symantec

I don't know if that means that Symantec is blocking links to spotthedrowningchild.com due to detecting malware there or whether Symantec email filtering is just garbage.

I guess the author of the post, seeing someone defending what Symantec's doing, seems to have mistakenly assumed they are a Symantec employee.

This is pretty much free advertising for certsimple and an attack on some outdated Symantec webpage.

Something juicy like the analysis done by Symantec and Kaspersky.

While for Symantec - it would take one call and the backup keys to unencrypt your drive/snoop on you is in the hands of people who painted you a target.

Or even worse (Symantec VIP OTP) they generate a random key generated based on the device - so even if you reinstall it you can't get the same key back (according to reviews in the play store - updates have even triggered a regen of keys) - locking people out of their accounts because many services who use Symantec VIP access don't offer recovery codes.

If I had budget authority, I would've ordered something which could grab memory and disk images on a live system and sign-up multiple.edu researchers & symantec security group and equivalent shops under NDA to analyze them.

>Symantec chief researcher Eric Chien stated that provided a hypothetical keystroke logging tool was used only by the FBI, Symantec would avoid updating its antivirus tools to detect such a Trojan, echoing a similar stance Network Associates allegedly took with its McAfee anti-virus software earlier this week.

I have problems with several places that firewall the Comcast IPs - Symantec (messagelabs) is the worst because I don't know who uses their services until the message queue backs up and then I have to route around the damage.

"But blogs are buzzing this week about what two Symantec researchers * have called the first harmful computer program to strike specifically at Mac." 3.

The possibility of Kaspersky being a "stooge" for Putin is much less than the possibility of Symantec, Norton et all being stooges for US Government (well its a certainty actually) + all the arms of the octopus.

"Oliver Friedrichs, director of security response at * Symantec, a leading anti-virus software vendor, said 72 vulnerabilities were discovered in the Mac's OS X operating system in 2006, up from 19 in 2004." 2.

> As of two days ago, there is a hostile version of PuTTY A small correction -- from the symantec blog post: "this file has been in the wild since late 2013 and it was first seen in Virus Total around the same time.

Every major power has had at least one widespread computer espionage campaign discovered by Kaspersky, Symantec, Mandiant/FireEye, etc.

Symantec recently highlighted Flash for having one of the worst security records in 2009.

I'm not sure what the state of the customers are now that it has been bought by Symantec.
