WikitipTesco.com poor security practicesTesco.com, one of the largest retail websites in the UK, is being investigated by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), due to its bad security habits. Investigations have found that Tesco.com is using unsafe security practices, for instance, login and password information is stored ‘unhashed’,’unsalted’, and most likely unencrypted. After shoppers log in on the site, it allows them to shop with no encryption, therefore allowing traffic and identifications to be mixed in session cookies, allowing the session to be hijacked. Other factors of the website suggest they need updated file encryption software, as theirs is dated and not up to the current standards of the ICO. It is important to make sure your security software is up to date as it can cause serious issues if someone was to hack into the sites protected information. Tesco is apparently working on its website to update the software, so hopefully it will get it sorted soon and protect its online users. |
Featured Case StudyFinancial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. |

Featured How-To Note |
Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012. |
