Comments for “Article: SWIFT discloses more cyber thefts, pressures banks on security”
Behind the scenes, SWIFT is upping the ante for financial institutions. If you do not upgrade your systems and put robust processes in place you find your institution disconnect from SWIFT. This is effectively a death sentence for a bank.

Comments for ” Students can use the dark web to cheat their way through school”
It sounds old fashioned, but I tell students that the may person you cheat is yourself. Much like this course, if you just want to get through with a score. it is not difficult. If you want to learn and be prepared for your future, then you have to put the work in.

Comments for “Feds Warn States to Batten Down Hatches Following Election System Attacks”
This is an area where internal threats may be even greater. Admins of these systems have the ability to “adjust” vote counts. This means processes will need to be put in place to ensure this does not happen or is logged and reported.

Comments for “Protect yourself from one of the easiest ways people can steal your personal data in public”
One thing to keep in mind is that firms that process PII or other sensitive data may restrict staff that access these systems from working remotely. In particular, financial firms often have sophisticated monitoring programs that may not work for remote users.

Comments for “A Password for my Password”
One thing to keep in mind is that password keepers and the browser function to remember passwords have their own vulnerabilities that can resut in an attacker taking advantage of these.
