Linked – Large law firms’ secret information from big-money clients entice cyberthieves
This isn’t new. It’s the reason things like the Panama Papers exist, because law firms have a whole lot of data about their clients, information that those clients usually do a really good job of protecting – “It’s an issue about the data, fundamentally,” says Jake Olcott, a vice president at BitSight Technologies, a cybersecurity…
Linked: The case for turning off your Zoom camera
Stop considering people who aren’t on camera as less engaged. This is just your bias. Your smartest employees understand the additional stress being on camera causes and take every opportunity to limit that effect for themselves. Keep people who are that self-aware.
Recently, I was doing a training session with some new employees and started off by telling them to turn their cameras off. I am fairly sure it was their favorite meeting of their week.

Or the “reward” for months of 70-80 hour work weeks is free pizza. It just makes people angry because it’s a token that does nothing to actually recognize the work involved, or correct the problems that created this mess to start with.
Workplace stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues are not just something a little mindfulness can fix. Workers are waking up to the fact that it’s the company culture that is contributing to this. Offering a way for employees to help “fix” themselves might seem like a nice thing, and in many ways it is, but doing it while not making any effort to recognize the contributions managers and corporate culture make to the problem, along with a commitment to make changes, is the very definition of “too little”.

Hackers are moving to mobile because most of us are moving to mobile. That’s not surprising, and given the fact that it’s a little more difficult to spot on a mobile device, that’s just a bonus.
