Security Vulnerabilities 
cisa kev vulnerability prioritization
cisa kev vulnerability prioritization Most Linux teams don't struggle to find vulnerabilities anymore. They struggle to decide which ones deserve attention first. Between daily scanner results, vendor advisories, and hundreds of new CVEs each month, the challenge isn't visibility—it's prioritization. . To solve this, organizations typically lean on the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. But these aren’t competing lists. They answer two entirely different questions. While the...

Desktop Securitysecurity advisory vulnerability
security advisory vulnerability GNOME is officially shortening its standard vulnerability disclosure window from 90 days to 30 days, a change that impacts upstream maintainers, downstream Linux distributions, and system administrators in how they handle software vulnerabilities. The policy shift, announced by long-time security coordinator Michael Catanzaro , addresses modern software patching realities and a growing influx of automated submissions. . Because GNOME is the default desktop environment on several major Linux...

Today, Git servers are responsible for deployment pipelines, API tokens, SSH keys, package repositories, and the automation scripts that push code directly. Confirm that the upgrade addresses known vulnerabilities but also provides production environments. .

Server Securitydata privacy automation
data privacy automation Every system admin has lived through the same Monday morning ritual. A queue of forty tickets, half of them password resets, permission errors, or disk space warnings that any experienced technician could resolve in under two minutes. The other half require actual judgment. For years, automation promised that software would eventually sort the two apart on its own. That promise is now being tested in production Linux environments. . Early results are reshaping how IT teams think about tier-1...

data privacyconsumer electronicsuser trackingAffordable Smart TVs: Navigating the Challenges of Data Privacy Risks
Massive TVs with razor-thin frames, brilliant image quality, and streaming services built-in are more affordable than ever thanks to companies like Vizio and TCL. If you want a 65-inch 4K smart TV with HDR capability, one can be purchased for below $500 - a surprisingly low price for such a massive piece of technology, nonetheless one that's likely to live in your home for years before you upgrade.. But that low price comes with a caveat most people don't realize: Some manufacturers collect data about users, then sell that data to third-parties. That data can include what type of shows you watch, which ads you watch, your approximate location, and more. The link for this article located at BusinessInsider is no longer available. .

security risksdata privacyconsumer electronicsCES 2014: Trends In Wearable Tech And Data Privacy Concerns
Paraphrasing the song made famous in the 1960s by The Troggs and wonderfully updated by Bill Nighy in "Love Actually" Big Data is really all around us. We are making more and more data about ourselves available to a broader audience. But what if that data is stolen? Is it useful to anyone?. A look at the new products coming from this year's Consumer Electronics Show is proof that 2014 will be the year that wearable technology moves from The Valley of the Geeks in Main Street. Google Glass is perhaps the most feted piece of wearable tech but there are dozens of wristbands that track our activity, apps that we can log our meals in and devices for capturing all manner of biometric data. Intel even released an earbud that tracks your pulse and reminds you get more exercise. The link for this article located at CSO Online is no longer available.

security advisorydata theftconsumer electronicsDiscovering Security Flaws in Internet-Ready TVs Leads to Data Theft
New York: Researchers at Mocana are being troubled with their recent discovery of an easy way of hacking into a best-selling internet-ready HDTV model. The security technology company in San Francisco easily discovered a loop hole in the software that shows Web sites on the TV and used that as an opportunity in order to gain a control on the information being sent to the television. . By doing this, it becomes a cakewalk for them to put up a fake screen for a site like Amazon.com and then request for a credit card billing detail regarding the purchase made. This strategy also enables them to monitor data being sent from the TV to sites, reports Ashlee Vance from the New York Times. "Consumer electronics makers as a class seem to be rushing to connect all their products to the Internet," said Adrian Turner, Mocana's chief executive. "I can tell you for a fact that the design teams at these companies have not put enough thought into security.".

data privacysecurity featuresprocessor securityCell Broadband Engine Processor Security Architecture and Features
As computers and consumer electronics devices become more connected, platform security becomes increasingly important for everyone from consumers to businesses. For consumers, privacy of data such as credit card numbers and social security numbers have always been of concern, but now new technologies such as voice-over-IP and personal video blogs bring new privacy concerns. And for entertainment content owners, piracy is a major concern as they move toward a virtual form of TV and movie content delivery (see Resources). . Within this context, the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) (see Resources for more references) offers a processor security architecture that provides a robust foundation for the platform. Until now, because most processor architectures did not provide any security features, security architects relied on software-implemented approaches to provide protection. However, protecting software with software has a fundamental flaw in that the software with the protector role can be compromised as well. Therefore, processor hardware, which is intrinsically less vulnerable than software, needs to be re-thought and re-architected to support the security of the platform. The Cell BE architecture is designed with this goal in mind. Because its designers were given the rare opportunity to design a processor from the ground-up, security is an integral part of the processor architecture and not an after-thought.

It's catching on slower than expected, but more companies are signing up In February, 2003, electronics giant Motorola Inc. (MOT ) stunned the mobile-phone business with a bold change of course. During the industry's annual shindig in Cannes, the Schaumberg (Ill.) company announced the world's first handset built around the Linux operating system and unveiled plans to use the populist software in consumer phones from then on. Pundits saw this as a slap at Symbian Ltd., the London software consortium Motorola co-founded five years earlier with Nokia Corp. (NOK ) and Ericsson to develop software for feature-rich smart phones. It was also a major lift for Linux, the grassroots operating system that until then was used mainly on servers.

"Breaking Seal Voids Warranty" - to most people, this little sticker affixed to consumer-electronics hardware might as well be a law of nature. They plug in their gadget and turn it on but would never dream of opening it up. To some, though, that little sticker is a challenge. People with the curiosity and technical expertise often crack open the cases to find out what goes on inside those mysterious gizmos - and sometimes make them work better. Two products in particular have become popular with hackers lately: the ReplayTV and TiVo "personal video recorders." These VCR-like machines save and play back television programming using hard drives rather than videotape. By adding a larger hard drive to a Replay or TiVo, a hacker can double or even quadruple the number of shows their PVR can record - a $250 drive can boost an older Replay box's capacity from 20 hours to 80. Some hackers go even further with tricks like adding an Ethernet card for networking to a computer or enabling PAL-format video output for use in other countries.
