The Real Reason You Need Cyber Liability Insurance, by Brian Focht, The Cyber Advocate
Another day, another hack. Yesterday brought news that four million current and former government employees may have had their personal information stolen by Chinese hackers.
Of course, this comes on the heels of what has been a staggering 18 months of hacks. Starting with the Home Depot and Target hacks, we’ve been barraged with story after story about major companies and retailers being hacked for their customers’ data. It’s not just big companies and big-box retailers, though. Law firms are increasingly the target of hackers, due to a combination of factors including relatively lax security and large quantities of organized, valuable information. . . .

4 High Tech Ways to Improve Your Depositions, by Brian Focht, The Cyber Advocate Blog
http://www.thecyberadvocate.com/2015/04/08/4-high-tech-ways-improve-depositions/
Last week I had the (good?) fortune to attend two depositions spanning three days in a construction defect case. We represent a fairly peripheral sub-contractor, so despite exceeding 20 total hours, I didn’t get the opportunity to ask a single question. However, we’re not so peripheral that I could completely space out.
Over the course of three days, which included the introduction of about 100 exhibits (I’m impressed at the plaintiff’s counsel’s restraint, except when you consider that many exhibits exceeded 250 pages each), I listened intently. Or as intently as possible.
Until the other part of my brain, the part that writes this blog, kicked in. I analyzed what I thought was an intelligent, if complicated, system put in place that uses Dropbox for sharing exhibits. But that was really it. No video, no digital exhibits, remote participants listening by phone. I couldn’t help but think that there had to be a better way than this. . . .

Not Hyperbole: The Internet Won’t Be The Same Without Net Neutrality, by Brian Focht, The Cyber Advocate
Today, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that key provisions of regulations promulgated by the FCC, referred to as the ‘Open Internet Rules’ (or ‘Net Neutrality’ to most), were outside the agency’s authority. Specifically, the court held that rules requiring broadband internet service providers to treat all internet traffic equally were beyond the FCC’s powers, because broadband providers are not considered ‘common carriers.’
