While many will equate the mobile age with just cell phones, the reality is that many new devices with entirely new use cases will enter our lives and create amazing experiences. This mobile age will require companies to have deep expertise in BOTH hardware and software to create breakthrough products, and I am bullish on Apple because I believe they uniquely have both the hardware and software skills to lead this transformation…

Similar to security assessments, network architecture designs and other projects, a development project, such as this one involves the exchange of confidential data, including in this case, intellectual property designs, requirements documents, test plans, code fragments and road maps. We could have chose to exchange these documents over email, or printed them out and sent them next day parcel post. Instead, we ate our own dogfood and utilized IslandPKI encrypted document and message transfer…

So, if my PC is compromised because I don’t have adequate security and $800,000 goes missing from my account, whose fault is it? At first glance some may say the victims, others may say the banks. The fact that there are so many ways passwords can be compromised and accounts can be taken over, and banks know this, it should motivate banks to have redundant security in place. Hacks like this undermine people’s confidence in the system.

SQL injections have evolved in their purpose and sophistication. Originally meant as a tool to attack a merchant’s database and steal data. The attack was reconfigured last summer to install viruses on users’ computers that contain a remote control component. The bad guys are going after high-profile, high-volume websites, instead of going after the smaller websites, which are easier to inject code into…

Police believe they may have uncovered an international ATM “skimming” ring responsible for stealing money from hundreds of local accounts. It was not too long ago that I bought an ATM north of Boston from a dude named Bob at a bar and rolled it through the streets of Boston nabbing unsuspecting users who entered their debit cards and PINS. I performed this crazy stunt to demonstrate how easy it is and how vulnerable we are.

Scammers will say and do anything to get a person to part with their money. At first they had a sob story that sounded like a legitimate issue, new housing, can’t have a pet. When posted in a classified ad, it looks legitimate. Then they involved a “shipping company” that was a front for the scam. Once the victims were asked to send money via Western Union, that should have been a red-flag.
