To impress his crush, the Bulgarian hacker invented the first mutating computer virus-engine and nearly destroyed the anti-virus industry. Why i...

Very careful consideration has to be given to determine the most effective methods of control and regulation of IT. So clarifies Martin Wasik, Professor of Law at Manchester University in his f...
Facing the Challenge of Risk and Vulnerablity in an Information Society

For some people, the starting point is a particular system that, because of its size and complexity is unreliable and therefore generates vulnerability. It may be the design, implementation or integration of sophisticated technological devices within the system which reduces its reliability. From another perspective, social vulnerability is ultimately a subjective experience of indivi...
