its a bit of a teaser though as they will be "revealing all" at the hack in the box convention in Amsterdam. If anyone's going, I'd love to hear what the revelations are.

There's also a tool on their website:

to test if you are vulnerable to "binary planting" attacks from an internet source. I havent had a chance to test it out and see what it comes back with.
