A recently released report by the Hurwitz Group labels buffer overflow
attacks as a significant threat to web security. These 'news' articles
then go on and on about how great SECURED by Memco is. This new
software incorporates the patented technology of Stack Overflow
Protection (STOP) which claims to relocate system stack memory to
random areas. So now instead of forcing vendors to write better code
you can pay more money to fix a problem that shouldn't be there in the
first place.

Yesterday HNN broke the story about FAO Schwarz leaking the personal
information of its customers onto the web. After completing an
online form FAO offered its customers two options, pay online or print
out the form and mail or fax it in. It was this second 'Offline'
option that had problems. By changing the 'userid' field in the URL
you could view any ones personal information who had purchased items
at FAO and chose the 'Offline' option. Name, address, email, and phone
number information was available.<br>
FAO failed to respond to several emails from HNN. The misconfigured
script continued to be accessible for most of the day yesterday but
was finnally fixed after Wired ran their version of story.

Last month HNN reported that Florida was selling its drivers license
photos to a New Hampshire company to create a consumer anti-fraud
system. After three attorneys filed suit a Judge terminated the
contract. The Nashua New Hampshire based company, Image Data LLC, has
already purchased DMV records from Colorado and South Carolina and
plans to continue marketing its product.

Customers of Aladdin Software Systems are crying foul claiming that
the company does not respond to security problems with its products.
Aladdin manufactures hardware dongles to prevent software piracy.
Aladdin customers are claiming that the HASP series is widely known to
contain security flaws but that the company refuses to fix the flaws
costing the software publishers millions of dollars in pirated
software.
