NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Jeff Caruso

How does this happen? Financial giant Citigroup lost a package
containing the names, Social Security numbers and payment
history information of millions of customers. Who puts this kind
of information into a mobile form? Actually, Citigroup says it
is now abandoning this practice and plans to send the data
electronically and encrypted. Way to shut the barn door after
the horse's identity has been used to run up a credit card bill.

Network Life's Storage Strategy Guide

Managing data storage at home is getting to be as big a problem
as managing enterprise storage - or at least it feels like it,
what with massive music files, photos, videos, e-mail messages
and who knows what else filling up your hard drives. That's why
a centralized storage strategy is a must for serious home
networkers. This week's Network Life will help you form that
strategy with feature stories and product test results.
