If it appears that we read way too many reports that companies have been hacked, well, there is a recent survey that shows that 90% of companies in the United States have admitted to have their systems hacked before, at least once in the past twelve months.

The total number of respondents to this survey was 583. My, that is a high number of companies! Out of the 90%, nearly 60% of them said that their system was breached twice in the past year! More importantly, more than 50% of these respondents have little confidence that they are able to stave off security attacks on their system in the coming 12 months.

HHmmm with the many hacks going on in recent months, where major websites have been floored, it’s no longer safe to store anything online, whether important data on a cloud or personal information on a financial website.

The Winklevoss twins, Cameron and Tyler, have decided top drop the court case against Facebook, which they had wanted to take to Supreme Court, claiming that they have been short-changed in an earlier settlement, which they alleged Facebook left out important financial data that undervalued the true value of the social network.

This court case by the good looking Winklevoss twins, who are also former Olympic rowers, had spurned the movie, The Social Network. Cameron and Tyler, along with another partner, Divya Narendra, had claimed that Facebook “founder” Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea in creating the social network website.

While Divya Narendra was “satisfied” with the payment of US$20 million cash and US$45 million in stocks, the twins were not. Well, now they are.
