This short, incisive article was originally published on Washington’s Blog in 2014. It deals with the “criminality” and “blatant manipulation” of Wall Street and gives us a better idea as to why the global economy is in such a catastrophic state.
Runaway derivatives – especially credit default swaps (CDS) – were one of them
There are tried and true ways to protect yourself from identity theft—ways that you may not have even considered. Check them out (no specific order):
Did you Find Peace and Did you Help Others?

Last blog I wrote about working with our tendency for impulsiveness. Which can lead to one hell of a fun ride and other times can lead to regret.
Counter this with the fear of making the wrong decision. Sometimes we are so uncertain as to the right decision we are frozen and unable to decide. We fear regret. The regret of pain and suffering or the regret that we missed out on a fantastic opportunity.
Creating angst over a decision is fine IF there is a hard deadline to make the decision. Eventuall
Credit union online news agency CUInsight.com recently published an article declaring cybersecurity a “must” for credit unions. In support of its position, author Stuart Levine cites more than 400 incidents – recorded by the Identity Theft Resource center in 2015 – putting at least 80 million records at risk and tallying costs in excess of $100 million for the targeted organization.
What’s the best way for credit unions to tackle cybersecurity risk management? The author suggests credit unions st
The season of giving is now upon us — but don’t forget, it’s also the season of stealing — and no, I don’t mean your wallet or the gift package at your doorstep, but your Social Security number, credit card information, medical records and any other highly confidential information that you have stored on your computers.
Thieves want your data — the information stored in your smartphone, laptop and other devices. People are especially vulnerable to this crime when they travel. Don’t let the hustle
The words “spying” and “stalking” have negative connotations, but there’s a flipside to the coin: parents monitoring their kids’ online activities and physical locations. And how about middle-aged adults keeping track of the whereabouts of their aged parents with dementia?
If you fear that apps for “spying” might get banned, here’s bad news: U.S. Senator Al Franken is pushing for this.
However, Franken’s proposed law will actually permit these constructive uses. His plan is to require companies to
Even though the highly publicized retail data breaches have involved off-line brick and mortar stores, this doesn’t mean that security is high with online shopping. Scammers and hackers are waiting for you in more ways than you know, such as:
Are you a shredder? I hope so. No identity thief on this planet is going to want to attempt to reconstruct cross-shredded documents.
So what, then, should you make a habit of shredding?
In light of recent events, the Environmental Protection Agency is using new monitoring techniques to evaluate the quality of companies’ classifications and reporting of hazardous materials. Ironically, as we all learned recently, even the EPA itself isn’t immune to catastrophic, if preventable, mistakes. New compliance regulations increase the importance of standardized risk identification, mitigation, and monitoring strategies.
Two takeaways from this new development:
Thinking of bringing a credit card with you on your travels? You can end up in a jam: You just treated your extended family to fine dining in France. Time to pay; your credit card is declined.
If you try to make a purchase overseas, your credit card company might think it’s fraudulent, since it would appear anomalous, relative to your usual, U.S. purchases.
So before you leave for your trip:
Sexting is the act of sending images of a sexual nature via cell phone, often naked pictures. Because texting technology is so readily available and easy to understand, parents should be quite leery of telling themselves, “Oh, MY kid would never do that!” Studies showy your kid already did it. 12-17 year olds sext. And studies show 50-75 year olds do it as much as 18-25 year olds. Picture that!
Sexting is not the same as when a teen shows a naked Polaroid photo to the crowd huddled in front of th
Despite the growing necessity of robust risk management software for companies of all sizes, it’s easy to think of risk solutions as akin to insurance, like guardrails that prevent a vehicle from careening off a narrow mountain road; the thought of actually needing them in the event of a failure is too unsettling to dwell on.
That functionality is of course important, but what about day-to-day operations and costs? An efficient risk management process starts with identifying and assessing risks a
The holiday season is ramping up. And so are burglars. Even if you don’t get very festive, burglars may still target your home. Your dark, unlit home among all the dazzling festive homes will stick out like a sore thumb. Whether you have 10,000 decorative lights on or none, here’s what to do:

Global developments in finance and geopolitics are prompting a rethinking of the structure of banking and of the nature of money itself. Among other interesting news items:
◾In Russia, vulnerability to Western sanctions has led to proposals for a banking system that is not only independent of the West but is based on different design principles.
◾In Iceland, the booms and busts culminating in th
The solution for working with our tendency for impulsiveness can be found in Daniel Kahnemann’s book Thinking Fast and Slow. He gives more than forty heuristics, where we take mental shortcuts to make a quicker decision. (Erik Johnson has a nice summary of each of them here). Kahnemann explains how each of these are by no means foolproof and suggests that we need to identify the times when we should slow down our thinking to check if the heuristic in play is valid in each case.
I take Kahnemann’s
So what will you be doing this holiday season to avoid getting scammed? The scammers really come out of the woodwork during the holidays, waiting to snatch their victims. It’s easier than you think to avoid getting ripped off or getting your entire bank account sucked dry. Here’s how to avoid getting tangled in a scammer’s net:
Here at LogicManager, we’ve spent a lot of time considering issues related to cybersecurity. To find a new way in which a cybercriminal has exploited electronic vulnerabilities, all you need to do is skim today’s newspaper, which will almost inevitably report a data breach or fraud-related scandal. An evolving set of threats means incident likelihood is increasing, and generally, cybersecurity risks have serious impacts – meaning such risks have very high inherent indices, or combinations of imp
