Executive protection: 4 essentials for secure travel

As these words are being written, an Austrian citizen is held captive in Yemen,
the attack on the Amenas gas complex in Algeria has claimed a toll of 37
foreigners including three Americans, and reports suggest homicides in Mexico
are on the rise (86 at the Estado de Mexico in January, 2013 alone).

Richi Jennings: New CFAA-boosting bill spits on Aaron Swartz' grave


Computer Fraud and Abuse Act to be enhanced.

The House Judiciary Committee is proposing a bill that expands the reach of the
CFAA. Far from addressing the concerns of activists who point to the Aaron
Swartz case, it seems to make the situation worse. Why is chair Bob
Goodlatte (pictured) doing this? In IT Blogwatch, bloggers prepare for a fight
(again).

Sticky Password Pro is a valuable tool for keeping passwords safe

If you use the same user name and password on multiple sites, all it takes is
for one of them to get cracked, and it doesn't matter how secure your password
is or how securely all the other sites store it: You are in trouble. So, you
should use a different secure password for each site. Of course, trying to
remember dozens or hundreds of different secure passwords borders on impossible.
