It’s day three from the RSA cybersecurity conference in San Francisco and #RSAC shows interesting observations from the Twittersphere. If the first couple days framed the discussion, mid-week brings attendees the nitty gritty of cyberattacks. And news. It brought a fair amount of news. 

1. Folks are learning about new attacks. (Why so scary? In this case, 33 percent of all HTTPS servers and 22 percent of those with browser-trusted certificates are vulnerable).



 

2. Cybercrime is such big business, there’s hacker infighting. 

 



3. This is not just a commercial cybersecurity conference.

 



4. But RSA is a nice opportunity to get private sector engaged with top government officials.

 



5. And it’s also a nice place to remind folks that we’re not the only country paying close attention to cyber. Our adversaries are as well.
