The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2001 – 2013)

This is a continuing short run series of blogs summarizing old drafts and either declaring them dead, while listing them here, or keeping them as they are still relevant.

Part 1 – The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2010 – 2013)
Part 2 – The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2014 – 2015)
Part 3 – The Jericho Blog Graveyard (2016 – 2020)

So this blog, part four, is amusing as I found a blog October 23, 2020 that I had titled “Blog Graveyard” with the same thing as before. Old ideas I decided to skip blogging about, so this one almost wrote itself! I only had dates for two. With just a bit of cleanup and here we go:

  • Apr 18, 2013: Pre-history of Dataloss: pre history of dataloss or “why we’re losing the battle”
  • in 2001, idea of dataloss as errata project that was after half a dozen incidents. 11 years later, we know of how many incidents in 2001?
  • Early in hacking, when webcarts were just being born, how many compromises lost CCs? even ones not easiliy popped remotely stored CC cleartext locally (cite examples). how many sniffers running over the years.
  • google hackers keeping a steady eye on inadvertant spreadsheets leaking. how many stores were still throwing away records w/o shredding (hackers knew about these stores for years)
  • companies throwing out complete offices of info w/o shredding (random, but hackers stumbled upon)
  • when did DLP come around? how bad was it to start? how is it lacking today?
    just like most other security tech. gives warm fuzzies, not actual protection.
