Darlene Storm: Criminalizing news about leaks and sharing links to hacks: America the censored?


If the powers-that-be have their way, then the media sharing news about
national security leaks as well as people sharing hyperlinks to hacks could
become criminal offenses in the USA. The CIA, however, can alledgely hack
Congress to spy on spy documents without it being a crime.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHITE PAPER: Kaspersky~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Security for Virtualization

The view of leading analysts is that in the rush to implement virtualization,
security has become a poor second. So while the business benefits are clear, the
risks are less well documented and understood. This makes selecting the right
virtual-aware anti-malware solution even more important.

US lawmakers call for data protection standards to avoid breaches

The U.S. Congress should mandate that banks, retailers and payment card
processors adopt new security standards to protect against widespread data
breaches, some lawmakers said Wednesday.

CIO not the only one to blame for Target breach

That someone had to take the fall for the massive breach at Target is neither
surprising nor unexpected. The only question is whether more heads will roll in
the aftermath of one the biggest data compromises in retail history.
