We collected the 10 best tweets related to an IT security event in 2014.

Today’s software packages have become so huge and complex that stacks of patches issued one after the other are increasingly common. This has consequences for system administrators.

The recent developments with “big bugs” such as Heartbleed and Shellshock created a global security strain, with many questions emerging. Both bugs were open-source software-related, but indirectly they would constitute a threat to Windows-based infrastructure. In this post we review a few scenarios of an attack on mostly Windows-based network with Linux servers at certain points.
