Today's focus: Online banking might not be so secure after all

By Jeff Caruso

Online banking might not be so secure after all

If you've become comfortable with banking online, this column
might undo that in a hurry. Winn Schwartau is back, and this
time he describes how his bank managed to violate multiple basic
security principles and screw over one of his employees - more
than once.

The scoop on ITIL

You've heard plenty from vendors (and perhaps your own managers)
about the IT Infrastructure Library, or ITIL. But what's the
User View? Chuck Yoke weighs in.

More funding needed

Johna Till Johnson asks you to write your congressman on a
subject that ought to be near and dear to every IT person's
heart: R&D for science and technology.

Cutting through network messes

Does your IT team have a MacGyver or two on it? Mark Gibbs this

network plumbing no matter how convoluted it may already be.

IT Borderlands is our newest Weblog, written by Ken Fasimpur, IT
coordinator at a midsize company. IT never gets a break, he
reports: A friend sought him out over the July 4 weekend when
her Web browser stopped working. He thinks about installing a
fresh copy of Firefox, but ultimately re-installs Internet
Explorer. Read why at:
