A Snapshot Of Zynga?s Financials: Revenues Grew 392 Percent Last Year To $600 Million
Zynga finally filed for its IPO today, and we now we get to take a look at its financials. At a high level, the company made nearly $600 million in revenues last year, and $90 million in profits. It grew at an incredible pace, with revenues growing 392 percent in 2010, up from $121.5 million in 2009 (and up from $19 million in 2008). In just the first quarter of 2011 alone, the company's revenues reached $235 million (or a $940 million revenue run-rate), and that was up 134 percent from the first quarter of 2010.
Security firm RSA attacked using Excel-Flash one-two sucker punch
The exploit, which used specially-crafted Flash embedding in Excel spreadsheets, was first reported on March 15 and has since been fixed. RSA was hacked sometime in the first half of March when an employee was successfully spear phished and opened an infected spreadsheet. As soon as the spreadsheet was opened, an advanced persistent threat (APT) -- a backdoor Trojan -- called Poison Ivy was installed. From there, the attackers basically had free reign of RSA's internal network, which led to the eventual dissemination of data pertaining to RSA's two-factor authenticators.
The attack is reminiscent of the APTs used in the China vs. Google attacks from last year -- and indeed, Uri Rivner, the head of new technologies at RSA is quick to point out that that other big companies are being attacked, too: "The number of enterprises hit by APTs grows by the month; and the range of APT targets includes just about every industry. Unofficial tallies number dozens of mega corporations attacked [...] These companies deploy any imaginable combination of state-of-the-art perimeter and end-point security controls, and use all imaginable combinations of security operations and security controls. Yet still the determined attackers find their way in."
What we'd like to know, though, is whether the attack on RSA was caused by Adobe's lackadaisical approach to patching Flash -- or was it the other way around? Was it the RSA attack that first brought the zero-day vulnerability to Adobe's attention?

The US Group Buying Universe [Infographic]
While the debate as to whether group buying as whole is a viable business model rages on post-Groupon S-1, there's no doubt that these social deal things keep sprouting up -- Yesterday someone introduced themselves to me as the CEO of a Groupon for moms (and yes I thought it was a good idea). We've got Groupons for techies, a Groupon for Jews, what will there be a Groupon for next!? Wait, please don't answer that.
