Securing Your Web Browser
Browser security and browser vulnerabilities are big topics that I soap box about all the time to customers about just because it's the most attacked vector of the user's computer (other than email).
Today I found a fantastic article explaining the importance of securing and using a safe web browser as well as goes over many details of why your browser needs to be secure and how it is exploited!
The article was written by the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team and is the best and most thorough explanation I have ever come across! This is an excellent, definite MUST read article!

Twitter Got Hacked... Again !
"I just learned that Twitter has contacted the FBI so i decided to delete all my posts."
What does it take for a company to realize,
Here is a brief list of the security incidents I have read about Twitter since the dawn of the new year...
(In the best chronological order I could put them in!)

Why Attack Twitter!?
Hackers attack Twitter, Facebook also slows down
Twitter meltdown raises questions about the site(s) stability
Twitter Attack Looks Politically Motivated
Twitter and Facebook DDoS attack 'targeted one person'
Twitter still recovering from DDoS attack
Twitter definitely needs to get their act together! Especially with a month of investigative exploitations down, now a DDoS attack; what's next!?!?
Even if they finally "Batten Down the Hatches", safe online user account security practices are always a must when you any online or user based website; especially social networking web sites!
You always want to secure your account to the gills and try to avoid using "web apps" and similar Java & Flash applications. (like Quizzes, User2User Games, etc.)
With our world's growing dependency on computers, we also need to be growing the security and safeguarding of the personal information that the world stores on these systems.
