Reporting for Duty
Welcome to UnsafeBits, a blog discussing the latest in security research and documenting the ongoing development by cybercriminals of techniques to compromise and control the computers of the unwary.
Hacking and security research have always been about the journey, not the destination. In this, I hope to be your tour guide into the world of academic research, corporate development and criminal exploration of a variety of facets of computer security.
