DatalossDB Winners Announced!

The Open Security Foundation's DatalossDB contest winners were announced this morning and I took 2nd place. They have a good write-up of the entries (of which, some were pretty humorous) and contain all the nitty-gritty details of the contest and their entries. If you are interested, go take a look. I was very impressed with how close the results were considering there was only one year separating myself from the 3rd place winner. But in the end, a little luck never hurts...

I will never buy Seagate again!

Posting has been non-existent lately due to the fact that I was hit with a major failure in a drive that was meant to be my new primary data archive. I lost 10+ years of work stuff, vacation pictures, security research, collections, etc... With Seagate's now infamous failure in it's 7200.11 series and my personal problems with this 7200.12 series drive, I'm convinced the company is facing some serious quality-control issues.

My apologies for the lack of updates and should be back to regular posting by next week...
