- The IRS and Treasury Department only have a little more than a week left to finish sending out a new stimulus check to millions of Americans, but problems and delays are already being reported.
- At least 13 million stimulus checks have been sent out to bank accounts that are either inactive or that the customer no longer has access to.
- This will lead to a delay in receiving the stimulus payment, because the money has to first be returned to the US Treasury.
Sometimes, it's easy to get the distinct feeling that folks in the government are bad at this whole governing thing, like when you learn that after months of dithering over whether to approve a new stimulus check for millions of Americans, they're now screwing up the disbursement of peoples' much-needed COVID relief payments.
After taking too long to approve a new round of money, and then only approving the pitifully low amount of $600 per check, now come reports that the government is causing more needless delays in people receiving their money … by sending out millions of checks to the wrong bank accounts. According to a statement from tax preparation company Jackson Hewitt, the IRS has sent stimulus payments to more than 13 million bank accounts that they shouldn't have. Some of the bank accounts, for example, might be closed, or the customer might not have access to the account any longer.
"The IRS has confirmed that processing issues will cause payment delays to many Americans waiting to receive this relief," reads a statement on the Jackson Hewitt website. "It is estimated that the IRS inadvertently sent payments to over 13 million bank accounts that are no longer open or valid."
According to a New York Times report, such accounts could include temporary accounts that tax preparation companies sometimes establish for clients so they can receive their tax refund. It's common for companies like Jackson Hewitt, TurboTax, and others to set up one of these accounts when clients approve having preparation fees deducted from their tax refund. These companies set up the temporary account, take out their fee, and then leave the rest for the client — but the temporary account becomes inactive after that.
The problem is that IRS records might still show such accounts being connected to the taxpayer. And compounding the problem, stimulus payments sent out to such accounts that taxpayers no longer have access to are required to come back to the US Treasury.
You can check and see if this issue applies to you by using the IRS' Get My Payment tool to see where your payment is being sent to. The $900 billion COVID relief bill that made these new stimulus checks possible also includes a January 15 deadline, at which point the disbursements will stop. If you haven't received your check by then — for example, because of the issues noted above — you can claim it through your 2020 tax return.

Connecting Youth and Strengthening Communities: The Data Behind Civic Engagement and Economic Opportunity4 years ago 4 years ago Leave your thoughts
This report was published by Opportunity Nation
This report examines the relationship between civic engagement and economic opportunity in the United States, in particular how volunteerism and group membership can build social capital for youth, promote upward mobility and contribute to a range of positive outcomes that benefit both the individual and the community. We hope to present a compelling case to employers, educational institutions and organizations that are considering volunteer or community service projects that such activities are not simply altruistic. They may also strengthen our economy and help young Americans gain the skills and experience they need to be successful.
For the first time, Opportunity Nation, with our research partner, Measure of America, explores civic engagement and economic opportunity through the lens of the Opportunity Index, a data-rich tool that measures a region's capacity to expand opportunity to residents using 16 economic, educational and community factors. Each state is ranked and more than 3,100 counties are graded A-F annually based on how well these regions equip residents with the conditions they need to thrive.

Derbyshire have signed Australia wicketkeeper-batsman Ben McDermott for the 2020 Vitality Blast and Royal London One-Day Cup.
McDermott will be available for the entire Vitality Blast campaign, as well as the 50-Over competition, subject to final approvals.
The 24-year-old has featured in nine Twenty20 matches for his national side, while his career average in the format is 31.35 in 43 appearances.
McDermott was one of the standout performers during the 2018-19 Big Bash, where he finished as the eighth-highest run-scorer in the competition with 376 runs for Hobart Hurricanes.
Since making his List A debut in 2014, McDermott has played in 19 matches and scored 927 runs at an average of 54.64, with a high-score of 117 against Queensland in 2018.
Head of Cricket, Dave Houghton said: "Ben comes to us with a good reputation and he is exactly what we are looking for in T20, a dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman who can bat throughout the order.
"In the 50-over competition his batting will be of great benefit and he gives us another option with the gloves. Ben's capable of taking the attack to the opposition as we look to build on white ball performances in 2019."
