Rounding out the final weeks of this session, N-Tier Web Applications, the Senior Capstone and Cyber-Warfare. All very interesting and challenging topics I especially have enjoyed the cyber warfare class learning all about the Russian Business Network, a nefarious group of hackers paying top black hats big bucks for the next zero-day exploit and the sinister "Kremlin" connection. We all must be very aware of what we place on the web since there are many ways that our personal information can be exploited and used to hurt us.

This week I experienced first hand the horrors of losing important personal information when I dropped my wallet in the theater never to be seen again, I only wish the thieves that found it would have simply taken the cash and dropped the wallet off at the lost and found instead I was forced to endure the agony of changing bank accounts, credit cards, and witnessing scenes from deliverance first hand while slogging though the line at our local government office to receive my replacement driver's license.

Ah, well that is behind me now and Life Lock has a new member...good stuff.
