Business IT expert Calvert Technologies warns that complacency is the greatest danger facing organisations that seek productivity and cost benefits by embracing technology trends such as mobility and the Cloud.

The media is awash with news of the possible hacking of the plans for ASIO’s new headquarters in Canberra. As announced on ABC’s Four Corners program  the story reveals that hackers, working from overseas, have targeted key Australian Federal Government departments and major corporations with intent to steal national security secrets and vital business information. There have also been recent reports of secret US military data being obtained by hackers – this includes weapons system information for the F-35 fighter.

As shocking as this news may be, what can be more alarming is the fact that it’s not just government and big business that is targeted. With the rapid growth in Internet connectivity, online services, BYOD policies, mobile devices and remote access (to name just a few) the chances of any business, or home, being compromised have risen to new levels. The crooks are getting more cunning and widening their attack targets.

Some of the common views we come across are “it won’t happen to me”, and “I don’t have anything the hackers would be interested in”. The first opinion is actually quite wrong as it’s not “if” it will happen to you but rather “when”. No company or individual is safe anymore. And the second opinion is undervaluing what these hackers can use you and your technology for.

Despite a chilly Friday night, diehard Apple fanbois camped overnight in Rundle Mall for Saturday’s opening of Adelaide's first Apple Store.

By 7am, about 100 people were queuing before the glass-fronted store, which has been reported to bear a price tag of $2.5 million - although where that amount of money has gone is hard to fathom.

My son Luke and I joined the excitement at a much more gentile 9.45am, giving us 15 minutes to watch the pre-opening shenanigans as Apple’s so-called Geniuses in their distinctive blue t-shirts jogged around the adoring masses, high-fiving folk on the perimeter.

About 40 minutes later, a rather disgruntled Lukey and I finally made it through the front door, with half a dozen Geniuses on each side, cheering us in, handing out more high fives along with a pair of man-sized black Apple t-shirts (Luke may use his for a tent :-).]