McDermott added: "This is a really exciting opportunity for me and I can't wait to test myself in new conditions with Derbyshire.
"The team did really well last season and I'm looking forward to helping them build. I love the short format stuff, but I've found good form in the 50-over competitions back home and I want to bring that to Derbyshire next summer."

Do you often feel like your money is running out before the month does? Do you struggle with budgeting and saving? If your answer is yes, have you considered a no-spend month?
No matter how much money you make, it's hard to keep up with the Joneses in today's world. We're constantly being told by peers or social media that we need this or that new thing in our lives. But for those of us who are trying to get ahead financially, sometimes a little restraint is needed. Therefore, a no-spend month can be a great way to save money and begin your journey to better money habits.
If you are ready to take a step towards a new money mindset and start saving money, read on to learn easy no-spend month rules to get you started.
What is a no-spend month?
As the name suggests, a no-spend month is a month-long commitment to not spend money on unnecessary things. A no-spend month can be a great way to kick off a savings goal or help pay off of lingering debt. Saving and paying off debt are both essential steps if you want to become financially free.
Even more importantly, a month-long financial detox can help you to understand a lot about yourself and your spending habits and weaknesses. Ultimately, it can trigger a mindset change that will aid you to make smarter money moves long term. For example, a month without spending can help you to:
- Break the cycle of living from paycheck to paycheck.
- Break shopping addictions or eliminate impulse spending.
- Build healthier money habits.
- Become more resourceful and use what you have.
Saying no to toxic coping mechanisms that involve spending money forces you to find cheaper and more sustainable solutions.
Although spending money isn't inherently bad and can even increase your happiness levels if spent in certain ways, it's also important to know how to pause and say "no".
In order to get you started, I've put together a list of seven easy rules for a no-spend month. These tips will help keep your spending in check, while also helping you save cash!
What are the rules for a no-spend month?
Before starting a no-spend month, it's important to set up rules that you'll be committed to for the month. The rules can vary depending on your needs and savings goals. However, the rule of thumb is that you can only spend money on essential needs and give up any wants. To simplify this, here's a list of things you can and cannot spend on:
Allowed spending during a no-spend month includes:
- Mortgage/rent
- Utilities
- Groceries
- Insurance
- Internet/phone
- Fuel for your vehicle or necessary public transportation
- Pet food/litter
Items to cut during a no-spend month:
- Leisure activities/entertainment
- Restaurants/bars
- Takeaway food/coffee
- Clothes
- Beauty services/products
- Anything else that's not essential (i.e. a want)
7 tips to start a no-spend month
In addition to the basic rules on how you can and cannot spend your money during the month of your financial fast, let's go through some further rules and tips that will help you to create a manageable action plan. Here are six great tips to start your no-spend month:
1. Figure out your motivations and goals for the month
Saving money for the sake of saving doesn't work for most of us. So get clear on why you want to do a no-spend month before you start. Ideally, write it down somewhere, and get specific.
How much money would you like to save? What bad spending habits are you trying to break? Or even better; think about what your goals mean for your future.
For example, do you want to financially prepare for a baby? Or save for a wedding? Or do you want to break a bad spending habit to become debt-free? Or perhaps you want to use this spending detox to help you reach financial independence faster.
Either way, everyone has different reasons for trying a no-spend month so make sure you set your goals before starting.
2. Establish your own no-spend month rules
In addition to the basic rule of only spending money on essential items, have a think if there are any other no-spend month rules you will want to stick to.
Are there exceptions, such as purchasing fresh groceries like dairy and bread? Are you ready to cut out treats and snacks such as sweets, biscuits or alcohol? Will you be using cash only during the month? Can you walk or cycle instead of driving or using public transport?
Make a list of what's an acceptable way of spending money and what's not, and make sure you follow the list.
3. Tell your friends/family about your plan
The key to a successful no-spend month is not only cutting back on your monthly outgoings but also being mindful of the temptations that you may come across. For example, have friends over for dinner or drinks instead of going out. This will make it easier to resist the urge to spend money at restaurants and bars. Or you can get your friends involved too by hosting a potluck party where everyone brings something. Who knows, this might even motivate your friends to try a no-spend month too!
