70% of UK orgs hit by a data breach in the last 12 months

A new survey of 615 companies and public sector organisations has shown that 70% have experienced some kind of data breach in the last 12 months.

Once again we say, encrypt all mobile storage now!

Trading system secrets stolen by former Goldman Sachs employees

In a rare example of public disclosure the FBI arrested an employee of Goldman Sachs who is accused of stealing computer code used for complex, high speed market trading.

The activity was detected by GS's automated monitoring systems that scan email for any transfer of code.

The suspect was on $400,000 a year, makes one wonder how much the code is worth?
