Family law takes a special breed. How often have you received a call from your client complaining that the soon-to-be-ex-spouse forgot the child’s teacher/parent conference, was late to pick up the child for a doctor appointment, or disagrees how to parent in a given situation? It happens all too often, and punches a divorce client’s button every time.

What if your client had a way to permanently, securely document and communicate with the other party about appointments, vacations, homework assignments, and all the other hot-button issues that pop up?

Mr. Stevens has the best solution I have seen. Online portals, such as Our Family Wizard, provides a color-coded calendar and message board for the parents. The calendar helps to avoid miscommunication about things such as appointments, visitation schedules, and school events. Messages posted on the message board cannot be deleted, redacted, or edited in any way, providing a communication log that can be used in court.

Mr. Stevens’ has generously shared additional online portals and apps for family scheduling, school, and medical communication that make it easier for each parent to stay informed. It helps to cut down on your client’s stress, the parties’ disagreements, and the frequent calls to your office. This technology is easy to use and good for your practice and your client. -CCE

I stumbled across these technology tips some time ago. I love technology. But, like everyone, if I do not use it often, I often forget a step or get stuck. When I need a hand, I have found the tips on Word and Excel especially helpful. Even better, both the Word and Excel tips have newsletters and answer questions from readers.  -CCE

The Unintended Consequences of the Internet of Things, by Jim Calloway, Jim Calloway’s Law Practice Tips Blog

How close is Big Brother – or someone worse? Too darn close, says Jim Calloway. The question? What do we do about it? -CCE

Refrigerators that automatically help you prepare your shopping list. Thermostats that adjust the temperature to your liking when they detect you are heading home on your commute. A device on the front door that sends a picture to you of everyone who rings the doorbell while you are away. All of these ideas seem great and maybe even a bit magical, and they are headed your way right now. The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) holds a lot of promise.

Unfortunately, as with all things related to technology, it may not be quite that simple. . . .

Markey Report Reveals Automobile Security and Privacy Vulnerabilities, by Sabrina I. Pacifici, BeSpacific Blog

http://www.bespacific.com/markey-report-reveals-automobile-security-privacy-vulnerabilities/

‘New standards are needed to plug security and privacy gaps in our cars and trucks, according to a report released today by Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.). The report, called Tracking & Hacking: Security & Privacy Gaps Put American Drivers at Risk and first reported on by CBS News’ 60 Minutes, reveals how sixteen major automobile manufacturers responded to questions from Senator Markey in 2014 about how vehicles may be vulnerable to hackers, and how driver information is collected and protected. The responses from the automobile manufacturers show a vehicle fleet that has fully adopted wireless technologies like Bluetooth and even wireless Internet access, but has not addressed the real possibilities of hacker infiltration into vehicle systems. The report also details the widespread collection of driver and vehicle information, without privacy protections for how that information is shared and used. ‘Drivers have come to rely on these new technologies, but unfortunately the automakers haven’t done their part to protect us from cyber-attacks or privacy invasions. Even as we are more connected than ever in our cars and trucks, our technology systems and data security remain largely unprotected,’ said Senator Markey, a member of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. ‘We need to work with the industry and cyber-security experts to establish clear rules of the road to ensure the safety and privacy of 21st-century American drivers.’ Senator Markey posed his questions after studies showed how hackers can get into the controls of some popular vehicles, causing them to suddenly accelerate, turn, kill the brakes, activate the horn, control the headlights, and modify the speedometer and gas gauge readings. Additional concerns came from the rise of navigation and other features that record and send location or driving history information. Senator Markey wanted to know what automobile manufacturers are doing to address these issues and protect drivers.’

Missed Alarms and 40 Million Stolen Credit Card Numbers: How Target Blew It, by Michael Riley, Ben Elgin, Dune Lawrence, and Carol Matlack, Bloomberg  Businessweek Technology

http://tinyurl.com/njsy4rm

The biggest retail hack in U.S. history wasn’t particularly inventive, nor did it appear destined for success. In the days prior to Thanksgiving 2013, someone installed malware in Target’s (TGT) security and payments system designed to steal every credit card used at the company’s 1,797 U.S. stores. At the critical moment—when the Christmas gifts had been scanned and bagged and the cashier asked for a swipe—the malware would step in, capture the shopper’s credit card number, and store it on a Target server commandeered by the hackers.

It’s a measure of how common these crimes have become, and how conventional the hackers’ approach in this case, that Target was prepared for such an attack. . . .
