Darlene Storm: Tweaked Zeus: Fake Instagram 'likes' are worth more $ than stolen credit card numbers


Popularity on social networking sites has become so important that cyber
fraudsters have tweaked a version of the Zeus trojan to sell fake
"followers" and "likes" for the photo-sharing app
Instagram. It makes them more money than selling stolen credit card
numbers.

Steve Pate: HIPAA compliance in the cloud


Remember how when you were a kid, and you went to spend the night at a
friend's house, you were faced with all kinds of new and different
'rules of the house'?

The new HIPAA Omnibus rule, went into effect on March 26th, 2013, is kind
of like staying at a friend's house – though the rules are way more
complicated, and the penalty for non-compliance can be significantly more
costly. If you are a provider – or user – of public cloud services,
there are a number of key changes you need to know.
