-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 One good story and one very bad story to open this issue: The bad news first: Microsoft's monthly security bulletin, released Tuesday, includes seven "critical" vulnerabilities and three "important" vulnerabilities. That translates directly into an overload of "critical" tasks for everyone responsible for trying to secure Microsoft software. And how long do we have (days, hours?) until Internet worms start exploiting these Microsoft programming errors? The bulletin is posted at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms04-oct.mspx Now for the better news: Last week we told you about the first 2004 Computer Security Leadership Award which went to Congressman Putnam and the staff of his subcommittee. The second 2004 award was announced last Friday in London. It goes to the United Kingdom's National Infrastructure Security Co-Ordination Centre (NISCC) for succeeding at developing trust between industry and government to such a high level that information sharing is really happening. Both awards are described at http://www.sans.org/press/isla100804.php *************************************************************************
