PlayStation 3 security fully compromised
http://www.norman.com/security_center/security_center_archive/2011/134142/en-us

That's actually pretty cool.  Wouldn't mind the ability to throw another OS on my PS3.  The thought of making it more of a media center would be nice as well.  Guess we'll see what the community brings in the coming months.

Gawker Password Theft a Wake-Up Call

Analysis: Underestimating your own vulnerability is a recipe for disaster.

Quote

The big story was that over the weekend of Dec. 11-12, Gawker admitted in a post on its various sites— which include Deadspin, Fleshbot, Gizmodo, io9, Jalopnik, Jezebel, Kotaku and Lifehacker, as well as Gawker itself—that its central password database had been compromised. It seems that the Gawker IT organization had used the long-obsolete DES to encrypt the password store, had ignored at least a month’s worth of warnings that something fishy was going on, and had let its production servers get about three years behind on kernel patches. In short, the company’s IT crew had utterly failed at its job.
