E-gad! E-mail Security Gets More Complex
by Bill Zalud
First out of the chute: Don't fall for the CNN.com Top News e-mails or the MSNBC.com Top News e-mails. They are fake and dangerous. If you click, you'll get a load of sophisticated viruses.
Second, with billions of e-mails and Instant Messages flying across enterprise and personal computers and cell phones daily, it's no wonder that there are growing security and privacy headaches. And, there is no doubt that e-mail traffic can run you over coming and going. With the increase in gas prices, corporations and government agencies are encouraging - if not giving up on trying to stop - telecommuting.
However, personal and private information related to both employees and their employers may be compromised by telecommuting staff if privacy risks are not dealt with effectively, according to a report developed by Ernst & Young LLP and the Center for Democracy and Technology.

City To Keep; An Electronic Eye On Crime Developing Camera System With Help; Of $2.6 Million Homeland Security Grant
When an arsonist torched a Polish Hill apartment building last year, police credited video footage from a neighborhood group's security camera, perched nearby, for leading to the arrest of a suspect. The tape -- which showed a man walking into and out of the building, just before smoke started to billow -- gave police enough evidence to charge Duane Darkins Jr. with arson.

In Early Assessment, State Earns Praise for its Hurricane Planning
Ask most first-responders whether Texas' revamped hurricane emergency plan for Hurricane Ike worked as it should have, and they point to a single number as proof that it did. Twenty-six. That's how many Texans have reportedly died in the storm, directly and indirectly, far fewer than the number who died during 2005's Hurricane Rita, at least 60 . It is also fewer than the 35 deaths in 10 other states that have been attributed to Ike, which moved inland after making landfall at Galveston Bay early Sept. 13.
What did Texas do right?