Also, make sure that everyone in the household is on the same page. It's important that your partner and family understand and agree to the goals so that they can play along.
Further to having your friends/family supporting you, sharing your goal with others can actually help keep you accountable and more motivated towards your goal.

4. Identify your spending triggers
A no-spend month gives you a good opportunity to understand your spending habits and where your money usually goes on a daily basis. There is a psychology behind every habit. If you want to break your bad spending habits and create better ones, then understanding this psychology can be very helpful.
For example, if you are addicted to online shopping or tend to give up to impulse purchases and offers, here are a few tips that can help you:
- Clean out your inbox by opting out of any offer emails from the most tempting retailers.
- Disable credit card auto-fills on all online shopping sites for a month.
- Delete shopping apps and make a list of websites to avoid.
- Avoid going to shops when you're upset or hungry to avoid feeling-based purchases.
- Make a shopping list when doing grocery shopping to avoid impulse purchases.
5. Use what you already have
Another good thing about a no-spend month is using up what you already own. If you want to get the most out of your challenge, don't stock up before you start. That would just defeat the purpose.
Instead, do a pantry, cupboard and freezer inventory to see if you have things that have been there for months. While you're clearing the excess, try using any gift cards or loyalty points you might have. Using supermarket cashback apps can also help you to boost your savings while cutting spending.
6. Use the time to get stuff done
If you're used to browsing sites for the latest deals or scrolling through social media to see other people's luxury fashion items or newest gadgets, this is the perfect time to distract yourself with any productive activities. Clean out your wardrobe and closets, declutter and organise. Donate, throw away, or sell any stuff you don't need. No-spend money is also a great time to start a side hustle that can help to boost your finances and save more money.
7. Track your spending and progress
Make sure you keep track of your progress throughout the no-spend month. When you defeat temptation, write it down. Write down the items you decided not to buy and how much you saved by not buying them. Or when you find a way not to buy something you usually do, track that too. These small successes will help you stay motivated.
Once the month is over, calculate how much you've saved and ensure you move the amount to your savings account. This way you won't get tempted to spend it!
Finally, compare the saved amount against your original no-spend month goal. Did you hit it? If you did, congratulations! And if not, take some time to identify why not and what you could do better moving forward.
Healthy spending habits beyond a no-spend month
A no-spend month can be a great challenge to save some extra money. But it can be very easy to see it just as that, a short-term experiment. You might want to go back to your normal spending patterns after the month is over without considering what happens next. In fact, you might even spend more than before the no-spend month to make up for the things you missed.
A no-spend month is an interesting way to see where your day-to-day spending goes. It can also help you identify your unnecessary or even toxic spending habits. But what you really need is a more permanent solution to keep your finances in check.
If you're considering a no-spend month, try to look at it as an opportunity to implement a total reset on your money mindset, spending patterns and limiting money beliefs. Don't end the month and go straight back to your old spending habits.
You might be surprised to learn that you don't really need all the stuff you think you do. So, instead of 'no spending', try something new: 'mindful spending'. Stop before pulling your wallet out and really consider whether or not it's worth it. This will help you in the long run and aid you to make smart choices on how you spend your money on the things that matter most to you.

Art is an important subject where interiors are concerned, such as placement of and style. As a literary traveler, art exhibitions make for vivid visual experiences and I take every advantage I can to visit exhibitions and shows when I'm gallivanting around the world.
Maintaining a blog is not only a textual endeavor, there has to be visual beauty for it to make an impact on the reader, drawing them to stay and to enjoy the experience. I don't just use art to illustrate my posts randomly, the images always have meaning to what I am writing about. For instance, when I was presenting my book of poetry Anywhere But Here, I used an image of the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel to provide a visual manifestation of my poem "God's Articulate Finger," which I highlighted in the post.
When I traveled to Milan to cover the iSaloni trade fair, I saw an exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings and notebooks, a review of which I paired with his writings to create a post; and when I experienced the exhibition devoted to Madame Cézanne at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I wrote about how I thought it might feel to live with her visage staring from a wall day-in and day-out. I hope my musings on are of interest.

If you have the talent, but not the resources, improvise.
