Workers steal company data

Six out of every 10 employees stole company data when they left their job last year, said a study of US workers, reports BBC News.

The survey, conducted by the Ponemon Institute, said so-called malicious insiders use the information to get a new job, start their own business, or for revenge.

"They are making these judgements based out of fear and anxiety," the institute's Mike Spinney told BBC News.

Cable and satellite TV providers are working on a free online video service to deliver up-to-date cable shows to computers and mobile phones, but the industry is worried the project could cannibalise pay-TV's long-standing revenue model, says Reuters.

Millions of US consumers are already watching broadcast TV shows on free Web sites such as Hulu.com. However, cable network programming is available primarily on cable and satellite TV services, such as Comcast and DirecTV Group, or nascent video services from phone companies.

"This is about bringing new amounts of content to the Internet in a business model that continues to support the creation of that content," said Sam Schwartz, executive VP of Comcast Interactive Media.

The author or authors of a malicious software program that has infected more than 12 million computers since it was released have begun distributing a new version after computer security teams crippled the original's ability to do damage, states The New York Times.

The new version, known as Conficker B++, was spotted by security researchers at SRI International. They reported last week that the software was an effort by cybercriminals to find a new way to communicate with their programs after they had succeeded in infecting target computers.

The Conficker code is intended to create compromised computers that work together in a network known as a botnet.

Last November, Olympus introduced the $1 299.99 E-30 digital SLR (body only), which featured in-camera effects that could be added to shots on the fly.

Today, Olympus is introducing the E-620, a new D-SLR with those same effects, but in a much smaller D-SLR body at a lower price, reports PC Magazine.

Like the more-expensive E-30, the E-620 will use a 12.3MP live MOS sensor, house a 2.7-inch LCD screen that swivels on a retractable arm, and offer six "Art Filters”.
