NEW YORK, April 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of International Business Machines Corporation IBM between April 4, 2017 and October 20, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important June 6, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased IBM securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the IBM class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=5104 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] or [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 6, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Skilled hackers with good intentions

/in


In the 1983 movie “WarGames,” a young American hacker nearly ends the Cold War by ending the world. That plot resulted in a hit movie that filled the seats, back when people exclusively went to theaters for such excitement.

Kris Johnson, director of the Defense Department’s Vulnerability Disclosure Program (VDP) in the DoD Cyber Crime Center, likes a different kind of hacker-centric plot, although it won’t sell many tickets.

“I totally went and I found vulnerabilities and we secured the system and nothing happened. I don’t know if they’re going to get a Michael Bay explosion movie out of it,” said Johnson on Federal Monthly Insights – Hacker-Powered Security.

Over the years, the DoD has been at the vanguard of ethical hacking and bug bounty programs, where the good guys find cybersecurity flaws in their systems and let them know. Those keyboard cowboys have many monikers: ethical hackers, white-hat hackers or security researchers.

“I think that there’s a lot of movement, certainly in what OMB refers to as coordinated vulnerability disclosure, that’s the overall umbrella that covers both your bug bounties and your vulnerability disclosure programs or VDPs,” said Johnson on Federal Drive with Tom Temin. “The big difference is that the bug bounties, pay money, while the VDPs pay reputation points.”

Those participating in the VDPs are trying to build “street cred,” Johnson said. The white-hat hackers can build their resumes to impress those who will perhaps, someday, pay them money for their skills.

“Until recently, the policy for VDP, which is how we provide legal safe harbor for the security researchers or ethical hackers, that policy has always been public-facing DoD websites,” Johnson said. “It’s a partnership and we provide that legal safe harbor against the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, so that they can operate with the understanding that no one’s going to come kick down their door and come after them for either civil or criminal litigation.”

The rules of engagement for the hacker are fairly simple, Johnson said. And in the last five years, there has not…

Shortage Of Workers Skilled At Stopping Ransomware Attacks Makes Companies Vulnerable To Hacks – CBS Dallas / Fort Worth

/in


FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – The recent ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline has put a spotlight on the growing need for cyber security professionals.

Experts say unfilled positions could make companies more vulnerable to hacks.

“It’s unfortunate,” said Richard Sellers, the chair of the Information Technology Department at the TCC Northwest Campus. “We’ve had these same types of attacks that happened with the pipeline company, happen here in Texas.”

Companies big and small need people who can help them keep their data safe.

“The growth of the cyber security industry is expected to be 31% through 2029,” said David Cathey, a hiring expert with Unity Search. “That is seven times faster than the average national job growth. It is a ridiculous growth.”

According to Cyber Seek, there are more than 42,000 open cyber security positions in Texas and nearly 500,000 nationally.

The problem is a shortage of skilled professionals to take those jobs.

“There is such a need for these people, that anyone who has some training, they could get employed and be able to help in some ways,” Sellers said.

TCC created a cyber security program two years ago, and they say enrollment is up.

They’re teaching people how to help businesses face the ever-growing threat of cyber attacks.

“These jobs are not going away,” he said. “These companies are all going to need people that are protecting them.”
