Here's some of the reading we've done today.

Phishing:
If you're interested in Phishing, check out this post at ZoneLabs. They have a cool photo of a box of cash. Lots of hundred dollar bills. The image's metadata is still intact.

For those of you interested in mobile issues:
Earlier this week, an employee of Wal-Mart was fired for listening in on phone calls and intercepting text messages. The calls were between Wal-Mart staff and a news reporter. Slate magazine's Ask the Explainer answers the question: How Do You Intercept a Text Message?

Over at CNet, Robert Vamosi looks into evil twin attacks using a mobile phone rather than a laptop.

Patches:
Microsoft published their Advance Notification bulletin yesterday. There are no security updates scheduled for next Tuesday… They must have been busy enough with the Daylight Saving Time change in the US this weekend.
