Centrify Asia-Pacific Regional Director Matt RamsayIT security is at greater risk from the bad habits of system administrators than from bad guys actually hacking into infrastructure warns Centrify Asia-Pacific Regional Director Matt Ramsay.

Mr. Ramsay calls for a fresh look at the core problems bedevilling our enterprise security. “Do we only need to guard against the bad guys trying to hack our infrastructure?” he asks. “Or do we need to defend ourselves from the bad habits of the good guys who manage that infrastructure?

“The bad guys are a given: Their hack attempts are driven by every motivation from greed to ego. But the bad habits of the good guys – your beloved systems administrators – are another matter.”

Klaus Bartosch with his 36,000-signature paper plane protestA 36,000-signature petition folded into a giant paper plane has launched a credit card charge protest into the headquarters of Australian airline company Jetstar.

Delivered last week, the consumer revolt was kicked off last month on the Change.org website by Gold Coast businessman Klaus Bartosch who said he was sick of Jetstar’s $8.50 credit card surcharge. “These ‘booking and service fees’ are ridiculous,” he said.

“Jetstar is the worst. The airlines adds on $8.50 per passenger per flight to pay by credit card - hitting us with a huge surcharge for using the only real payment option they give us. 

"I posted a petition against what I regard as the latest retail scourge in Australia - credit card surcharges that are unique to this country. Jetstar's surcharge amounts to around 20% of their published airfare price! They deny it is a surcharge because they call it a ‘Booking and Services Fee’ - but it only applies when you pay by credit card.