After trying for several months to get some sort of online checklist for our project, one of my guys builds it for me in about 16 effort hours. Its' quick, easy, and does exactly what we have been wanting.
I found that we had a very large talent pool, I had a "rogue" server, and his mad skills made for us, a simple tool which I hope to package and make available at sourceforge in an effort to assist others who need similar things.
Go Anthony, You r t3h r0x0r!
Those in the know understand that a computers lifespan is about 3 years. Mine is 5 years old.
I've been wanting to upgrade my computer for about 3 years now. So many things have changed. I'll list a few
I'm running pc100 currently the new hotness is DDR2. Ok I've missed 2 major ram upgrades. DDR, and RIMM.
I'm running a 3200 XP. Current hotness FX 55 939 chipset. Significance here is the 939 chipset. AMD will be moving all of it's chips to the 939 chipset. This solves several problems and unifies mb options.
I'm running ata 100 current hotness is SATAII with ncq. Significance is the ncq here. Old HDs get data in the order requested where ncq will get them in the most effective method. This will make hd access seem much faster without having more bandwidth, or faster drives. I'm VERY excited about this
Mobos are getting quite a few makeovers. Intel is going with a new BTX format to help reduce heat. Their cpus are running hot and AMD is loving the fact that they dont need to go to btx. Matter o fact, btw could cause them problems because of how the RAM is situated. Nvidia nforce 2 . Like it or not it seems BIOS will be replaced with EFI. There is the upcoming Matrix RAID and wireless usb. Lastly we have PCI express slated to replace the old and busted pci, and agp slots.
If you are pondering when to upgrade your computer, I'd suggest doing what I'm doing. Wait until NCQ is on the AMD, AND when dual core AMD 64s are available. The dual core is the next really big thing in chips and to miss that would be, well, so last week.
Mayumi and I have been talking about a roomba for about 2 months now. We have been looking for ways to decrease our workload at home and give us more time with the baby, and with each other. Last Friday night I was going to buy a roomba at Target. We went there and did a little shopping, then I head on over to the vacuum aisle with a jaunty walk and a screaming kid. Scan scan scan. Hey! They are all gone. No more roomba at the Target, I lament as I wrent my clothes in the anguish of my heart.
During last week I visited the Irobot store several times looking at roomba. I pondered how I could achieve this sexy little guy locally. Then I promptly forgot about it.
I was a good husband last week. I did laundry; I cooked great meals, and Friday, oh Friday. I left work early and instead of playing some games when I got home, I convinced George to head on over to Lowes with me to get some groceries for dinner that night. I made a (pardon my humble opinion) awesome pot of spaghetti and meat sauce, garlic bread, brochette, and salad. Dont discount that salad just because its last, it ROCKED TOO. This was after I vacuumed the house, did laundry, and cleaned the bedroom. So George and Kimi come over and we have dinner, then go to Mayumis favorite asian market and buy a lot of stuff. What a happy day. I get some good daddy time off Sat so I go to Best Buy to buy some virgin mobile phones. After walking the store I see it. Roomba! I have a choice of the fire-engine-red $150 puppy or the $250 discovery. The main difference seems to be that the discovery has more buttons, and will go recharge itself if it gets tired. I get the cheap one.
I sneak it inside and get it on the charger and spend the next 7 hours in anticipation of exciting the wife. Time passes. Dinner is eaten, baby sleeps, surprise is sprung. I tell Mayumi Ill vacuum. I walk downstairs and emerge with the roomba fully charged. Place it on the floor, and for the next hour we watch it and giggle as it makes its crazy path across the floor. Upon completion I remove the dust-bin and gasp. There has to be 6 cubic inches of cat fur in there. After a recharge it does the same thing upstairs with similar results.
This thing has some cool path finding, especially when its in a tight space and looks to be stuck, it never got lost in such a manner as to give up. It doesnt have the strongest vacuum on the market, but it does pick up most stuff. This morning before leaving for work, I plopped the little girl down and left her to her work as I went off to my work.
When I get home, the living room will be freshly vacuumed, which gives the added bonus of meaning that the room is also straightened up. I spend the time to clean up, roomba takes care of the vacuuming up. Fair deal Id say.
