http://bit.ly/2eegLYd

If your nerves haven’t been rattled by the October 21st DNS attacks, they should have been. The hysterical tenor of the US election drowns everything out, but this news was a real doozy. Many sites, including Twitter, Spotify, and AirBnB were inaccessible due to one of the largest denial of service attack ever.

*     *     *

A Mobile Security Checklist for Attorneys, by Larry Port, Legal Productivity

http://tinyurl.com/l7tm97l

While attending a CLE event, have you ever left your laptop unattended? What if someone steals one of your mobile devices from your car or your home — or what if you inadvertently lose it in some way? Can someone else access your privileged client’s data? -CCE

I recently had the honor of writing a piece for ILTA’s Peer to Peer magazine on mobile security and presenting a webinar on the same topic. One piece of research blew me away: in a six-month period in Chicago, over 20 THOUSAND (yes – THOUSAND) cell phones were left in taxis.

Sure, maybe Chicago’s taxi seats are stickier than most, and perhaps the cold forces people into taxis more than in, say, Boca Raton, FL. The point is, you’re apt to lose a phone. And these days, with large amounts of data storage, functionality, and computational power on these things, that spells trouble for attorneys protecting client data.
