But what if there were a way to stop this madness and secure the browsing channel itself? Read More     FREAK attack: How to keep your code secure   Bill Weinberg, Senior Director, Open Source Strategy, Black Duck SoftwareRemember the 1990s, when the Netscape browser was all the rage and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption was a brand-new idea? Back then, the U.S. government wanted to control the export of "weapons grade" encryption. Its theory was that domestic communications could benefit from stronger, 128-bit encryption, but "backdoors" should be available to U.S. intelligence and law enforcement when it came to foreign communications. Thus, the concept of weaker, "export grade" encryption was born.Fast forward to 2015 and it turns out that this legacy backdoor, a vulnerability that we've come to know as "The FREAK Attack," still exists in anywhere from a quarter to a third of all deployed web servers. It's a sad example of how zombie security holes from the era of grunge fashion can return to bite us. The question is: what to do now and how can you ensure your code is safe?To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   Best new Android & Windows smartphones at MWC 2015 Best at MWC 2015Samsung, HTC, Sony, Microsoft and others are using the annual Mobile World Congress (MWC) event in Barcelona to debut their latest smartphones and other gear.