Ok.. time to spill the beans on a few odd dreams.
Most recently (last night) I had this really odd dream, I can't remember most of it but here is what I do remember. I was in my car in the passenger side (odd) and I had a bag of weed. Not goldenrod but the illegal stuff, only it was kinda like fennel in the bag and when it came out it was fuzzy. Some spilled out on the carpet and immediately got stuck. I rolled the bag up and hid it under the glove box. This all came about because of my making some herbal tea last night to help with some chest congestion I've been fighting (thanks Jeanie). I've got that part figured out. Suddenly I'm in a house that I don't recognize with people I only know in the dream and the pot is back with me. I can't seem to get rid of it and don't really want it, and some spills out onto the carpet and suddenly its all over the place. I can't clean it up and then Rick Jefferson's parents come in. Suddenly I know it is their house that we are hanging. This comes from me recently hearing Rick has had a little girl. His mother keeps asking what kind of grass we have gotten on the floor because it won't vacuum up. I go outside to avoid this and see Christina C. , a previous girlfriend of mine, walking out of her new house with her husband. I say hey to her and they turn around and her husband morphs from what he really looks like to something completely different. I know the face of the guy he has changed into in real life but can't quite remember who it is. She says Hi and I tell her she's moved in next door to Ricks parents!. She introduces me to her husband Luke. Now Christina's husband isn't named Luke. I can only assume Luke refers to another of my friend's long term boyfriend. I try to shake hands with him but he obviously does not want to do this, threatened or something I can't quite place, so I put on a nice big friendly smile and throw my hand into position. He says hey and motions for them to continue on their walk. Awake.
I've been running around in a game like city probably caused by playing some online game. I'm at UNCG but it's much more like an old church or castle. I overhear that that Chancellor has fallen in a room and hit her head on a chair which has killed her. I know at this point that much of the work she was trying to do will never come to fruition. I am walking through the building and walk through the room she fell in, which is full of rows of chairs one would use for an assembly, but the room is heavily carpeted and it reminds me of a scene in a movie where a very expensive and exclusive auction will occur, or of a waiting room at a funeral home viewing. The chancellors funeral is a very large event with a horse drawn funeral carriage, then a hearse, both with a casket inside. Very elaborate. Awake.
I voted for the next four years of pain.
Without a doubt I've contributed to the next four years of suckage. It really dosen't matter who I voted for, because both candidates are bad candidates. I hovered over the Libertarian candidate for a little while and then came to my senses and decided to actually vote.
I was a little concerned that my voteing this time seemed to be more voteing against someone rather than for someone. Says something about the times I guess.
I also did my typical no vote for constitutional changes. The constitution should not be meddled with without much ado.
I skipped over many candidates because I didn't know them, or what they stood for. Even if it was just one candidate in the race no vote for you.
BTW evidently in Greensboro when going to the alphebetical line for your name
P is included in the h - o section. Go figure.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study correlations between the national real estate investment trusts (REIT) markets in the USA and the four Asia-Pacific countries of Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore, and document the extent to which the time variation present in these correlations can be explained from a set of 11 economic and financial factors. Both US dollar and local currency returns are used. Design/methodology/approach: Time-varying correlations are estimated using a DCC-GARCH model that allows for asymmetries in both the correlations and volatilities. The correlations are then regressed on a set of four economic and seven financial factors, and tests of statistical significance are conducted in order to discriminate between relevant and irrelevant explanatory variables. The authors estimate a fixed-effects panel regression as well as individual regressions for each dynamic correlation. Findings: Significant time variation is found in the four REIT correlation series. Panel regressions suggest that REIT correlations rise with increases in the interaction of national inflation rates and with higher global equity market uncertainty. It is also found that REIT correlations fall with increases in the US default risk premium and global equity market volume. Relaxing the structure imposed by the panel data model, individual regressions confirm most of the results, although there are some exceptions. It is also found that there are no substantial differences in the dynamics of the correlation coefficients when switching from the US dollar to local currency denominated returns. Practical implications: Investors in real estate securities across national markets should take into account information about the credit spread, the volatility and volume of global equity markets, and inflation rates when modeling correlations. These variables may alert the investors to the possibility that, under a set of circumstances, investing in real estate across different markets may not provide the expected diversification benefits. Another implication relates to the impact of currency hedging. It appears that the impact of switching from US dollar to local currency denominated returns does not substantially change the time dynamics of the correlations, or the importance of explanatory variables. Originality/value: Although considerable progress has been made in modelling time-varying correlations between various REIT markets, to the authors' knowledge, this is one of the first papers to investigate the underlying causes of the co-movement, especially between the US and Asia-Pacific markets. The paper's results will help investors and risk managers make better choices by identifying those factors that have more systematic effects on the change in the REIT correlations, rather than more transient forces.

