Wrapping Your Arms Around e-Discovery

Overview

 As anyone who has been involved in litigation within the past 10 years can attest, eDiscovery has the potential of consuming a case in at least two ways. First, depending on the level of civility and collaboration between adversaries and the amount of Electronically Stored Information (“ESI”) the parties possess, the costs of production and related motion practice can dwarf those related to litigation on the merits. Second, allegations of spoliation and who failed to preserve ESI can quickly overshadow all other aspects of the case.

#StaySecure from GPU cracking passwords

Earlier this week we posted an article about the Extreme GPU Bruteforcer – a devices that will “Crack passwords w/ 450 Million passwords/Sec Speed“.  A device that is threatening to many.

Our advice to #staysecure -

Create alphanumeric passwords.  Your password should contain:

  • Symbols
  • Lower and upper case letters
  • More than 10 characters in length

Any kind of password can be broken using brute force.  However, using the character sequence above, it will take a long time to finish.  Cyber crooks tend to look for quick brake-ins compared to complex.
