  • Hacker summer camp wrapped up Sunday in Las Vegas, after a week of cons (Black Hat, BSidesLV and DefCon). Here is a good wrap-up of DefCon, which included talks on skateboard hacks and unlocking cars with a $32 gadget.
       
  • Apple is planning to fix a serious Mac OS X privilege-escalation zero-day vulnerability. 

  • A patch is now available for a major vulnerability in Firefox's PDF Viewer that could allow attackers to steal sensitive files. The bug was being actively exploited in the wild.

  •
