Security News Update - 20/11/2011

So I have decided to add a new section to my blog, Information Security News updates....

 This could be done daily, weekly or monthly, depending on what's new... I will try to summarize all the news, and add links to extra details...

 * We are getting more and more reliant on computers in our lives, and actually many things we depend on and take for granted are based on computers... For example, hackers destroyed a pump used by a US water utility as explained in http://goo.gl/uWVUu.... How about that?

 ** Hackers also hit oil, gas, and defense companies in Norway Link: http://goo.gl/uuNdM

 *** There's a new campaign on Twitter, with #worstpassword ... Check out some of the worst passwords you could choose for your accounts, and then some "jokes"

 **** Facebook's new feature, the timeline, has been subject to an attack via XSS (cross-site scripting)... (I will explain what that is in some future blog) Link: http://goo.gl/UOYBc
