Brand Damage versus Corporate CompetenceYesterday, Tim Erlin had an interesting and very thought provoking post about breach and brand damage.. Tim rightly takes offense at the idea of the infinite "brand damage" often used to sell information security products. With as little as infosec geeks know about marketing, it's probably best to avoid that phrase altogether. A "brand" is a nebulous idea at best and security probably does not matter at all in most brands. I think it is also hard to try to tie stock performance to brand value. There a lots of great stocks that sell commodity goods. If Exxon/Mobil had a security breach when oil was at $30/barrel, how would you measure the impact of the breach as oil goes to $60?

Hackers on Tuesday hijacked the Web site CheckFree.com, one of the largest online bill payment companies, redirecting an unknown number of visitors to a Web address that tried to install malicious software on visitors' computers, the company said today.First, I find it very hard to believe that you would hijack the domain for one of the world's largest payment processor and only try to install malware.

I'm sure everyone (in security) has seen the article at Security Focus about the T-Mobile attack and probably some of the great commentary about it, especially here.
I only have one comment: Everyone write your bank, cellular company, credit card company, utility companies and tell them that you want strong authentication and you want it now.

I'm always explaining what my company does to laymen and to some technical peoptle who look confused when I say that that WiKID does two-factor authentication. However, I am surprised that a security researcher and Trend Micro would not know what two-factor authentication is.
