Why The Media 'Can't Handle the Truth' About Accretive Health
Contributor's Note: We at insideARM.com have been covering the Accretive Health (NASDAQ:AH) "scandal" since Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson first published her 100+ page report indicting (in the common, not legal sense of the word) Accretive for badgering patients into making payments and other debt collection abuses --or at least that's what an overwhelming majority of mainstream media outlets heard when they rained down invective in headline after headline on the Illinois-based revenue cycle management company.

Game of Drones
You probably haven’t noticed it (and that’s the way they like it) but we are entering the drone era: a period in which airborne, remote-controlled vehicles will not just transform warfare but everyday life. With our war in Afghanistan winding down, and microtechnology on an ever-ascending arc, drones are about to become a common technology for use by law enforcement, environmental and science agencies, universities and commercial enterprises – any entity that has an interest with having an eye in the sky. The FAA is preparing rules that will govern safety issues, who can have a drone, how the technology can be used, et al. This month it loosened its existing regulations to allow law enforcement agencies to fly larger drones. Recently, in the runup to the NATO summit in Chicago, we got this.

Reminder To Congress: Cops' Cellphone Tracking Can Be Even More Precise Than GPS
In the wake of a historic Supreme Court ruling that police can't use GPS devices planted on a car to track suspects without a warrant, Congress is reconsidering the question of what kinds of location tracking constitute an invasion of privacy. And one privacy and computer security professor wants to remind them that the gadget we all carry in our pockets can track us more precisely than any device merely attached to our car--even without the use of GPS.

Congress Advances Bill To Protect Cell Phone Users' Privacy
The Supreme Court showed unanimity in its discomfort with electronically tracking people without a warrant in its GPS tracking decision in January. But as conveyed by the justices’ written opinions, the splintered reasoning behind rebuking the practice of placing a geo-tracking device on someone’s car without a warrant laid bare the disconnect between how far our technology has come and the outdated privacy protection laws that are struggling to keep pace.

WikiLeaks: No, Media 'Morons,' We Didn't Help Iran Execute An Israeli Spy
Since WikiLeaks first released its flood of classified State Department memos in December of 2010, the secret-spilling site's critics have been searching for evidence that Julian Assange's disregard for official secrecy would directly hurt some innocent bystander.

Boards Are Still Clueless About Cybersecurity
The Governance of Enterprise Security: CyLab 2012 Report, released today by Carnegie Mellon CyLab and its sponsor, RSA, The Security Division of EMC, examines how boards of directors and senior management are managing privacy and cyber risks. Although two previous reports were conducted in 2008 and 2010, this is the first global survey on these issues and the first to compare responses by industry sector. The cross-sector comparisons in the 2012 report provide a compelling picture that critical infrastructure companies need to put cybersecurity and privacy on their boards' agendas and place greater emphasis at the executive level on protecting their organizations' digital assets (data, software programs, and networks).

Feds Catch Their Illegal Limit In Operation Phish Phry
Operation Phish Phry, a multinational investigation conducted in the United States and Egypt that commenced in 2007, revealed how Egyptian-based hackers "phished" bank account numbers and related personal identification information from an unknown number of bank customers. The victims were usually contacted by what seemed to them an official email from banks or credit card vendors. The communication directed the recipients to fake financial institution websites, which looked like the real deal. Upon arriving at these phishing sites, customers unfortunately entered their account numbers, passwords and other personal identification information.

The 'Not-So-Good' Good Life Of A Russian Hacker
Judging by the pictures on his VKontake social networking page, Vladislav Khorokhorin (or Horohorin in phonetic English) has a pretty good view of the French countryside in Aix-en-Provence. It's the kind of town that -- if it were allowed -- companies would have bottled up the pristine air and sold it for a premium. There is Vladislav in aviator glasses holding his smartphone with the rolling blue hills of southern France behind him. Oh, but wait. He's behind bars. The Russian alleged hacker is suffering there with his Angry Birds and his 24-hour access to all things digital while holed up in a French prison de luxe.
