An article by Roy E. Hadley, Jr. appearing on the National Law Review, also posted on the Barnes & Thornburg website.

This article discusses the increasing frequency and complexity of cyber hacking incidents in the U.S.

The article discusses "phishing" attacks, and also looks at the recently publicized breaches of the U.S. Chamber of  Commerce.  The article states, " “Years ago we used to say people got in through server vulnerabilities, but if we look back at this year of Microsoft vulnerabilities, we see a high majority of them we would classify as client-side bugs,” said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at San Francisco-based vulnerability management vendor nCircle. “Many of these attacks require the user to take some action, but they’re taking advantage of a piece of software that is otherwise silent but the user has activated it.”"