The bakery at 3020 Leavenworth has closed its doors after two and a half years. Owner Ellie Pegler fought hard to overcome the stigma attached to her business after an altercation on site last November. After her employee's tip jar was repeatedly stolen, Pegler apprehended one of the teenaged suspects and held him in her store until police arrived. Neighbors rallied for the fourteen year old after Pegler posted photos of her scraped knuckles and surveillance of the restaurant showing her pinning the teen against a fridge waiting for police.
With time and perspective, Pegler issued a public apology not only to the young man and his family, but to the entire Midtown community. She went on to donate to the ACLU in an effort to make amends, as well as to open communication with any community members willing to voice their concerns.

To misquote Benjamin Franklin, in this world nothing can be certain except death, taxes, and security being the biggest concern for cloud migration. Flexera's most recent State of the Cloud report last month laid it bare; more than four in five (81%) enterprises said security was the main challenge, ahead of managing spend and governance.
The latter two areas are, naturally, also linked to security. But as cloud workloads become increasingly complex, and as multi-cloud moves from a nice-to-have to key for competitive advantage, the security headaches only increase.
A key piece of the security jigsaw is identity and access management (IAM). Get it wrong, or neglect it altogether, and a major hole will open up. After all, if your admins don't know who has access to what, how can you be sure of security?
Tenfold is an IAM and access rights management company based in Austria. CloudTech spoke with Simon Cuthbert (left), an IT security veteran and responsible for international business development at Tenfold, on challenges organisations face today, cybersecurity awareness, and how one trade show got him hooked on the industry.
CloudTech: Hi Simon. Tell us about your career to date – as well as current roles and responsibilities at Tenfold Security?
Simon Cuthbert: I have given 30 years to the IT security industry. Having been in sales since the age of 15 and cutting my teeth with Xerox in the mid-90s, I was given the opportunity to join Content Technologies, the developers of MIMEsweeper, as inside sales. Hammering through piles of leads each day taught me very quickly how to deal with rejection and hardening me for my future career. It was here that I attended my first trade show; I was hooked. I just loved everything about it.
Due to the external sales experience I had gained in previous sales roles, my sales manager at the time, the wonderful Catherine Jamieson gave me the chance to build a reseller and distribution channel. Along with the team around me we increased the channel revenue by 200% year on year and for me, channel has been the driving force behind my success.
Since then I have held various sales management and senior leadership role with companies such as CA, Varonis, Zeus Technologies, AEP Networks and Protected Networks.
Today I run my own company, VARChannels. We represent security vendors entering and growing new territories and my focus right now is with Tenfold Security where I am helping with global business development. My role is to help Tenfold to expand the business and grow revenues outside of their home market, DACH where they have seen massive success due to the quality of the software solution that they provide and their commitment to working with the channel.
We're now growing the channel in the UK and US markets as well as other European countries such as the Netherlands and France and are seeing a positive uptake from both channel partners and their end users.
CT: What does Tenfold Security do in your own words and how does it aim to do it better than the competition?
SC: Organisations today have a massive problem. Most are using native Windows tools to manage users' access to data via Active Directory. This gives them very little visibility of who actually has access to critical data, how they have gained that access and most importantly, if they actually require access to certain data to perform their role.
