F-Secure
This blog covers any kind of malware that spreads, and often has useful screen shots so you
know exactly what to watch out for.
Microsoft Security Resource Center (MSRC)
Run by the team that puts out Microsoft Security Bulletins, this is where you’ll get early
notification of what they plan to patch each month. After Patch Day, get more in-depth
explanation of Microsoft vulnerabilities at their
Security Vulnerability R&D
blog.
SANS Internet Storm Center
A great place to look for the earliest warning of emerging threats, especially if you prefer facts
over FUD. The “Handler’s Diary” is updated at least every day, sometimes more often.
The Security Skeptic
Dave Piscitello is a very knowledgeable security consultant who currently works as a Fellow of
ICANN’s Security and Stability Advisory Committee. His seasoned observations of network
security range from small-scale practical tips to questions about how to keep the Internet
working for decades to come.
Sunbelt
Sunbelt makes anti-spyware and anti-spam products, which means they survey the malware
scene every day. This is the spot where we often first hear of new threats. Though this is one of
the earliest places a new problem might be reported, the information is fact-based and reliable.
