Craig Young, security researcher writes:

“This is a huge month for Internet Explorer updates with a total of 59 CVEs being resolved. Amongst these MS has released a fix for an IE 8 bug which was reported through HP’s Zero Day Initiative back in October 2013. Although no attacks have been detected in the wild, the ZDI advisory has given attackers a head start understanding this vulnerability, possibly reducing the time required for researchers to reverse engineer the fix and devise exploit code.

Belfast, UK: Guardian24 has confirmed that it’s US subsidiary - GuardianMPS - has enabled the Division of Family Services (DFS) in the State of Delaware to become the first state-wide agency to adopt its award winning Mobile Personal Safety (MPS) solution. The GuardianMPS solution effectively transforms a broad range of cell and smart phones into a personal panic/alarm device. With GuardianMPS the user can call in to enter a start and end time for their appointments. If the user ‘overstays’ their current appointment, GuardianMPS will contact them to confirm all is well. When a worker is unable to enter a PIN or enters a duress code then the system moves to ‘alarm status’. GuardianMPS can then dial into the phone (while it appears to be off), listen live to what is happening, and advise the police or relevant responders as needed.
