Wired’s ThreatLevel reporter David Kravets is reporting the announced delay in deletion of user content (aka files…) on Megauploads’ storage facilities in order to provide enhanced retrieval of files by the respective owners… Wise decision, on a number of levels.

Excellent write-up by NextGov’s Bob Brewin, discussing the highly focused efforts committed by United States Department of the Navy’s Space and Naval Warface Systems Command [SPAWAR] personnel targeting ship-board information assurance systems.
“…Last year, the Navy installed host-based security systems on 348 ships to monitor, detect and deter network cyberattacks. Rear Adm. Jerry Burroughs, program executive officer for command, control, computers, communications and intelligence at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command headquartered here, said SPAWAR remains “crushed” by demands from the fleet to maintain a secure environment for Navy computers, which he considers his top priority…” - via NextGov’s Bob Brewin

News, of significant flaws in the latest Linux Kernel, of which, lead to an ordinary user privilege escalation of rather enormous implications, the holy grail of operating system attacks: Root. The vulnerability, identified in the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s National Vulnerability Database as CVE-2012-0056, specifically is a kernel flaw which permits unfettered access to the “/proc//mem” file. Torvalds patch was committed to the official Linux kernel repository 2012/01/17, but not in time to beat the distribution of the appearance on-line of exploit code. Oops.

News, of the United States Department of Defense’s [DOD] apparent acceptance of Google Inc. (NasdaqGS: GOOG) Android operating system based devices on the DOD SIPRNet network. The National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST], coupled with input from the DOD are both involved with finalizing standards related to the device platform acceptance.

Absolutely phenomenal United States Navy Photograpy, this time, a CH-53E Super Stallion captured by Petty Officer (2nd Class) Alan Gragg. Outstanding.
