For all you who use the signatures supplied by Emerging Threats within your IDS deployment, time to pay attention!

Matt Jonkman over at ET, has announced that they will be making some changes to the way their rules are categorised which will result in you needing to change your configuration.

As these changes come into effect on the 2nd October 2009, if you use these signatures its time to plan what you need to do to keep your IDS doing what you think its doing.

For details, Matt has posted a detailed explanation over on the ET site.