Essentially, users are over-privileged and this is a problem for a number of reasons. GDPR and other regulatory processes require organisations to have a least-privilege policy, meaning users should only have access to the data they need to perform their role, this in simply not possible when using AD to manage permissions. The next challenge you face is how to revoke permissions but again, without knowing who needs access to what, it is close to impossible to do this. This is what I really like about the Tenfold solution; it allows IT to not only get visibility of how access to data is structured but also enables them to work with the data owners (heads of departments) to manage that access through a really simple to use dashboard to set up policies and procedures that can then be managed by the business rather than IT.
CT: What are the key issues companies are facing with regard to identity and access management today? How has this landscape evolved over the past 12-18 months and what should we expect next?
SC: One of the biggest challenges faced by organisations today are what I call 'cyber insiders'. These are the people that cause internal data breaches either by design or by accident. When users are over-privileged it leaves organisations wide open to internal breaches:
- The sales guy moving to a competitor who thinks it is okay to take 'his' customer list with him
- The developer that has been bribed by a third party to leak the latest piece of IP
- The admin assistant who is just clicking through file shares during her lunch break, only to discover that the person next to her doing the same role is earning 40% more than she is
Lockdown has meant that millions of people are working from home. This only exacerbates the problem because the business now has even less visibility and control over data access.
CT: What is Tenfold doing for its clients amid the Covid-19 pandemic?
SC: It's a really tough time for everyone right now both mentally, emotionally and physically. Many businesses were not prepared for the massive changes that they needed to implement in such a short space of time to ensure that employees could work from and still be effective. Here at Tenfold we have been working with many of our customers to help them make this transition as painless as possible by being available as much or as little as they have required us. Our support team have done an amazing job and have performed above and beyond to ensure our customers are still able to operate.
CT: What should organisations be more generally aware of with regards to cybersecurity during this time? Other companies have mentioned the risks of remote working and risks of misconfigurations.
SC: This is a great question – as I mentioned earlier, remote working brings with it a whole new set of security challenges and key to overcoming that is knowing who needs access to data, when, why and for how long. This should not be left in the hands of IT as they don't know who needs access, why would they? This needs to be put in the hands of the data owners to ensure that only the right people have access to the right data at the right time.
Also, I think that we need to not only look at the technical risks but the risks of the mental health of our employees. Many are working from home for the first time, are having to juggle remote working with childcare, dogs barking in the background and also the loss of the social interaction that working from home brings. If they have to wait hours, even days in some circumstances to get on with their job, this could add to their worries.
CT: You were due to speak at the Cyber Security and Cloud Expo on 'how to counter data theft by eliminating the insider threat'. What would the audience have learned from your session?
SC: I have to be really honest here – I love presenting. Educating audiences has been a passion of mine for over 25 years. I have specialised in data security for most of my career and without sounding like an egotistical monster, I have a lot of knowledge on the subject.
The key takeaways for the audience would have been:
- Protect your critical data
- Deploy a 'least-privilege' policy: Ensuring users only have access to data sets that they require
- Regular review of access rights: Data owners must review access rights regularly to ensure these are up-to-date
- Regular reporting: Gaining immediate visibility of changes
- Put ownership of permissions onto data owners: They are the people who know who should have access
- Traceability: If the worst happens, at least you will have a better understanding
CT: What does the rest of 2020 hold in store for Tenfold Security?
SC: Due to the outbreak of Covid-19 we have had to make some changes in our Go-To-Market strategy. We will continue to work with and support our Customers and Partners around the world. We had heavily invested in shows and events both here in the UK and also in the US but of course, while we observe lockdown, we need to look at new and innovative ways work finding new customers. We are currently offering free web demos of our solution (and this is keeping our pre-sales team very busy right now!). We have also developed a virtual machine so that prospect customers and partners can get hands on to test all the benefits that our solution offers without the need to go into the office to set anything up and this is proving to be a real asset.
CT: What is the key lesson you have learned from your 30-year career in cybersecurity?
SC: Another great question! I was asked this question by a young man entering the industry just a few months ago. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing people during my time in this industry and have built some high performing teams.
People are what makes this industry great. I have always tried to conduct myself with humility, honesty and integrity, not because it serves any type of purpose but because, in my opinion, it is the right way to be and it has always served me well. Keep challenging yourself and others, don't be afraid to ask questions, it's okay to fail but above all, love what you do and do what you love.
