Serious Security Holes Found in Siemens Control Systems →

Stuxnet apparently didn't have to work too hard. There's also a easter egg HTML page with dancing monkeys. Gotta love the Black Hat security conference.

H. Parker Shelton

I'm just an ordinary thirty-something who's had some extraordinary opportunities. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University, work for Microsoft in Silicon Valley, code websites and applications, take the occasional photograph, and keep a constant eye on current events, politics, and technology. This blog is the best of what catches that eye.
