What is GDPR and What Does it Mean for Your Company?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in the European Union (EU) law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the EU. It is meant to standardize data protection practices across all of Europe. If you have a company here in the United States, but you do business with citizens of the EU via your website, you too must comply with these new regulations that go into effect on May 25, 2018.

Adobe Releases a Second Round of High Priority Patches
A week after releasing a number of updates, Adobe has released even more patches for 24 critical vulnerabilities which are both serious and widespread. These patches impact versions of Adobe's Acrobat DC, Acrobat Reader DC, and Photoshop CC (all on both Windows and MacOS). The most serious of these vulnerabilities can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a victim's system, according to Allan Liska, a threat intelligence analyst. The flaw lets hackers embed malicious JavaScript into a PDF file that manipulates memory on the victim's computer to execute a code.
