Researchers "hack the vote" in real-world e-voting attack - Ars Technica
A group of security researchers has published a fascinating study that demonstrates how to hack a Sequoia AVC Advantage voting machine.

The study was conducted by a group of voting machine security experts led by Ed Felten, the director of Princeton's Cent... (more)

KHARTOUM (Reuters) – Police used teargas to disperse protesters rallying in support of a Sudanese woman facing 40 lashes for wearing trousers in public Tuesday, a case that has become a public test of Sudan's indecency laws.

As a result, anytime you disclose an SSN you run a real risk of enabling identity theft. So far, most of the SSN-related ID theft problems have resulted from institutions t... (more)
