Posted by: admin 16 years, 3 months ago
There has been some excellent research done on the impact of information security breaches on the market cap of affected firms (which directly impacts their cost of capital): "The economic cost of publicly announced information security breaches: empirical evidence from the stock market Katherine Campbell, Lawrence A. Gordon, Martin P. Loeb and Lei Zhou Accounting and Information Assurance, Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland, 2003" (http://brief.weburb.dk/archive/00000130/01/2003-costs-security-on-stockvalue-9972866.pdf)
This UMD study found that a firm suffering a breach of 'confidential information' saw a 5% drop in stock price while firms suffering a non-confidential breach saw no impact.

WiKID got a nice review over at the Coffee Corner. I hope they do test the WiKID server on your home network. That is exactly the scenario we envisioned when we released the open source version. No reason why home users shouldn't be able to have strong authentication. I do want tot try to clarify some of the issues, if I understand them correctly:WiKID-breaks-8-000-downloads-on-Sourceforge.net

Sometime yesteday we surpassed 8,000 downloads of the open source version of our two-factor authentication system on Sourceforge. That is pretty exciting.

Been a long time since I posted anything. I'm trying to get back into the swing.corporate-spying-on-other-board-members-at-hp

Hat Tip to Valley Wag for pointing out this must read Newsweek article "Intrigue in High Places" about how the chairwoman of HP's board spied on other directors, including gaining access to the call logs of their personal cell and residential phone lines by "pretexting". (The investigators pretended to be the board members to the phone companies to get access.) The targeted board member who was the source of leaks to CNet is still on the board, but Tom Perkins of Kleiner Perkins fame resigned in protest.Recent Posts
