Comment on Call Center Recordings – Version 3 by Emma Jenkins

Emma Jenkins — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:08:45 +0000

Hi,

With the recent changes in the PCI’s FAQ on call recording in contact centres, Veritape has written a white paper for companies seeking to understand the ramifications for them.

The FAQ in question is: ‘Are audio/voice recordings containing cardholder data and/or sensitive authentication data included in the scope of PCI DSS?’

Having clarified the wording in January, it looked as if the PCI SSC had finally established a clear definition of what constitutes PCI compliance in call recording. However, less than a month later, the wording was revised again, leaving companies who record telephone conversations and handle sensitive payment card data potentially confused.

If you’re interested in reading a little more, please do so here http://www.veritape.com/2010/02/pci-dss-compliant-call-recording-in-call-centres-latest-changes-to-faq-by-pci-ssc-on-18-feb-2010, where you can also request the white paper titled: ‘PCI SSC update on call recording and call centres’.

Thanks,

Emma

Comment on Critical Control 17: Penetration Tests and Red Team Exercises by Jeff | Personnel Security

Jeff | Personnel Security — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:17:53 +0000

The specter of criminal insurgency is haunting the police stations and barracks of North America. Powerful criminal networks increasingly challenge the state’s monopoly on force, creating new threats to national security. Mexico is currently deteriorating under the weight of criminal violence,1 but it is by no means the only state in the Americas suffering from criminal insurgency. We are seeing a general rise in the power of transnational criminal organizations ranging from the street collective MS-13 to the powerful Mexican drug cartels—and the threat could hit us very close to home. Even American street gangs are increasingly evolving into “third generation” gangs: large, networked, transnational bodies that may yet develop true political consciousness

Comment on GNU GPL malware?: Troj/JSRedir-AK by Nick

Nick — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 04:26:17 +0000

Yeah…
My computer somehow picked it up too just recently. In fact I had some virus that managed to get onto my server with go daddy and corrupted all of my php files (blogs). I literally had to wipe my computers hard drive plus I had to remove all of the blogs off of my server. Then a few days later I start getting reports from people saying that my websites, (html code), are being quarantined by their spyware protection software on their computers and saying that my site poses a potential threat. Now I’m gonna have to completely wipe out my whole server and start over fresh.
