Diving pig electrocuted
Diving pig electrocuted
03/24/2005 12:05 AMMark Frauenfelder:
Big Red the diving pig was electrocuted when it dived into a pool of
water that had a live wire connected to it by mistake.
The 4-month-old pig dove off a 4-foot-high diving board
into a water tank, Randall said. Big Red sank to the tank's bottom
after touching the ramp, he said.
Randall said the water was so charged with electricity that he
couldn't get into the tank until all the power was off, which took a
few minutes.
"I jumped in the water and gave the pig mouth-to-mouth," he said.
Velma Randall grabbed Sweet Georgia Brown, which had dived into
the water at the same time as Big Red, and hauled it out by the ear
before it touched the ramp, Virgil Randall said. He said his wife
received a shock as she got the pig out.

05/25/2004 11:30 PMMicrosoft Corp., together with six of the industry's leading identity
management vendors, today previewed interoperable federated identity
management solutions based on the Web services architecture (WS-*).
Software companies IBM Corp., Netegrity Inc., Oblix Inc., OpenNetwork
Technologies, Ping Identity Corp., RSA Security Inc. and Microsoft
have successfully concluded work demonstrating how their identity
management technologies interoperate using the Web Services Federation
(WS-Federation) specification, part of the WS Security set of
specifications. In his Tech•Ed keynote address today, Andrew Lees,
corporate vice president for Server and Tools Marketing at Microsoft,
showed how federated identity management based on WS-Federation and
the WS-* architecture will simplify the work of IT professionals as
they seek to cut the cost and complexity of passing identity
credentials across security and organization boundaries in a Web
services environment.

century based, as it was, on letters of credit and letters of

friends influential enough to provide a letter of introduction that
would gain you entrance to the things you'd like to see. A number of
enterprising gentlemen stepped into this breech, including one whose
name is still very well known, Thomas Cook.

Why Pay To Be An Identity Thief?
03/14/2005 05:27 PMFor all the furor over Choicepoint's
selli
ng of personal data to some identity thieves, some are pointing
out that it doesn't make much sense for such thieves to buy the data
when
so much is available for free online. A professor has written a
program searching out online resumes that often include the person's
social security number -- making identity theft simple (and free). Of
course, there are other methods of getting people's private info...
such as offering to give them
a cheap
ballpoint pen or
some
chocolate. Even better, one study showed that people will give
you their private info
if
you just ask for it nicely.

Mac OS X and Aqua has us spoiled with it’s ability to render high

one of the finest looking icons I’ve seen in a long time.

NY AG Wants Do Not Identity Theft Law
04/18/2005 02:28 PMNew York's Attorney General (and gubernatorial candidate) Eliot
Spitzer seems to show up wherever there's an issue that's getting a
lot of press. He took on Wall Street companies, spammers and
insurance scammers among many others. So, is it really any surprise
that he's now decided to
take on identity theft? Of
course, there already are laws against identity theft and fraud.
While they could be made better, it's not clear that's what's
happening here. In fact, one of the proposed laws speaks directly to
all of those recent data leaks from ChoicePoint, LexisNexis and
others. It would create a "Do Not Share" list that people could sign
up for, forbidding any of these companies to share your data. While
this might sound good on its face, it seems to be based on the idea
that there really isn't a good reason for companies to ever share your
data -- which isn't quite true. Many of the conveniences we have
these days is because of the data that's available. Granted, in
plenty of cases it may have gone too far, and these companies have
done a dreadful job -- but a full stop "do not share" list (which many
people would quickly sign up for without realizing the impact) could
greatly inconvenience many people. A much more reasonable solution
isn't to ban all sharing of information, but to give people more
control and visibility into (1) what information companies have about
them and (2) how it's being used. That way, individuals can work to
prevent the misuses, while still getting the benefits.

05/07/2004 01:29 PMLast issue, I talked about the differences between WS-Federation and
the Liberty Alliance schemes for federated identity. While having a
free-ranging discussion with Arvind Krishna, IBM's Vice President of
Provisioning and Security Development, I realized that the major
obstacle to consumer acceptance of federated identity might be the
issue of where data is stored: on the local PC, at a single "identity
provider" site, or scattered among all of the organizations with which
the user has accounts.

Ok, Ok, We Get It: People Will Give Away
Their Identity For Next To Nothing
03/24/2005 08:55 AMIn the past, we've linked to a variety of studies showing that when
offered some cheap trinket or nothing at all, people are often more
than willing to give up their private info that can be used for
identity theft. It seems the group doing this particular study likes
to do it every single year, but with a different "prize." Not quite
sure what it proves other than, yes, people are
still giving
away their info. Two years ago, it was
a cheap
ballpoint pen. Last year, they found that
some
chocolate would do the trick. This year, the winning entry is
apparently
a
chance to win some theater tickets. Of course, they're all
wasting their money. Another study last year found that you don't
need to offer anything. You just
ask
people for their info and they'll give it to you.

01/05/2005 06:26 AMThe old year has passed and a new one has dawned. Yet, we can never
really discard the old year (as we can throw away the calendar)
because its legacy lives on into the New Year. Still, each new year
brings hope for a better life and to mark this hope we make New Year's
resolutions - vows to better ourselves in some way. Last January, I
offered three possible resolutions for the identity management
industry - let's take a look at how well they were kept.

the username needed for authentication in an identity management

E-mail addresses need to be unique also, or else the mail won't get
through. So it seems like a perfect match, right?

Identity Theft Insurance
Identity Theft Insurance
03/22/2005 04:32 PMAllstate launches identity theft
coverage in Tennessee: Allstate insurance has started offering
identity-theft insurance as a rider to homeowners' policies.
Allstate's new identity theft expenses coverage is available for
Allstate homeowners and renters in Tennessee for approximately $30 a
year. It provides customers access to professional identity
restoration assistance. If a customer chooses to do the work on their
own, Allstate's policy provides up to $25,000 in reimbursement
coverage for expenses incurred to restore their identity, including
attorney fees, loan reapplication fees, credit report fees, and lost
wages.
Along with spam, identify theft is another parasite propeled by the
Net. Funny how these things open up entire revenue streams of their
own. For every problem, there is a solution...and someone who will
sell it to you.
I wonder if they could increate the premium based on Net usage? Do
they Google for you before they write the policy?
