		<description><![CDATA[Beyond physical security is the growing issue of cyber-security. Don&#8217;t think that cyber-security concerns are simply a question of whether a few laptops get hacked.

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re not much of a computer user, you might not be familiar with the term USB. It stands, in geek-speak, for Universal Serial Bus &#8212; and it&#8217;s the &#8220;universal&#8221; part of its name that can cause no end of security headaches. Most people just don&#8217;t understand how the USB port on most computers can [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not just scam artists who are doing everything they can to separate you from your birth date and social security number, it&#8217;s often the online Web sites you choose to use and &#8212; most troubling &#8212; those in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every topic needs its own day or month, and I guess cybersecurity is no exception. This October is the sixth annual Cybersecurity Awareness Month sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security. And while it may seem silly for cybersecurity awareness to need its own month, there&#8217;s nothing silly about keeping your computer secure.

And yet they came &#8211; zombies&#8230;everyday computers, brains hijacked by outsiders and linked together to form an army on the attack &#8211; they came in droves.

		<description><![CDATA[It used to be spying was hands-on. To turn someone into an Aldrich Ames, you had to tempt them with money or revenge or ideology, promise them sex or catch them at it. Today&#8217;s spies are less like a real-life James Bond and more like Lewis Skolnick from &#8220;Revenge of the Nerds&#8221;.
