Google has released their awaited browser, Chrome, in beta. So far it looks to be a Windows-only, but that's likely to change.  In the short time it has been out, a few vulnerabilities have been discovered which isn't a big deal, that's what beta testing is for.  You can read the about half-dozen different ones on Bugtraq, for instance. The one area of concern I do have, is that they don't have a security page of noteworthiness.  The one they do have provies contact info, but nothing on current problems, where to download patches, or discussion of issues.  The biggest feature that any software developer should include is support information, especially when the software being developed is a web browser.  Other than that, there isn't much to say about Chrome except to wait and see (and to research) on what it does right and what it does wrong and if those privacy concerns out there are really something to worry about.

There is an e-mail that went out from GIAC to complete a survey.  It uses an IP instead of a name, but the IP points to SurveyMonkey, a third party that was used.  This e-mail is legitimate and not a phishing attempt.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
