Schneier recently posted that MS has included Dual_EC-DRBG in Vista.

This is the kind of writing I hope will continue to be the cornerstone of RDM. Good job.

It’s interesting that Digg still hasn’t flagged the article as “may be inaccurate,” and it’s still on the front page.

It looks like like Empowered has issued a “mea-sorta”:

“UPDATE: It appears from Digg comments that verbose booting shows this is Back To My Mac communications and that machines without any .Mac preferences don’t send anything. Mystery mostly solved, although we still don’t know for sure what’s in the HTTPS packets. Additionally: Chris Holland points out there’s a chance this might be NAT-PMP traffic. The moral of the story is guard your COMSEC well with tools like Little Snitch. ”

That’s funny, I thought the moral of the story was “don’t believe everything you read”.

What about signing with at least a yellow-attention flag the EFF foundation… for “potentially suspicious behavior,”

Digg is the all time premier tool for communicating rubbish to the ignorant and gullible…

But to be fair to Digg, Dan, I did notice that lots of people attributed the call out to the “Back to My Mac” feature. The Digg people aren’t as bone-headed as many people think, and just to even things out, there was also a big stink about an auto-update function in Vista for, what else, the auto-update software in Vista, which Microsoft later confirmed as being innocuous.
