Aside from people's general comments that this is both obvious and many other people have already presented this type of information before I think their assessment is inaccurate. First of all their numbers make it obvious that they are only monitoring semi-open forums and not completely closed ones. Additionally their data looks like it is US and Russia-centric, not focusing on the numerous markets that exist in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, western Africa and South America. Plus overall they are mixing up organized crime and specialization. What they are describing is mature capitalization with job specialization moreso than organized crime. They are limiting themselves to groups where amateur data thieves require specialists to perform higher risk elements of cashing out, using the stolen data.
The real elements of organized crime are the ones where traditional non-cyber groups hire computer experts to get data, and move money through traditional, well-established means. These groups are the ones going after high profile money and you'll never see anything online about them until a law enforcement case brings them down.
i use lysol wipes to clean my keyboard because unlike the spray i can make sure its not dripping inside on the motherboard. either way make sure its dry before you turn it back on just in case although i've never had a problem.
these guys are such press whores. you can google to find a ton of open drop sites like this. the fact that they bothered making ridiculous statistics and press release on something so common just shows how pathetic they are
Love it or hate it it's irrelevant. eNic was not the first registrar that did this. There is definately prior art that will make this patent invalid. I'm still investigating dates, but the ccTld i'm thinking of didn't do it for advertising, just a redirect to a domain doesn't exist. If anyone knows the original post the link and date.
Working for a midcap, my take is that your main stumbling point is getting past HR that has a list of "good schools" with high success rates for employees. Once the resumes get to managers, though, where you went probably won't matter if your resume is strong. Obviously MIT and Cal Tech always look impressive, but when if your resume said Georgia Tech vs Emory you would still have equal consideration. Additionally I've noticed that more and more non-tech majors are among the strongest candidates. We routinely see people with liberal arts degrees or non-relevant scientific majors in computer science/engineer fields. With companies like Google and Microsoft stealing a lot of the talent pool, mid sized companies are increasingly willing to experiment to find the most qualified candidates.

NNKK is absolutely right. You need to file a police report immediately if you want to fight this on multiple levels, because it is theft.
the article's title is so misleading. immunity's silica, although not cheap has been out for years. http://www.immunityinc.com/products-silica.shtml

i'm glad to see someone still loves the constitution, but the aclu will fail as always

amen to that. he's as balanced as any host could be. i'm pouring a 40 out for him tonight
interesting research, but we should browbeat the research for calling it phlashing

I agree with the flyby, this shouldn't be viewed as a bad thing. I definitely see a chance for new talent to hire.

no ones arguing the sweetness of programs like foxit, there just aren't too many fortune 500 companies that i know of with it installed
