It’s a little disconcerting when Facebook can predict when you’ll break up with your significant other or determine how happy you are based on analyzing your status updates. There you are, posting some seemingly inane status update about liking mac and cheese, and not only does Facebook know how happy you are, but your spouse [...]

October is for Ghosts, Goblins and Computer Viruses
It’s hard to think of October without thinking of Halloween and the candy, costumes, scary music and fake spider webs that come with it. This is the time of the year when we’re delighted to be frightened, and even go out of our way to go to haunted houses and Halloween-themed events just to get [...]
The Keys to Business Continuity
In a demonstration of what is probably one of the most drastic business continuity plans, the powers that be (also known as Domain Name System Security Extensions) handed the keys to the Internet to seven individuals across the globe last July.

PCI DSS ASAP PDQ TGIF | PCI Compliance and TelePacific’s OneSecure

I was playing Monopoly the other day and doing a pretty exceptional job, if I do say so myself, of cleaning up on the property-grab race. After a few times around the board I had managed to buy both Park Place and Boardwalk, not to mention the red properties, a couple of railroads and other [...]
Phone Fraud on Your Dime
Most of us know not to give our credit card number, social security number and mother’s maiden name to strangers over the phone.
