Web Security Review

The Photo Express service is currently only officially offering by Adobe to those in the US, but we successfully accessed and used it from the UK (although we did have to claim to be from the US to do so). To those using the Photoshop Express service from outside the US, the Adobe has warned them that they will find it painfully slow but we found it fairly slick. Later in the year plans are in place to officially launch Photoshop Express in other locations.  My Photos section offers 2GB of space and we started uploading photos, and we were able to organize images into albums or leave them loose in the library, then it was on with the editing.

The same group of people that initiated the contest, “PWN to Own” is at it again this year in Vancouver, as they will put Linux, Leopard and Vista to the test as to who will sustain the least damage the best.

Security researchers that will be able to hack these systems will get a cash price of $10,000 and a shiny, brand-new, titanium-cased Mac Book Pro (MBP).

According to CanSecWest organizer, Dragos Ruiu, “The fur is flying right now about which is more secure–Linux, Vista, or Leopard… Linux guys have their propaganda, Windows guys are saying this and that, Apple guys have buried their heads in the sand as usual. I guess the proof is in the pudding.”

The ninth annual CanSecWest conference will be held from March 26 to 28 2008, at the Mariott Renaissance Harbourside hotel in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia.
