done complex spam with malicious payload. This one appears to be addressed to first name of the email recipient. As you can see in the subject, it is addressed to “SORIN” since my email address is sorin.mustaca@… The […]
After installing Adobe Shockwave Player from here I am presented with this offer. I don’t want to use Norton, so I unselect the checkbox. I actually read the text, well, most of it – the part which is visible, as you can see below. By clicking on the only button visible, I agree with the […]
BSI (Federal Office for Information Security) published “IT Security Report 2014” (in German), a document with 40 pages of information and reports on cyber security. Probably the most interesting parts of the reports are those in Chapter 3.3 – Security Incidents in the industry. 3.3.1 reports about an APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) attack on a steel […]
