Back in the good old days, we used to have to order physical servers to run our applications. When servers became too expensive, we found efficiency in virtualization. Why have one box running one server when I could have 10 or more on a single box? Who would have thought I could simply push a button and have a server ready in minutes as opposed to weeks?

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. We all know its great adding cool features to stuff, but what’s not great if its not thought through well enough so as to be a potential issue down the line. Looks like we have a bad idea which in retrospect is potentially out to get us…

During a penetration testing engagement, it’s quite common to have antivirus software applications installed in a client’s computer.
