Russian
aid convoy checked; military vehicles mass near Ukraine
Dozens
of heavy Russian military vehicles massed on Friday near the border
with Ukraine, while Ukrainian border guards crossed the frontier to
inspect a huge Russian aid convoy.
Kiev
has said the humanitarian aid might be used as cover for a Russian
military intervention, and has insisted that its forces check the
convoy before it moves across the border.
Moscow
has denied any ulterior motives, but has allowed Ukrainian border
guards to enter Russia and look at the caravan of trucks in an area
opposite the frontier town of Izvaryne.
…
The Guardian reported on Friday that its reporter had seen several
APCs crossing the border with Ukraine. (bit.ly/1pbRpYg)
Asked
about the report, a Ukrainian military spokesman, Oleksiy
Dmytrashkivsky, said: "These movements into Ukrainian territory
take place practically every day with the aim of provoking (the
Ukrainian side). Last night was no exception. Some armoured
vehicles came across. We are checking on the quantity and the number
of people who came over."
Kiev
and NATO have said they fear Russia, which they say has massed more
than 40,000 troops near the border, will invade east Ukraine. Russia
says it is conducting military exercises and has no plans to invade.
It also denies supporting rebels in eastern Ukraine with arms and
funds.
Even
the government isn't that dumb, are they?
Law360
reports:
LabMD Inc. asked an administrative law judge on
Thursday to sanction the Federal Trade Commission for allegedly
having a “secretive relationship” with the source of a key piece
of evidence in its ongoing data breach case against the company.
LabMD
claims the FTC failed to authenticate a key piece of evidence
received from a data security company called Tiversa Inc. and its
affiliate the Privacy Institute.

Although
most of my FTC v. LabMD coverage can be found on PHIprivacy.net, I’m
posting this update here because it raises the issue of how the FTC
goes about verifying claims of breaches. Can they or should they
rely on the findings of third parties who claim to have found
evidence of breaches, and if so, under what circumstances might such
reliance be questionable?
I
find this very hard to believe. The process to remove ex-employees
should be very simple to implement. Are they actually saying they
have access to corporate information or just the Google Cloud?
Bulk
of Ex-Employees Retain Access to Corporate Apps: Survey
The
assets of numerous organizations are at risk because their former
employees continue to have access to sensitive corporate applications
even after they leave the company, according to a report published
Wednesday by cloud business applications provider Intermedia.
Rogue
access is an issue that affects not only large enterprises, but also
small and medium businesses, the 2014 SMB Rogue Access Study from
Intermedia shows.
…
The
study
shows that 45% of ex-employees continued having access to
confidential or highly confidential data and, worryingly, close to
half of the respondents admitted logging in to accounts after leaving
the company.

Nine
of ten people retain access to the file sharing services they used at
their old jobs, and 68%
of users are in the habit of storing work files in personal cloud

Google Search Strategies Every Student Can Use - Infographic
A
couple of years ago I published 10
Google Search Tips All Students Can Use. In that post I included
a small PDF to distribute to students. The folks at Canva.com
took a look at the post and turned it into a slick infographic for
me. You can view the infographic below. Click
here to download it from Box.com where I have it hosted.
Canva
is a nice tool for creating infographics, slides, and posters. I
featured it in a workshop in June. In this
post teachers in that workshop shared their ideas about it using
Canva and similar tools in school.
