A number of new papers have been added to the white papers page:
- Cristian Borghello's "Playing Dirty" is a translation of his original Spanish paper, available on the ESET Latin America web site, and describes in detail how criminals make money out of stealing online gaming credentials and assets.
- My paper Social Security Numbers: Identification is Not Authentication expands on a recent blog, dealing with the fact that Americans are often expected to share their SSNs inappropriately, and asking what are the security implications, and how serious are they?
- Keeping Secrets: Good Password Practice, by Randy Abrams and myself, deals with the vexatious question of how to create good passwords, and how to look after them. http://www.eset.com/download/whitepapers/EsetWP-KeepingSecrets20090814.pdf
By kind permission of Virus Bulletin, here's also an article that was published in the magazine in March, a review of Michael Miller's "Never Mind Having Fun: Are We Safe Yet?" (also one of mine).
