We're down to the short strokes now. Just a few days left in the ISC2 Board of Directors election. With the time remaining in the election I wanted to share my gratitude. No matter how this turns out, I want to say thanks to everyone who has voted for me in the ISC2 Board of Directors election. Whatever the end result is (fingers crossed) I have been moved by the ...
Yes, they will protect your privacy. They will ensure that you're email is safe. Pay no attention to edits on that document. Silly track changes. Must have been that admin again. From C|NET: A vote on his bill, which now authorizes warrantless access to Americans' e-mail, is scheduled for next week. Leahy's rewritten bill would allow more than 22 agencies -- including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal ...
The election for the ISC2 Board of Directors is underway! The election runs from Nov 16 until Nov 30th. I need your votes! For those of you who have already voted, thank you so very much! When you're voting I should point out that there are THREE write in spots on that ballot as well. Oddly enough, there are three other "Horsemen" who didn't make it onto the ballot originally. Coincidence? ...
There are public service announcements and then, there is this one. Say what you will about awareness training. This one was really effective. I've watched it several times. Now I just need to figure out how to make this into a ring tone.
What on earth possesses people to take pictures of the debit or credit cards and post them online? This is a phenomenon that I have to admit completely escapes all measure of rational thought. Mental process = post your debit card online. Um, huh? From Twitter: But, this individual is by no means the only one. No no, more than 100 similar misguided souls have been enshrined on the Twitter account NeedADebitCard. ...

The Taliban, known less for their love of humanity and kittens as they are for violence, are growing to be better known for technological derps. So, how did the manage to do it this week? Well, apparently the use of BCC or blind carbon copy was a little too difficult to master for Taliban email. They managed to email out the full mailing list...in the CC field. This included ...
This morning I awoke to find the news feeds churning on a Skype password reset story. On first glance this seems like a troublesome one. If headlines were to be believed all you would need is the intended targets email address associated with their Skype account and they could reset your password. Um, yeah, see that's bad. M'kay. What would be REALLY bad is that if some political figure had ...
Today was odd. I woke to a wonderfully unseasonably warm day that eventually spiraled into a dreary rainy one. Much in the same vein as the oddity that developed online today. This morning while perusing my Twitter feed and reading email I received an email from a reader. The email made my brain cramp almost instantly. I give you a passage from the strange tale of a virus called SQL ...
