=== Verizon Data-Breach Study ===
=== Phrack 66 ===
Verizon Business released a very interesting report on [http://www.verizonbusiness.com/about/news/displaynews.xml?newsid=25135&mode=vzlong&lang=en&width=530 data breaches in the enterprise].
Phrack 66<ref>http://www.phrack.com/issues.html?issue=66</ref> came out this week. If you're not aware, Phrack is the longest running hacker zine, it's impressive that after more than 20 years, it's still going.
Their findings are quite interesting, but two things especially stand out:


* Insider threat has decreased substantially.
=== Firefox 3.0.11 ===
* 90 percent of known vulnerabilities exploited had patches available for at least six months prior to the breach.
Yet another security update for Firefox was released, be sure to update, it's important.

It seems that the single most important thing an administrator can do is to keep their system updated.
