A Reuters news service Twitter account appeared to have been hacked Monday, as the news organization suddenly began tweeting messages supportive of the Syrian president.
Gust MEES's insight:

More and more we see social media and other application sites on the Internet providing single sign-on (SSO) as a feature or service to their visitors.
I’m sure you’ve visited a site and seen an invitation to logon using your Facebook or Google+ credentials. Many times, these sites also encourage you to share articles to Facebook, Google, or other sites. Amazon recently joined this trend and announced Login with Amazon for their customers to use.
You undoubtedly enjoy the convenience of SSO. After all, it reduces the number of different accounts and passwords that you must remember, and that’s a good thing. Right?
Well, it’s not quite that simple. Any time a company offers you a SSO service, remember that their primary motivation is to find some way to monetize their relationship with you, the consumer.

"Everything is connected"
ENISA has launched its new corporate video clip. This six-minutes movie describes the role of ENISA in a world where "everything is connected" both privately and professionaly. Communication technology connects us to family, friends, banks, and other private and e-government services we all rely on. But the Internet is under constant threat, from crime, attacks and accidents. Spamhaus, Stuxnet, Flamer, High Roller to name a few of the sophisticated cyber-attacks that took place the last 3 years.
It is the European Union Agency ENISA’s job to work with prevention at EU levels in the field of cyber security. ENISA is working with governments, regulators and industry to assess risks and identify practical solutions to keep business, citizens and economy secure.
This way, we support the smooth functioning of Europe’s internal market.

Symantec helps consumers and organizations secure and manage their information-driven world.
The ISTR, which covers the major threat trends observed by Symantec in 2012, reveals that cybercriminals view SMBs as a prime target for stealing information. In fact, the largest growth area for targeted attacks in 2012 was businesses with fewer than 250 employees; 31 percent of all attacks targeted them, representing a threefold increase from 2011.
Getting a clear understanding of the dangers is an important step in improving security, and this year’s report is a wake-up call that SMBs are now being specifically targeted by cybercriminals.
