    How the IoT Goes From Pretty Cool to Oops in One Fishy Story

    ByMike McBride July 23, 2017July 22, 2017 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Once, there was a casino with an awesome fish tank, that required a lot of monitoring to keep it operating efficiently for the fish. Enter, the Internet of Things… The fish tank had sensors connected to a PC that regulated the temperature, food and cleanliness of the tank. OK, that’s kind of cool. We can…

    Linked – Fake Obama speech is the beginning of the end of video evidence

    ByMike McBride July 22, 2017July 21, 2017 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Linked – Over Half of IT Professionals Don’t Know Where Sensitive Data is Stored: Survey

    Linked – Consumers have a ‘false sense of security’ when using public Wi-Fi hotspots

    ByMike McBride July 20, 2017July 18, 2017 Reading Time: 1 minute

    ByMike McBride July 19, 2017July 16, 2017 Reading Time: 1 minute

    The DHS is expanding the program based on a 2004 biometric tracking law that was aimed at foreigners.
