Reading – DHS CISO Wants Consequences for Workers Who Fall for Security Scams

    The Problem with Total Surveillance

    According to the emails I’ve received just in the past couple of weeks:

    I’m actively seeking employment in Pennsylvania
    I own rental property in Las Vegas
    I have wives and children enrolled in schools in NC, VA and Canada.
    I travel back and forth between San Francisco and New Zealand frequently
