    How Fake Information Starts and Spreads – the Amelia Earhart Photo

    ByMike McBride July 18, 2017July 16, 2017 Reading Time: 3 minutes

    If you haven’t seen it online already, or watched the documentary on the History channel, this was what we were being told about this photograph. Producers with a History Channel documentary recently found the picture in the National Archives and promoted it as new evidence indicating Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, survived a plane…

    Linked – The Rise and Fall of Working From Home

    ByMike McBride July 17, 2017July 15, 2017 Reading Time: 1 minute

    It’s an interesting story, but I’m going to go ahead and instead of just taking the employer’s word for what happened and why remote working doesn’t work, look at it a different way. You hired people for remote work. You didn’t set expectations around communication, availability, etc. You didn’t have regular, scheduled communication with them,…

    Linked – Hackers Will Soon Be Trying to Send Your Driverless Car Off a Cliff

    Fooling your cars GPS system into believing you are somewhere else, apparently, has already been done: “In December, CNN confirmed that instead of showing the cars where they really were — cruising along the Moskva River — the GPS suddenly insisted the cars were 20 miles away, at the Vnukovo International Airport.” What’s next? How…

    Linked – Personal property inventory by smart phone and email

    ByMike McBride July 15, 2017July 13, 2017 Reading Time: 1 minute

    This is some really good advice from Jim Calloway. I might even have to think about this before the next tropical storm comes through south Louisiana. One evening soon at home, go through your entire house videoing everything with your smart phone or digital camera. Open every closet and every drawer. Don’t worry about clutter….

    Linked – Why Your Employees Are Still Your Greatest Security Risk

    ByMike McBride July 14, 2017July 13, 2017 Reading Time: 1 minute

    This doesn’t seem to be getting better. “According to this year’s Dell End-User Security Survey, a staggering 72 percent of employees are willing to share sensitive, confidential or regulated company information inappropriately. Those surveyed were not malicious but rather were just trying to do their jobs the best they could.” Clearly, we aren’t doing something right,…

    Linked – How’d They Do That? Part 2 – You Stole My Credit Card Number!

    ByMike McBride July 13, 2017July 11, 2017 Reading Time: 1 minute

    One of my former coworkers wrote up a really good description of how credit card fraud happens. I recommend reading the entire thing if you want to learn about the details, but you definitely want to pay attention to Grayson’s advice for consumers. “If you have the option, choose businesses that use chip readers instead…
