Whos Hawking Hadoop? Just About Everyone

| From the article: "
Based on the software underpinning Googles online empire, Hadoop was designed as a means of crunching vast amounts of data using very ordinary machines. But the worlds big name hardware makers see it quite differently.
In recent months, the likes of Dell, Oracle, and EMC have unveiled what they bill as specialized hardware appliances for Hadoop, and on Monday, they were joined by storage hardware outfit and EMC rival NetApp, which announced a creation it calls the NetApp Open Solution for Hadoop.

Another in a long line of silly names, but a revolutionary change in how data is managed.

'Operation Shady RAT' Attackers Employed Steganography
|

| http://www.darkreading.com/security/attacks-breaches/231400084/index.html |
| From the article: "
The attackers behind the "Operation Shady RAT" targeted cyberespionage hacks hid some of their activities behind digital images. They used steganography, a relatively rarely deployed technique for hiding malicious code or data behind image files or other innocuous-looking files. In its analysis of Operation Shady RAT, Symantec found rigged images -- everything from images of a pastoral waterside scene to a suggestive photo of a woman in a hat -- that were masking commands ordering the infected machines to phone home to the command-and-control (C&C) server.

You've heard it all before: If you're a Mac, then you're immune from most of the latest security threats. That has led some organizations worried about cyberespionage-type attacks to consider ditching their target-prone Windows machines for their Mac iOS counterparts, according to a team of researchers who spoke at Black Hat USA last week in Las Vegas.

Social Networking: The Growing Threat to Businesses and Individuals

| From the article: "
Social Networking is a phenomenon that has officially grown out of control. I mean that literally.
It has grown to the point where neither the users nor the social networking companies themselves can control these monsters that have been created. It reminds me of the movie Jurassic Park where John Hammond, a wealthy older man, wanted to build something no one else had ever done: a fun theme park combined with a zoo of cloned dinosaurs. He built what he thought would be adequate security, but in reality, didnt understand nearly enough about the environment he was trying to control. People naturally trusted that proper security was in place and that they would of course be safe. Quickly things spiral out of control and nearly everyone gets eaten by the end of the movie.

On any given day, you probably spend plenty of time connected to Wi-Fi networksat home, work, school or in public places. Though you may typically connect your system to established wireless networks for things like Internet access, you can also use a Wi-Fi-equipped computer in whats known as ad-hoc mode to create your own Wi-Fi network for others to connect to.
Why set up your own ad-hoc Wi-Fi network? For several reasons. " |

| From the article: " ver realized you needed a document that was on a different computer from the one you were on? With FolderShare, you can access your files from anywhere. Keep all your files in sync. Use FolderShare to create a mirrored image of your most important folders - like your favorites, pictures, and documents - so they're the same on all your computers. Sharing with friends, co-workers, and family is easy when you add and update files in a shared library. " |
How do you transfer files between computers? If you're on a local Mac network it's easy to create a shared folder, but when you need to share files across multiple platforms, it gets tricky. E-mail is always an option, but for simple transfers, an e-mail client requires too many steps.
