WikiLeaks, the Pearl Harbor of the 21st Century

Today is the 69th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The devastating surprise attack on the United States set in motion events that few people could comprehend in 1941. The lives lost that day and the days that followed must never be forgotten. As a country, we would learn a very tough lesson in 1941: not being adequately prepared to defend ourselves against a “surprise attack” would have a devastating impact on our...

Organizations significantly invest in protecting networks, but are they doing enough to protect their data and records? Literally almost every day there are announcements about significant data breaches, the most recent being the current WikiLeaks episode. For years organizations have invested more and more in technology to protect their networks (both externally and internally) as well as for spam protection. Of course this is important and is the right thing to do. You certainly...

Reading the news reports and blog posts over the last several weeks regarding the threat posed by the loss or theft of smart phones poses a dilemma for just about every company that deals with confidential data – in other words all of us! A report released in October by Forrester Research predicts that by 2015 companies will have more mobile devices (smart phones, iPads and other non-tablet devices) than traditional computers on their...

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States I was thinking about how many people will start online shopping soon. The Friday after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday, but the Monday after is called Cyber Monday. A lot of people will get up at crazy hours on Friday morning to be the first in line to get great bargains at every store imaginable. I do agree that getting hundreds of dollars off...

Sounds like a line from a commercial, but really applies to what’s going on around data and document security today. A lot of organizations are looking hard at the security of their information. Everyday you read about another data breach by hacking, an insider stealing something or someone accidentally sending the wrong information to the wrong person. The immediate reaction to these events is to throw technology at it. My firewall must not be...

Today Apple released iTunes 10.1. I opened up iTunes and the application told me there was a new version available. I clicked through the install screen and the EULA (end user license agreement) popped up in my face. Like most people, I usually just click through the EULA without actually reading it. But today I read the top section. Why? Because it was in VERY LARGE LETTERS. This is what the first part said:...

A few weeks ago the Internet was abuzz about Eric Butler’s release of a new FireFox extension called Firesheep. The point of the extension was to highlight the vulnerability of open wireless networks. Firesheep makes it easy to capture login credentials from a site that isn’t using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or HTTPS connection. By default the extension lets you capture credentials from Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Foursquare and lots of other popular sites. ...

This week Google sent an email to all Gmail users describing a class action settlement regarding privacy complaints when they launched Buzz in February 2010. A copy of mine is below. The letter basically says Google made some mistakes, made changes to Buzz following public outcry and is setting up a fund to promote privacy education and policy on the web. We the people can opt in or out of the settlement. If you...

It’s almost Halloween and another large company has decided they prefer the treat in the cloud to the trick of on-premise software. Virgin America took the leap into the cloud by moving from Microsoft Exchange to Google Gmail. The company is in the process of switching and was motivated by saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. Virgin America joins other large organizations, like The City of Los Angles, who decided that it was less...

Today the blogosphere has been going wild about a new FireFox extension that makes it easy to capture login credentials and hack into systems on an open network. Eric Butler, a freelance web application and software developer from Seattle, WA, created Firesheep to showcase this vulnerability in websites. I am not sure if Eric is doing a great service by highlighting a vulnerability or just being reckless and giving people an easy way to...
