ICANN Might Cause A Security Nightmare

According to an announcement on January 11, 2012, after more than seven years of planning, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has initiated a process that could trigger a dramatic expansion of the Internet. Starting on January 12, 2012, ICANN will accept applications for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs). This might sound like a great idea, but it could also be fraught with trouble. ICANN is the organization that manages and...

The amount of personal information compromised through data breaches was on the rise in 2011. According to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, about 30 million records were compromised in 2011 in 535 separate breaches in the United States. That’s up from 12.3 million in 2010. The numbers are much larger when viewed globally. Most people assume that hackers using sophisticated techniques are to blame for all the data breaches. In most cases it’s the simple...

Todays headlines point to hackers and other criminals as the major causes of data breaches, but in fact a lot of the trouble starts with trusted employees. And one of the most trusted in your life is your doctor. Recent reports by Manhattan Research have found that 81% of physicians use a smartphone, up from 72% in 2010. 30% of doctors use iPads to access electronic health records and communicate with patients. Unfortunately according...

According to IDC, 80% of new commercial enterprise applications will be deployed on cloud platforms in 2012. Add to that the expectation that intelligent mobile devices will exceed “traditional computing” devices by almost 2 to 1 within the next 24 months and you have a very different world from just a few years ago. Cloud computing is very hot and every major software, hardware and technology services company is trying to get into it. ...

People are worried that their wireless carriers are monitoring all the activity on smart phones to spy on them and do who knows what. For years everyone thought this was just a conspiracy theory, but now a security researcher has thrown a little bit of reality onto the fire. In mid-November, security researcher Trevor Eckhart published a report accusing Carrier IQ of installing malware on more than 140 million mobile phones worldwide. This software...

Hopefully you ate all of your Thanksgiving holiday food and are ready to start your holiday shopping with a bang. Based on reports I read over the weekend, Black Friday was a great success for the brick and mortar stores in the US. A lot of people started their shopping at midnight last Friday or got up to get in line for bargains at 4:00am. As for me, I slept in on Friday morning...

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in the United States and I was reflecting on some of the things I’m thankful for when doing business everyday. Of course I’m thankful for the great people I work with, my family for putting up with me and for all the customers that I can help. But I’m also thankful all the technology I use. Sometimes using technology can be a real headache, especially when something doesn’t work and...

I had a conversation with an attorney the other day and she was telling me how her law firm is getting Apple iPads for all the attorneys. She said there was a lot of resistance, at first, from her IT department. That’s been the case with many law firms, but improved productivity has won the day. In fact, according to the 2011 ILTA/InsideLegal Technology Purchasing Survey, which examined the purchasing trends of law firms...

It’s been over 11 years since President Clinton signed the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) into law in the United States, yet there are still people and businesses who question the legality of electronic signatures. This is not as crazy as it sounds, because like many things in the US, state and local laws govern many business transactions. So don’t be surprised if you are confused. A case in point...

Last March I wrote about locking your computer so people don’t steal your data. In the post there’s a great video about one way to do that. It’s a bit severe, but funny. A lot of us don’t take the time to lock our computers, because we forget or maybe we don’t think anyone will try to steal anything. That’s a false hope, because there are too many people who will steal a laptop,...
