The “Louise” Boat? Oh, come ON….
For a second the co-host sounds like he might correct her, but then merely opines, “Who IS Louise Boat?”
Who, indeed.
…And I thought Bloomberg TV was bad with the “Lult-zeck” butchering. I need to start collecting these for a montage video. You know, just for the louise.

Hackers blind quantum cryptographers
via Nature via Liquidmatrix Security Digest:
The cunning part is that while blinded, Bob’s detector cannot function as a ‘quantum detector’ that distinguishes between different quantum states of incoming light. However, it does still work as a ‘classical detector’ — recording a bit value of 1 if it is hit by an additional bright light pulse, regardless of the quantum properties of that pulse.
That means that every time Eve intercepts a bit value of 1 from Alice, she can send a bright pulse to Bob, so that he also receives the correct signal, and is entirely unaware that his detector has been sabotaged. There is no mismatch between Eve and Bob’s readings because Eve sends Bob a classical signal, not a quantum one. As quantum cryptographic rules no longer apply, no alarm bells are triggered, says Makarov.
“We have exploited a purely technological loophole that turns a quantum cryptographic system into a classical system, without anyone noticing,” says Makarov.
Extra credit: Browse the resources from this comment, debating the pragmatic viability of quantum crypto, which relates directly to (among other things) the way these researchers were able to authenticate the message, but not validate the source.

My ongoing and rather unexplainable interactions with the guys over at attrition.org have resulted the launch of their tumblarz. You may refer to me as Web 2.0 Mistress. Muahahaha. …No really, I don’t mind.
So If you’re into caustic infosec rants, drunken tweets about “hacker culture” and/or bondage porn, and also perhaps squirrels, then you might consider following.

LIGATT: Liabilities and Lamers
(via ataferner)
Investing in penny stocks is not for the faint of heart. As such, accredited investors and bulletin board traders are typically aware of the risk of making bets on less established companies. If the company “makes it,” the rewards can be immense, and chasing this dream drives the market. Investment in firms like LIGATT Security International (LGTT.PK) comes with a heavy dose of caveat emptor, and the lack of transparency into company operations often leaves the investor to perform their own research and make decisions without a complete representation of the company’s true worth. The following information has been culled from publicly available sources such as filings with the SEC, OTCMarkets and state regulatory bodies, as well as web activity, forum posts and LIGATT’s own press releases. While this article is based on a considerable amount of research, many items have not been fully addressed in an effort to avoid undue speculation. If you have insights or comments, please send your thoughts via email to errata[at]attrition.org.

ZOMG the writing in this article is fantastic. Someone alert the Pulitzer committee, stat.

An Open Letter to Geeks and Nerds (Part 2)
Your “got root?” or “i read your email” tshirt is lame and tacky. They weren’t cute when they started showing up ten years ago, and they’re only getting more hackneyed and tired with age. You’re essentially wearing the comedic and cultural equivalent of a Garfield comic on your chest. You might as well make a shirt that says “LINUX! AMIRITE?” or “HEY GUYSE! COMPUTERS!” At the very least, it’d be less pretentious.

Is your facebook status “hacking and trolling IRC over a glass of wine?” Do you look for and take every opportunity to work in a (vague, yet obvious) mention that you’re a hacker? Then put up or shut up. Lots of people manage to be involved in Information Security without feeling compelled to constantly advertise the color of their hat. Do you see the guys at matasato or iSEC constantly tweeting about their ‘m4d 5ki11z?’ Nope, and there’s a reason for that; their work speaks for itself. People producing shit that matters either have something worthwhile to share and show it, or keep it under wraps and generally don’t advertise themselves at all. If you have over a thousand followers on twitter and haven’t released anything more insightful than “lol penetration testing” then congrats— you’re the Tila Tequila of InfoSec.
I met aloria at the last NYSec meeting, and she is a riot. Plus, I totally just got called out on my last tweet:
Deep down the rabbit hole of sekret research, drinking white wine, listening to Empire of the Sun. I love … Saturday night.
Then again, such posts are relatively rare for me, so I’m clinging to my dignity on this one.
