I’ve got invoicing to do this morning, but these things in my aggregator need a further look: An IT Manager’s Insight into Mobile Security. Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer version 1.2 is out.

Just no… “The report says most consumers have a “false sense of security” when using public Wi-Fi. Almost two thirds (65 percent) feel safe when they use public Wi-Fi, and less than a fifth (19 percent) use a VPN.” Let’s put it this way. You might very well sit in a Starbucks or on hotel…
