Criminals like Blackberry too

Saw an eWeek story this week about how bad guys heart BlackBerry for, surprise, the same reasons that good guys do. As far as I can tell, I'm the only one in my group, and possibly my whole office, with a Blackberry. It's nice to see this validation of its on board encryption versus the RCMP.

Take that, iSnobs.

Debian OpenSSL: Very broken

If you like to transmit secret messages to/from Debian Linux-based hosts (like Ubuntu and friends), you will probably want to pay attention to Ubuntu's bulletin and the corresponding Ubuntu Forum thread.

Dammit all.

This guy spent the morning ranting that "vendors are bad for security." I think it's more appropriate to get specific, though; non-cryptographers are bad for cryptography.
