The dangers of wireless computing for the unsuspecting

Exploring the dark side of social networks
Computing Unplugged Magazine - June 2009

Watch your back: avoid becoming a victim of holiday scams
Computing Unplugged Magazine - December 2008
We originally ran this article in OutlookPower Magazine back in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina hit and everyone was in a more giving mood. However, given our current economic times, the scammers are back in full-force and it's perhaps even more relevant today. It's interesting, and sad, that a publication like OutlookPower has to spend so much time talking about scams and how to protect yourself. But email is a mass communication tool and with anything that has mass effect, you have people doing good and people doing not so good. Email certainly has provided enormous benefits to vast numbers of people, but it also creates risks. In this time of holiday celebration, many of us share goodwill, while others seek to tap into that goodwill for nefarious gain. So, before you start thinking about giving, make sure you watch your back.
The coming cyberwar
Computing Unplugged Magazine - August 2008
In addition to his job here at ZATZ, David Gewirtz is also the Cyberterrorism Advisor for the International Association for Counterterrorism and Security Professionals and a columnist for The Journal of Counterterrorism and Homeland Security International. As you probably know, Russia has attacked Georgia (Tblisi, not Atlanta) with tanks and troops. However, before the physical attack, there was a cyberattack against many of Georgia's online resources. First indications seemed to imply the cyberattack originated as a Russian offensive, while later analysis by some sources dispute that, claiming that "script kiddies" are behind the assault. David wrote this article for the current issue of Counterterrorism. Given the timing of the Georgia attack, we felt it'd also be of interest to our Computing Unplugged and OutlookPower readers and are reprinting it here with permission.
