It is time for me to do another SANS mentor class. Are you interested in Computer Forensics? Then this mentor class is for you. With the rise in data breaches it is imperative that all organizations develop an in house Incident Response and Computer Forensics program.
Starting on Tuesday October 13th I will be Mentoring the SANS Sec 508: Computer Forensics, Investigation, and Response Program.
Fell free contact me with any questions you may have.

Earlier this week RIM, the makers of BlackBerry, released a new vulnerability that scores rather high on the CVSS scale. In case you are not familar with CVSS this score is rather high.
It is recommeded that you either patch or apply the workaround as outlined in the RIM advisory.

This week contained the proverbial MSFT patch Tuesday, this set of patches contained 8 advisories patching items from Internet Explorer, MS Office Components, Windows Explorer, etc.. So in all this was a pretty heavy Black Tuesday for MSFT.
The Fail
As MSFT was releasing their patches another group of people were releasing their own little bug. On Tuesday morning as the patches from MSFT were being released several online publications starting reporting a new IE 0day exploit in the wild. All the publicity started here at PC World and from there it just rolls down hill.
The flaw was made public in Chinese language discussion forums two days ago by a security group called the Knownsec team. In tests, it worked on IE 7 running on Windows XP, Service Pack 2.
Since the initial report out of PC World the news starts to spiral out of other media outlets. However nothing good gets published until HD Moore does some really good analysis on the exploit over at the Breaking Point Security blog.
Defenses
Until MSFT releases a patch for this I would recommend switching to another browser.
