Camp' Teaches IT Security Tactics
A new training course offered by Philadelphia-based
Training Camp, a company that provides accelerated learning courses for
IT professionals, is helping students learn to protect their companies'
computer systems -- by breaking into them, reports The Philadelphia
Inquirer.
The weeklong "Hacker Boot Camp" helps its students, who work for
corporate IT departments, understand how hackers think and determine
what makes systems vulnerable.
"Want to create a fake record in a database? Want a $1 million account

New Study
Reveals Password Vulnerabilities and Concerns
A large percent of IT and security executives across
different industries have a growing concern over the use of password
security, as more sophisticated network threats and breaches continue to
evolve, according to findings of a new research initiative by
DigitalPersona, Redwood City, Calif.
The study, titled "Secure Your Network Assets," was conducted in
conjunction with the Business Performance Management (BPM) Forum, an
organization that helps advance the understanding of business
performance management techniques, technologies and processes in global
enterprises.
The research collected responses from IT and security professionals to
demonstrate that password security issues, especially the sharing of
passwords among colleagues, can be critical or disastrous to a company
and lead to network data breaches.

Employee
Performance Review May Have Sparked NASA Shooting
Houston police believe a bad performance review might
have led a NASA contractor to fatally shoot his co-worker and take
another employee hostage before killing himself, according to CNN.com.
Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt said Saturday that an e-mail critical
of an employee's work set Friday's events in motion at Johnson Space
Center in Houston.
The gunman, a contractor identified as Bill Phillips, received an e-mail
from NASA employee David Beverly last month. The e-mail detailed
Phillips' "job deficiencies" and outlined a plan for improvement.
