Funny
we don't hear more about these breaches.

Goldman - eSecurity PlanetJeff Goldman - “A recent
survey of 599 security executives at utility, oil and gas, energy and
manufacturing companies in 13 countries has found that 67 percent
have experienced at least one security breach in the past 12 months
that led to the loss of confidential information or the disruption of
operations. The survey,
conducted by the Ponemon
Institute and sponsored by Unisys,
also found that 64 percent of respondents anticipate one or more
serious attacks in the coming year — and fully 78 percent
anticipate an attack on their organizations’ industrial control
systems (ICS) or supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
systems within the next year.”
For
my Ethical Hackers. Own the signature, own the signer.
–
sign documents anywhere or get anyone’s signature for free. Need
to sign a document? Need to get someone’s signature on a document?
SignNow makes it easy to do both for free. Upload a document and
sign realistically with your finger or with a photo. People won’t
even know your signature was electronic.
Interesting,
but I ain't buying it. I'd much rather pay for performance, which in
banking would include measures of trustworthiness.
CalPERS
Ex-CEO Buenrostro Guilty Plea Explains Why Bankers Make So Much Money
The
ex-CEO of CalPERS, Fred Buenrostro, has just pleaded guilty to
accepting doucers, cash bribes and fees for placing investment
business with a specific firm. The economic point that this helps us
elucidate is why bankers and fund managers make such vast incomes
normally. It’s a concept called “efficiency
wages”. Essentially, when stripped right down, if
people are handling or responsible for a large amount of money then
pay them very well. So that it’s not actually worth their trying
to do anything naughty, the risk of losing that high income is
greater than what they can gain by being naughty.
For
my entrepreneurial students. See? It doesn't have to be a new
technology (or potato salad). Once upon a time, every bedroom in
America had an alarm clock and a radio. Panasonic made millions by
combining them into one device.
A
Guy Raised More Than $3 Million On Kickstarter By Reinventing The
Cooler
An
Oregon man who set out to reinvent the familiar cooler you take to
the beach or on camping trips has already raised $3 million for the
project, and
his fundraising effort is on track to possibly beat the
Kickstarter record, The Oregonian reports.
Launched
just four days ago, Ryan
Grepper's "Coolest Cooler" has raised $3.2 million of
his $50,000 goal, and he still has 48 days left.
Besides
the aesthetically pleasing design and it being able to keep drinks
and food cool, it includes just about every possible feature you
might want to have for a fun day out:
It
has a built-in ice crushing blender, storage for plates and a knife,
bottle opener, USB charger for your electronics, Bluetooth speaker to
listen to some tunes, and even an LED light so you can fish out a
drink in the dark.

my students who still have a working XP machine.
