In conjunction with the solar maximum, the Canadian Space Agency has, unadvisedly, launched a Website called AuroraMax. This is making Webcam images of the aurora borealis available to anyone in the world with an Internet connection and a browser. Have your business continuity plans been updated to deal with the fact that star- struck employees are going to be mooning (you should pardon the expression) over these images, and increasingly so as the solar storm reaches it's height? http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2010/09/20/auroramax-north-astronomy.html http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronomy/auroramax/default.asp ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rsl...@vcn.bc.ca sl...@victoria.tc.ca rsl...@computercrime.org [I]f a man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell... you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his house. - Ralph Waldo Emerson (some seven years after his death, Emerson's comment on quality was altered to the now famous dictum on innovation, that if you built a better mousetrap the world would beat a path to your door) victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/slade/index.html http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
