I´m returning to Ashley Madison again. It has turned out that the information has been released and the damage for the company is massive to say the least. Not only is a truckload of customer information put into the wild with extortion, threats and news exposure flaming up everywhere but even worse (if possible) is […]

I started out in this field many years ago, more or less 1998 give or take a few years depending on your definition of security. Each year I have found the work to be harder and harder with more and more to learn and rising complexity to manage. Quite a few friends and former colleagues […]

It may come as no surprise that Ashley Madison has been hacked again. It is that type of site that some people find offending, hence becomes a target just because it exist. This hack was a lot more severe and they are threatened to close their site completely otherwise a lot of data about their […]

There are times when I wonder why I even started working with security. Today is such a time. I´m currently working at a proposal for Security as a service. Yes, it´s doable but it sure is a struggle to cover everything that’s needed. Gladly it´s not a fixed price offer but only a framework from […]

Most of you have read the news of what happened to Sony Pictures. A truly devastating attack where ransomware, or to be more precise a Trojan with ransomware and other devastating payload, played a crucial role in the mayhem. When I talk with my peers not all of them fully understand the possibilities that ransomware […]

2015 will be the year when we will see large scale attacks of ransomware here in Sweden. Why? Because we saw a lot in US during 2014 and Europe is ripe for harvesting. I had a chat with a large company in Sweden recently. Their security department is struggling with implementing protection but there is […]

As you may have notice I spend a lot of my time ‘Up in the air’, still haven´t seen Gorge though. 😉 I always sit in the aisle seats, mostly to be able to leave the plane quickly after landing, but sometimes to watch who is working with what. Even in the year 2015 people […]

It´s early in the morning the day after New Year. I wonder if there is anyone that will read this within the following hour? 😉 The third trait that´s important to me is being a team player. We are here to help our clients becoming and staying secure. Focusing on solving everything by yourself and […]

The second thing I look for is curiosity. That trait will help you finding new ways of attacking, new ways of protecting and all in all help you find all the information you need and more. If you have grown to know everything there is in the field and has stopped studying you will quickly […]
