These are weekly reviews of the reports from CERT. Nothing too horrible this week, but I provide more insights into what to look for and why.

3 Reasons IT Pros and Informed Computer Users Should use CERT
The US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin is a tool that provides frequent alerts on threats that affect computer technology. It is an essential tool for individuals in the business to see in one place the majority of known security risks affecting an extremely broad range of platforms and technologies. Here are # reasons why every IT person should review this list weekly:
- The list is not platform specifc and covers everything from drivers to your Mac or PC software and OS.
- It is sorted by the range of how critical the vulnerability is including High, Medium and Low.
- The layout is very logical and a basic description of the problem, scoring, links to info and to patches.
So if you’re serious about IT security or just wish to be more informed, the US-CERT bulletins can make you much more informed as to where the risks are. Don’t rely on the latest news of the hacking of Google accounts to learn about the issues, it’s already too late then.
