There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.

In every disaster scammers see an opportunity, and Hurricane Sandy is no exception. I have already seen faked Red Cross e-mails circulating and there will no doubt be more scams coming.
Just a couple of quick tips:
You should only donate directly to charities via their websites and never through links received in email. If in doubt call the charity directly and verify before giving.
Be particularly cautious about clicking on photos and videos that purport to show storm damage. You do not have to install anything to watch videos or see pictures of the storm. Anything asking you to do so is likely malware trying to infect your computer.
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
Nobody who is doing the right thing should be against explaining.
I spent the last week speaking at the Missouri Sheriffs’ Association on securing your office (for free) and at the Morenet M3 conference on Pentesting Your Own Network.
These are two conferences I really enjoy speaking at. Both of these groups know how to get the most out of their equipment and employees.
Pride is always the enemy of leadership. When it’s all about you, it’s just about over!
“My name is Jerry and I am addicted to my phone.”
I am not sure if there are support groups for people who are addicted to their phone but if there is I should probably drop in on one… you know… just to check it out.
I get a lot of information on my phone throughout the day.
On an average day I get about:
100 Work Emails
75 Person Emails
25 Mentions on Twitter
15 Texts
So that is easily over 200 *Dings* a day I get on my phone. When my phone *Dings* I look at. In the Car, in the office, in the bathroom, while watching TV, in a meeting…. If it dinged I looked at it to make sure it wasn’t important.
Earlier this week my phone died on me and I needed to reload it with a new ROM. While configuring it I did something I thought I would never do and did this:
That’s right. No Notifications. No More *DINGS*. So now I have to look at my phone for information. I am a little slower responding to emails and texts but I glance at my phone ever 15 minutes or so and it seems to be working out. I seem to be getting more work done by not constantly being interrupted with *DINGS* of information. I am not as fast to respond texts but really how fast do you need to respond to “C DA GAME LAST NITE?!”
We will see how long this lasts.
Everyone is a target on the internet. You are either a primary objective or a target of opportunity.
Great teachers ask great questions.
