potential-xss-in-php-sample-page

It has been brought to our attention by the team at ush.it that the sample.php page in our PHP Network Client has code that could have been exploited via an XSS attack. The sample page is not part of the network client itself, it is just provided as an example of how to add two-factor authentication to PHP applications.

problems-with-the-pci-security-standard

Mark Curphey has some thoughts about the problems with the PCI security standard and it looks like he is just getting started. I would like to also point out a comment left by an anonymous poster (probably because he or she makes a living doing PCI audits) in a previous post on PCI:

The problem with the Visa PCI standard is that Visa/MC have a vested interested in keeping the business flowing. The entity that is responsible for answering Visa is the issuing bank. The retailer is responisible to the issuing bank. The reports are filed with the issuing banks and shared with Visa. The problem with this structure is that all parties have a financial interest in keeping the business flowing. It takes a serious public violation, like card systems, for Visa/Issuing Banks to drop a vendor.

deperimeterization

Over on Not Bad for a Cubicle, Thurston has a post discussing deperimeterization and the recent Jericho Forum meeting he attended.
I think my favorite quote of the day came from Nick Bleech, CSO of Rolls-Royce, who said, “Deperimeterization is happening. It’s not a strategy, it’s an ‘-ization.’ It’s like globalization–it’s happening.”

debunking-two-factor-authentication-debunked-by

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.
