The Food and Drug Administration recently investigated manufacturers of endoscopes, a device most doctors call “a key tool in detecting and treating medical problems,” according to The Washington Post.
Such instruments, while vital to modern medicine, are also responsible for infecting hundreds of patients with a vicious bacteria called enterobacteriaceae, more commonly known as CRE. So far, infections from CRE-ridden endoscopes have caused at least two patient deaths.
The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) movement has in some ways saved companies money, but in other ways put customer data at risk. Employees are onsite, telecommuting or traveling on business. This means their devices, and company data could be anywhere at any given moment.
A company manager or owner realizes that company use of employee mobile devices brings benefits. But employees also use the devices for personal activities, increasing the risk of hackers getting into company data.

Governance programs are the unsung heroes of 21st-century business operations. Their situation is analogous to that of football’s offensive line.
If an offensive line does its job, no one will notice it, but when something goes wrong, the spotlight shifts.
Governance personnel know this feeling all too well. Unwanted surprises – be they compliance notices, audit findings, or a poor vendor relationships – are bad for business. Even a good surprise, like exceeding a sales target, can cause trouble i

It’s been stated more than once that WWIII will most likely be cyber-based, such as dismantling a country’s entire infrastructure via cyber weapons. And don’t think for a moment this doesn’t mean murdering people.
A report at bits.blogs.nytimes.com notes that foreign hackers have cracked into the U.S. Department of Energy’s networks 150 times; they’ve stolen blueprints and source code to our power grid as well. Some say they have the capability to shut down the U.S.

Gofundme.com and similar sites are loaded with “campaigns,” just tons of them. Think of the logistics involved if these si

LinkedIn is a free service that allows professional people to network with each other. Often, a LinkedIn member will receive an e-mail from another LinkedIn member “inviting” them to join their network. Sometimes, the inviter is someone the recipient doesn’t know, but the recipient will link up anyways. And that’s the problem.
