Fri, 07/23/2010 - 17:53
This week's show is a cracker, and it's brought to you by our brand spanking new sponsor Research In Motion, makers of the Blackberry.
In this week's show we're taking an in depth look at the Stuxnet malware and the hideous, unpatched .lnk bug still affecting Microsoft systems. Paul Ducklin joins us to chat about that.
Ed Curtis from Research in Motion will be along in this week's sponsor interview to have a chat about some of the mistakes people make when rolling out Blackberry Enterprise Server, stay tuned for that.

To be fair I don't really
To be fair I don't really think that's what he was saying. He said people were going a bit overboard in terms of locking the device down, simply because they can. Just because you can turn off a million features doesn't necessarily mean you should turn them *all* off.
It's funny when I think about it... you get heaps of control over IE8 these days but people don't tend to lock down browsing environments as much as they should. So why the discrepancy? Why do people basically brick their BlackBerry fleet in the interests of security but let their browsers do pretty much anything?

I guess people are less
I guess people are less likely to get drunk and leave their PC's in a pub / taxi / bus :)
Bit weird to hear Ed Curtis complaining that people are making their BlackBerrys too secure..
