What I find interesting is that the Universities Superannuation Scheme Pensions hack got their members only one year of free monitoring. I wonder why the BBC get two?

Re: 12 months from now or 12 months from then?

There's probably so much information disclosed that they'll need more than 12 months to sift through it.

Re: I've seen worse

It's often now "Grape Street" or somewhere where the pub is called "The Grapes". In Oxford, it's now Magpie Lane.

Not shocking news

I'm not surprised. Doing information security doesn't make you loved by your colleagues. It's like selling condoms. You tell people that prevention is better than cure, and you're seen as stopping all enjoyment.

Re: ZTE and Huaweii backdoor all their chips

Absolutely.

Actually IIRC Huawei have been given an OK by CESG in the UK - it needed a code inspection in Cheltenham as past of an openness deal. Lots of hot air being spouted by protectionists.

Do I trust Intel or Qualcomm more than Huawei? Not really.

Their kit works well, and is in many people's homes already. BT Openreach routers and Huawei mobile phones already have broken into the market.

Filr does the job!

Take a look at Filr. You have total control of your files as they stay on your site (keeping your data in the local jurisdiction).

It is designed to work with Microsoft AD or NetIQ's eDir, and it keeps the file access rights properly. Supports iDevices, Android, Blackberry, Macs and PCs. What's not to like?

It allows you to share (if you want), without duplicating data all the time.