Editor's note: Tenfold are hosting a webinar on May 13 around the top five security risks in access management. You can find out more and register by visiting here. If you are unable to make the date, the webinar will be available on-demand.

User accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. The primary cause of excessive inodes is typically due to Users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past an acceptable amount of inodes.

Findings from DoubleVerify's 1H 2010 Report Drawn from 150+ Billion Impressions from Industry's Leading Ad Networks, Publishers, Ad Exchanges & DSPs
New York, NY – DoubleVerify, the pioneer and worldwide leader in online media verification, released findings from its 1H 2010 Trust Index. The report provides insight into compliance and brand safety in online advertising with the intentions of increasing trust and accountability in the market. Highlights from the Trust Index include: identification of the best-in-class networks in the market with regard to non-compliance, benchmarks for advertising delivery and types of non-compliance and an analysis of the overall industry performance. DoubleVerify analyzed hundreds of advertisers, thousands of verified campaigns and more than 150 billion advertising impressions between January and June 2010 to produce the bi-annual report, which can be downloaded at: http://www.doubleverify.com/trust-index-1h-2010/
To identify the top performers in the industry, DoubleVerify analyzed networks based on benchmarks of non-compliance, including: instances of ads served out of inclusion lists, in exclusion lists, alongside inappropriate content and ads served to international audiences. Companies determined top performers include (listed alphabetically): AOL's Advertising.com, AudienceScience, Burst Media, FOX Audience Network, interclick, Microsoft Media Network, Tribal Fusion and ValueClick Media.
"In order for brand dollars to shift online, advertisers need to trust that their campaigns are running as intended and the Trust Index provides an overview of how the industry is doing against those expectations," said Oren Netzer, CEO of DoubleVerify. "Our data shows that improvements are being made across the board to increase brand safety and trust. Verified campaigns especially showed vast improvement in non-compliance. Nevertheless, there's still work to be done and we hope this data will provide benchmarks for advertising vendors to guide them toward these goals and move the industry forward."
DoubleVerify took additional data into consideration when analyzing overall non-compliance of the online advertising industry, including: instances when multiple ads from the same advertiser were served, when ads were served alongside a competitor and when ads were served below the fold. According to the report, the most compliant advertising networks had an average of 2 percent incidents of non-compliance over the first six months of 2010. In comparison, the ten networks that struggled most saw an average of 37 percent incidents of non-compliance. Additionally, the most compliant platforms (DSPs, Ad Exchanges and Trading Desks) showed an average of 6 percent incidents of non-compliance – outperforming the lower tier of players by almost five times.
While each industry sector showed an effort to decrease non-compliance, all players were subject to fluctuations that illustrate the fact that even the best players face issues. The Trust Index details the overall average of non-compliance as well as the standard deviation of each group of industry players, showing how much variation there is from the "average". The standard deviation for the top performing advertising networks, for example, was 17 percent across campaigns. The standard deviation for the lowest performing ad networks was 28 percent.
DoubleVerify also analyzed how non-compliance on specific campaigns changed over time. Advertisers who worked with DoubleVerify to monitor, remediate and block non-compliant impressions witnessed a 67 percent decrease in inappropriate content and a 72 percent decrease in internationally targeted traffic.
Additional highlights around overall advertising delivery norms include:
• 44 percent of ads on verified campaigns were served below the fold
• 10 percent of advertising pages included multiple ads by the same advertiser
• 4 percent of ads in verified campaigns were shown alongside a competitor's ads
For more information and to view the report in its entirety, visit http://www.doubleverify.com/trust-index-1h-2010/
DoubleVerify used a robust set of data analysis tools to analyze online advertising campaign activity across more than 150 billion advertiser campaign impressions from January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010. Types of non-compliance analyzed include instances of ads served out of inclusion lists, in exclusion lists, alongside inappropriate content, multiple ads from the same advertiser, ads alongside a competitor, below the fold ads and ads served to international audiences. The data in the analysis was carefully normalized to the best of our ability. Advertising delivery providers were categorized into 3 main categories: Advertising Networks, Platforms (includes DSPs, ad exchanges and trading desks) and Publishers. Video Networks and Video Publishers were not included in this analysis.
