crimeware

Info for IT pros, get ready to download the latest audio at CStechcast.com.  Crimeware is the focus this week, as we interview expert Markus Jakobsson, author of Crimeware: Understanding New Attacks and Defenses. In the news; Adobe gives a preview of the new Acrobat 9 integrated with the new acrobat.com web site, Microsoft warns on the monthly round of patches, spear phishing catches 15,000 big fish, AMD starts to make a serious notebook push with Puma, Opera one ups the browser competition in the fight against malware, and we review the latest rumor mill around the next generation Apple iPhone. Spying end users for targeted ads is first place in "The Worst Tech Move of the Week" and "The Weekly Tech Tip" gives the accidental SQL DBA some great pointers.
