  • Don't fire people until after you wipe their phones

    A very commonly required feature for mobile access to email is remote wipe - the ability to reach out and wipe all corporate data off a mobile device. Exchange ActiveSync supports this feature and has for several versions now. You, as the Exchange or Security administrator can issue a remote wipe command...

  • And finally, standard user malware

    Today I finally got wind of my first piece of true standard user malware. MS Antispyware 2008 has turned standard user. The version in question installs the binaries in c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\<something>, and makes itself resident by infecting HKCU\...\Run. Curiously...

  • Please do not e-mail my social security number

    Recently I had a very interesting incident. I wrote an article some time in 2008 and the publisher paid me a little bit of money for it. That means the publisher must send a report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS - the U.S. tax department) reporting that they paid me, as well as send me a form called...

  • What They Teach Kids These Days

    Sweden has always been a little "cutting edge," if you know what I mean. Little did I know, however, just how cutting edge.
