WatchGuard Security Week in Review: Episode 41 – Coke Cracked

November 9, 2012 By Corey Nachreiner

Coca-Cola Cracked, Fawkes Day Fail, and Lots of Updates

This week’s security news round-up includes a story about an old Coca-Cola network breach, the results of Anonymous’ Fawkes Day fiasco, a little Twitter password hiccup, and lots of software security updates. If you have a little extra time on Fridays to catch up on the latest information security news, watch the video below.

Of course, if you have no time for videos, and would prefer to pick and choose your news items, see the Reference section below for link to all this week’s security headlines.

Show Note: I will be out for vacation starting the middle of next week, so will not be posting any WatchGuard Security Week in Review videos for the next couple of weeks. See you again at the end of November, and stay frosty out there.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find
    this topic to be really something which I think I would
    never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
    I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

    Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam comments?
    If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you
    can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving
    me insane so any help is very much appreciated.
