Richi Jennings: Symantec board boots ex-CEO Enrique Salem


Enrique Salem, president and CEO of Symantec (NASDAQ:SYMC), has been kicked
out. He's replaced by the board's chairman, Steve Bennett. It's said that
Salem's lot was to preside over a period of flat profits, missed opportunities,
and unwelcome gaffes. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers unspin the PR and get to the
bottom of the rolling head.

An Interactive eGuide: Bring Your Own Device

BYOD brings some concerns, blurring the line between personal and corporate use
raises security, compliance, and ownership issues. Does the BYOD trend actually
make workers more productive, or is IT simply caving in to employee demand?

Darlene Storm: Black Hat: Hotel keycard lock picking in less time than it takes to blink


When you close and lock your hotel door, then you probably believe you secured
your hotel room. Eeenk! It, and four to five million other Onity
keycard-protected hotel room locks, can be hacked with open-source hardware
costing about $20. What's more, any hacker, thief, stalker . . . or
someone from the government, only needs 200 milliseconds for such
untraceable access to your hotel room.
