In this article I'll cover what Exposure Management is, how it stacks up against some alternative approaches and why building an Exposure Management program should be on  your 2024 to-do list.

Jul 30, 2011
#RefRef - Denial of Service ( DDoS ) Tool Developed by Anonymous Anonymous is developing a new DDoS tool which is said to exploit SQL vulnerabilities to support the group's future campaigns.

So now the .js is in place on the host of the site. Next s

Nicolas Sarkozy's official Elysee Palace website Hacked for 'Get Him Out' Game

Jul 29, 2011
Nicolas Sarkozy 's official Elysee Palace website Hacked for ' Get Him Out ' Game Hackers have attacked Nicolas Sarkozy's official Elysee Palace website to create a game video game called ' Get Him Out '. Under the formal banner introducing the site, a cartoon image of the French president was pictured on a go-kart heading towards the gates of the palace. For each click on a Facebook 'like' button beside the game, the French leader moved one step closer out into the street. The instructions to the game read: " The more you click, the faster we can get little Nicolas out! ". The Elysee palace confirmed a hacking attack had taken place on Tuesday night, but that the 'problem' had been fixed by 7am on Wednesday. A spokesman added: " The hackers took advantage of an old software system to temporarily re-route the welcome page.
