Observations on articles I read to keep current about technology. My interests are: Privacy, security, business, the computer industry, and geeky stuff that catches my eye.
I don't think I have an agenda beyond my own amusement.
Note that I lump all my comments into a single post. This is not a typical BLOG technique, It's just an indication that I'm lazy.
A big Wall Street technology firm
is being sued after allegedly falling for a run-of-the-mill email scam and
wiring client funds to hackers.
SS&C Technologies, a $6 billion market
capitalization company that bills itself as “the most comprehensive powerhouse
of software technology in the financial services industry,” was duped by
China-based hackers who sent sloppy emails to company staffers in order to
trick them into releasing client money, according to a complaint.
The complaint from Tillage, a commodities investor,
alleges SS&C Technologies, its fund administrator, ignored its own protocol, resulting in the lost funds.
Is there is a huge penalty for screwing up disclosure?No.But there should be.
The handling of a recent data
breach – the details of which are still unfolding – by Oakland, Calif.-based
web services company Regpack provides a look into how the
discovery and disclosure of a breach can turn into a real train wreck.
The FBI’s refusal to reveal how it accessed an iPhone 5c
from a San Bernardino mass shooter will face scrutiny in court. USA Today’s parent company and two other news
groups have filed a lawsuit against the agency, demanding it turn over the
details.
I live in Centennial Colorado. (I'm not actually 100 years old., but I hope to be some day.) I'm an independant computer consultant, specializing in solving problems that traditional IT personnel tend to have difficulty with... That includes everything from inventorying hardware & software, to converting systems & data, to training end-users. I particularly enjoy taking on projects that IT has attempted several times before with no success. I also teach at two local Universities: everything from Introduction to Microcomputers through Business Continuity and Security Management. My background includes IT Audit, Computer Security, and a variety of unique IT projects.
