It took a little longer than expected, thanks to me being totally swamped post-surgery until now, but let’s congratulate our winners of a free year of Debix identity theft protection: myemailisvalid, Jay, and Brett.
I was reading one of Alan’s posts over at StillSecure, based on the Lending Tree debacle. He starts with a bit I totally agree with:

Thanks in large part to the Attrition.org data loss database, there’s recently been some great work on analyzing breaches. I’ve used it myself to produce some slick looking presentation graphs and call attention to the ever-growing data breach epidemic.

Do you care about virtualization security?

‘Boy, RSA was sure a blur this year. No, not because of the alcohol, and not because the event was any more hectic than usual. My schedule, on the other hand, was more packed than ever. I barely walked the show floor and was only able to wave in passing to people I fully intended on sitting down with over a beer or coffee and having deep philosophical conversations with.
