Subject: File 5--Phone Fraud in the Telecom Industry
Information Week (4/12/93 pg 68) cites an article that appeared in
the
San Francisco Chronicle (4/7/93 pg D1)... Of the nations 700
largest
telecommunications customers, 70% reported toll fraud losses that
averaged $125,000 in the past five years.
Network Security
================
The April 12, 1993 edition of Information Week has a cover story on
'network insecurity'. Refer to "Are Your Networks Secure?" (pgs 30
-
35) for the full details. One amusing quote from an unnamed
security
analyst..."Companies would rather admit their CEO is an alcoholic
than acknowledge a security break."
Webster's Adds Nerdspeak
========================
The next edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, due
out
May 3, 1993, will add several computer-related words. The company
says these words have become common enough that people outside of
the
computer industry may need to look up their meaning. Some of the
words
added include "computerphobe", "technobabble", "vaporware", and
"voice mail".
