Lose a domain … or make a wrong redirect? Which is the best?

in Internet

It was quite a few months the rumour about Berlusconi’s, his empire and the “Bunga Bunga” parties was ceased, but it was just a temporary pause. As of today the television giant operating in Italy has a new record: they have lost their domain name because they forget to renew it. A big lack from the Cologno Monzese company and for Berlusconi itself, which has seen their domain reassigned to a merchant selling backup solutions in Delaware (US).

Is SSL protocol really secure?

in Internet

Three days ago a group of German Hackers officially released a new DDoS tool (Denial of Service) that exploit a weakness in the SSL protocol in an attempt to encourage the industry to reinforce the security standard adopted by the protocol and make citizens safe and secure again. This is quite interesting, especially considering that it is not the first time this happens. In the past three years 3 major vulnerabilities have been found in the protocol. At this stage, I want to reconnect this claim with the recent Google “privacy statement” and the change they made, implementing the SSL protocol to serve their results (which among other things pass an altered referrer creating other troubles). I’m sure a company like Google was aware about the SSL vulnerabilities, so once again, why they attempted to make foul the community? Technorati Tags: SSL Protocol, Security
