Copy Machines Can Store Your Private Info

Today, copy machines, fax machines and many printers are just like computers; they’re smart and they have hard drives or flash drives and can store data that can be extracted. Peripherals in the olden days, just like when dot-com was a significant part of a person’s stock portfolio, were dumb. Because of the increased demand of networked technolog...

She Said WHAT? On Facebook?

I don’t know about you, but high school was a nightmare for me. I spent a lot of my time in the assistant principal’s office for fighting. My taste for GQ style clothing along with slicked back greasy hair made me a target. My forked tongue didn’t help me any either. Not much has changed. In Melrose, Massachusetts a woman was run down by a pack o...

Visa and Wells' alerts: networking for safety and trust

The power of the alerts announcement from Visa and Wells is all about the 'network effect', that dot.com-era label for networks gaining in import as they gain in size and diversity of content.

Bridal Scam Shows How Vulnerable We Are

There are few more nuttier earthlings than the Bridezillas. Lovely women who go bonkers within 365 days of a wedding date. I blame the whole thing on Walt Disney. The groom to-be generally wants it over as soon as possible more so because he can’t believe how much it costs. Then the entire wedding industry preys upon the delirious couple and suck...

Sanctions screening, tackling the regulatory minefield

Increasing criminal and terrorist activity, combined with a highly regulated environment, is evidence that financial crime is a persistent, global problem. In banking, a similar story is playing out with sanctioned entities still using banks to illegally transfer money from A to B. Without a doubt, regulation has made a positive impact in the prev...

What is your digital persona?

At the Digital Money Forum last week, Kosta Peric of Swift mentioned a project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where they seek to critique data mining techniques to see how the web 'sees' you. The results are interesting, and odd. Even though I'm a journalist, you could say my name appears fairly often online, the large amounts of g...

While corporations are still trying to figure out the long term marketing benefits of social media, the security issues faced are a right now a problem. Many companies restrict internal access.
