You may have noticed that I removed the SBN (Security Bloggers Network) badge from my blog and that the SBN Feedburner site has not been updated in several weeks. Well, Alan Shimel has officially moved SBN over to Lijit. Lijit is kind of like FriendFeed but is really more about searching, linking searches, and putting your socnets together. It should be interesting to see how Lijit will improve distribution of the SBN site content. You can check out the new SBN here. If you haven’t checked out the large list of blogs that belong to the SBN…you really should! Lot’s of great security bloggers are on the list.

Analysis of a new Facebook phish

I just posted an article for Blogsecurify about a new Facebook phish that I stumbled upon. Thanks again to Greg and Tyler for helping out with some of the detailed analysis! You guys rock!
Fighting the good fight!
Hey…I actually found a few minutes for a quick blog post!
Just a quick post to check out the report that my friend and malware researcher Greg Feezel was mentioned in a report over at Hostexploit.com. He contributed data to this report. The report was on the McColo web hosting firm which is apparently responsible for sending 75% of spam world wide! If you didn’t know, McColo was taken offline a few days ago and there has been a massive decrease in spam across the Internet. If you want more information on McColo check out Brian Kreb’s article here. Brian is actually one of the guys that helped shut this firm down based on some of the reporting he did.
Goes to show you that we can do some good as security professionals if we all work together!
