that Madison Street Provider Network, Inc., dba Omni
Eye Specialists, Spivack
Vision Center, Madison
Street Surgery Center, Madison Street
Anesthesia, and Madison Street Company Nurse

tuned, as there’s no notification on any web site(s) yet.
Just
in time for the start of my Intro to Computer Security class.
Data
breaches reach record levels in 2014
In
2014 so far, there have been 568 data breaches involving more than 75
million records, of which 56 million occurred at Home Depot stores,
according to data released
by the Identity Theft Resource Center.
The
data breach at Home Depot Inc. was the largest ever in the history of
the retail business globally, beating last year’s 40 million at
Target Corp. in 2013, and 45.6 million at TJX Companies Inc. in 2007.
Of
the 568 breaches, 247 (43.5%) were in the medical &
healthcare sector, which posted a total of 7.14 million
records taked, or 9.15% of the total.
The
business sector accounts for 63 million records
breached out of the 75 million so far this year, or 84% of the total.
There
were 23 banking/credit/financial breaches involving
172,320 customers’ records, which is only 0.2% of all the records
hacked.
There
were 62 government/military breaches involving 2.748
million records hacked, or 3.7% of the total.
In
education, there were 41 breaches, involving 1.526
million records taken, representing 2% of the total.
“Oh
look, another slice of technology we can add to our product without
considering the implications!” (It's not just Corvette designers
making this mistake.)
Corvette's
'valet mode' is illegal depending on where you live
When
we took the Corvette
Performance Data Recorder for a spin at CES this year we'd never
have guessed that the system could cause a run-in with Johnny Law.
As it turns out, the
system's audio recording feature that activates when the car's put
into
valet mode doesn't jive with privacy statutes in a handful of
states. In fact, using it could be a felony depending
where you live. Chevrolet, for its part, is apparently attempting to
skirt any legal issues that may arise by notifying dealerships and
giving them letters to pass out to customers. The correspondence
alerts owners about the possible privacy issue, as noticed by
Jalopnik when a sample was posted to
Corvette Forum.
A
question for my students. What should you pay someone who brings
$200 Billion in assets to your company?
Bond
King will hope for a great start at Janus
…
Come Monday morning, Gross will join Denver-based Janus and next
month will take over its Unconstrained Bond Fund, which was only
organised in May. Janus is an asset management firm once known for
picking hot internet stocks.

A
chance to teach reciprocals! 'cause I'm pretty sure I've done 24
pull ups in the last 4182 months... (Yeah, I know. His was measured
in hours. I'm trying to be believable here.)
Math

the pull up world record. He made 4182 pull ups in 24 hours breaking
