Show of hands, how many of us remember the good old days? You remember those days, when "lost" meant something like: "I came home and set my car keys down and then moved some stuff around - when I got up in the morning, I couldn't find my keys. They were lost." or "My wife and I took a trip with the kids to Washington, D.C....

I recently appeared on Fox and Friends to discuss email hacking. Dave Briggs, a FOX & Friends Weekend co-host, lost access to his Hotmail email account when hackers were able to guess either his password or his qualifying question. (He admitted that his password was not as strong as it should have been.) The hackers locked Briggs out of his ow...

I live in a land of delusion. I like to think that I have a small grasp on economics. I don't claim to be an economist and when writing about it I often do so as the 'noneconomist'.

“Misty Buttons” just started following me on Twitter. She’s curvaceous, bodacious and isn’t getting her needs met. Apparently, she needs me to meet those needs. It is, of course, a tempting offer that someone, somewhere may accept. But I’m going to pass. Twitter porn and cybercrime are one and the same. Criminal hackers use porn to lure unsuspect

A spate of recent news reports highlight growing ATM fraud. Law enforcement in New York City reported a gang had stolen $500,000 from bank accounts via ATM skimming. They installed cameras and skimming devices on the machines, and recorded the magnetic strips and the PIN numbers. A recent survey points towards ATM fraud rising 5-9 percent. Sevent...
