Darlene Storm: Hacker steals teacher's direct deposit paycheck: University says too bad so sad


If you fell for a phishing scam and hackers were able to access your account
and reroute your direct deposit paycheck to their bank account, is that just
tough luck and you can kiss your stolen money bye-bye? When it happened to a
teacher, Western Michigan University said it "will not reimburse him for the
amount that was stolen."

Former NSA worker unveils tool said to secure email

Email, perhaps still the most widely used Internet application, has about the
same level of security as a postcard. But unlike postcards, it's widely depended
on by businesses.

Mobile users at risk from lack of HTTPS use by mobile ad libraries

Over the past several months security researchers have found serious
vulnerabilities in many mobile advertising libraries that could be exploited to
abuse the permissions of Android apps or to execute unauthorized code on users'
devices. The risks resulting from those vulnerabilities would be significantly
lower if those libraries would use HTTPS, security researchers said.
