01 A Case of 'Sextortion'
Digital Evidence Response Team The basic framework of the
extortionist's scheme was as cold as it was calculated: contact a young
girl on a social networking site using a fake identity, gain her trust,
extract some highly personal information, and then threaten to expose
her intimate exchanges if she doesn't assent to escalating demands for
sexually explicit pictures or videos.

06 Security Software is a Placebo
On average, one in five companies suffers a security breach every
year. Assuming that a company website is secure is a dangerous game = if
a website has even the slightest vulnerability, it will be exploited. So
how can the security software industry keep up? This week we look at
website vulnerability and the effectiveness of security software.

12 Quote: Thoughts on Thinking
All that we are is the result of what we have thought...
If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him...
If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him,
like a shadow that never leaves him.
-- Buddha
