TODAY'S TOP STORY
_________________

Printer Security Issues
James Gaskin, ITworld.com

I hoped the "hacked zombie printer" stories were just security company
scare tactics. When someone asked me about securing printers during an
Altiris ManageFusion security panel, I questioned it and said no one I
knew has suffered from a hacked printer.

Unfortunately, printer hacks do exist, according to Jesper Jurcenoks,
CTO of NetVigilance. He was a panelist on my Security 2008: What You
Need Now panel at the ITEC show in Chicago, and he has first hand
experience.

Facebook 'better than print' for recruiting IT staff

Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networking sites have become the top
tool for hiring IT staff, a new survey among recruitment companies
reveals. According to 58 percent of IT recruitment firms polled by the
Association of Technology Staffing Companies, an industry body, such
sites are more useful in finding staff than traditional print
advertisements. And 49 percent said they were now more effective than
internet banner advertising.
