Allen B. Roberts, EpsteinBeckerGreen;  With its enactment of financial reform legislation, Congress has elevated and expanded whistleblowing, giving it a more critical and mainstream function in the regulatory and enforcement scheme. The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act1 (Dodd-Frank) breaks from some conventional patterns in granting potential bounty awards and creating employment protection against retaliation for those who “blow the whistle” in matters involving securities, commodities and futures, and consumer financial products. By mandating
whistleblowing for rating organizations, Dodd-Frank also expands a relatively limited
notion that whistleblowing is an obligation, and not merely an option. Accompanying
these entirely new extensions of coverage are some significant changes enabling
whistleblowers to fare better under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Sarbanes-Oxley) and
the False Claims Act (FCA). But even where common concepts, definitions, and
procedures would seem to deserve identical treatment, Dodd-Frank lacks drafting
uniformity – potentially affecting outcomes and assuredly inviting attention to detail.

An Internet site who manages passwords recently posted an article pertaining to the lack of secure passwords being utilized which may be a factor in data breaches — past, present, and future. One reason for the lack of security is the amount of passwords a user is required to remember to access the many databases, applications, multiple networks, etc., used on a daily basis. Sharing passwords among users in a workplace is becoming a common theme to continue the flow of operations. Users have prioritized convenience over security when establishing passwords. The article provided a list of millions of stolen passwords posted on-line by hackers and ranked the top 25 common passwords.

Unbelievable ? Obviously not!
Wall Street Journal | Dec 28, 2011
It wasn’t your ordinary stocking stuffer. The week before Christmas, two plaintiffs law firms got word that together they were awarded $300 million in fees for their work challenging a takeover deal. The size of the fee, unusually high for shareholder cases, has bankers and lawyers buzzing about whether the Delaware Court of Chancery has become too generous to plaintiffs’ counsel, or is rightly rewarding them for their efforts.
