Head For the Hills! Protect Your Computers! It's BLACKHAT/DEFCON!!!
Yes, the drumbeat of potential security threats is getting louder as Black Hat goes into session, followed by the some-what-less professional and more drama-scene laden DEFCON.
At Black Hat, Sipera's (www.sipera.com) VIPER lab is going to demo a VoIP exploit through an enterprise softphone, showing how hackers can take control and delete/steal data from a laptop. They are also going to review various Wi-Fi/dual-mode phone threats presentation on Wednesday. Expect to see a lot of headline grabbers on that presentation.
There's a whole day's track at Black Hat dedicated to VoIP/voice security on August 1. I'll have to make nice with the PR people at B-H and see if they'll send me the hardcopy conference notes (Nico! Oh, Nico!...)
