For those of you who use SEP, do any of you apply the rapid release definitions?  We had done this once in the past due to a bot outbreak we had, but the clients were affected afterward and could not update beyond the rapid release definition.  It looks like there is another worm outbreak and have seen reports of some users receiving spam email with a *.html attachment.  They have addressed this in the rapid release definition.  Does anyone apply these and is it good practice to do in general?

There is new worm that is really nasty that was released yesterday.

From CERT:

US-CERT is aware of public reports of malware spreading via email.
These reports indicate that the malicious email messages contain the subject line "Here you have" or "Just For You" and contain a link to a seemingly legitimate PDF file. If users click on this link, they will be redirected to a malicious website that will prompt them to download and install a screensaver (.scr) file. If they agree to install this file, they will become infected with an email worm that will continue to propagate through their email contacts.

Agreed.  Happy 4th to my fellow Americans. 

Reading is fundamental...

By the way, I vote for Sil for this month.  Just my unsolicited opinion.

Agreed.  Sil, you truly are an asset to this site.  Thank you.

Thanks, Don!  Happy Father's Day to all.

OK folks, here is my dilemma:  we have a requirement to have employees take a HIPAA security test for HIPAA training and am not sure how it applies to temporary employees.   One scenario that was brought to me was what if there is a temporary employee who works for one day, a couple of days or one week; do they need to take this training?  HIPAA guidelines are not very clear and concise in my opinion. 

I just want to make sure that we are covered and fulfill the HIPAA requirements for security training.  Has anyone been in this situation before?

Thanks all!

So you used braindumps to pass the exam?

Most definitely.  I have used this product before and it is top-notch training.   

Congrats you three....VERY well deserved!

Thanks everyone and especially Don.  Now I have no excuses to get off of my butt and pass at least Sec+.  What a great prize!  Congrats to impelse and pizza1337 as well!!!

The OWASP site should have a plethora of web app scanning vulnerability results and statistics.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and go out and pass it the next time. 

A little (actually a lot) of preparation would have helped and you wouldn't have had such a deer in the headlights look when taking it.

BillV is right, you should have kept it to one thread.  Amazing how the finger is pointed at us for you failing it.  When you point the finger at someone, there are three pointing back at you.

You my friend have just officially made my day.

 

Hordakk:  That is some good stuff.  I love HeMan too!  I fondly remember Hordak.

Dengar is my favorite character from Star Wars and 13 is the day of the month I was born and my lucky number.
