Laptop With Names
and SSN Shows Up
In Local Computer
Repair Business

Laptop With 6000 Sutter-Health Names and SSN Shows Up At A Local Computer Service Business
Sacramento CA. - Several thousand of Sutter Health current and former employees will be getting a letter soon
stating that their private ID information has been compromised. Officials from the company's Sierra region were
contacted by a local computer repair business stating that they had a computer with private information on its hard
drive unencrypted. "The repair people did the right thing and told us they had our laptop" said Sutter
Communications Coordinator Kami Lloyd.
Sutter Health sent out a letter to individuals that stated an employee had possession of a company laptop since 2007
but late last month it showed up at a computer repair business. The technicians returned the hard drive to Sutter
when they realized where it came from.
The letter also pointed out that the data was accessed by the repair business although the repair business wrote a
certified letter stating that it did not retain any information on the hard drive. Sutter did advise employees to
contact their credit reporting agencies and put a fraud alerts on their credit files. Kroll Inc TheftSmart services
were offered to all involved at no cost for one year.
Now that who ever else read the data knows that there is a one year moratorium on the information it goes into the hackers
holding bin. What happens after that ? Yes, the victim is responsible for all damages or gets a lawyer who will
probably get paid regardless of who wins the law suit. The story was coverd by
News!0 ABC.
At least Sutter has learned from its error and is making provisions to encrypt all data and set a security policy to
save all data to a network drive.
4thDTTM Security's roadmap includes cell and PDA security to
eliminate these vulnerabilities directly and permanently and eliminate the Man-In-The-Middle.

Cornell Computer
Compromises
45000+ Peoples ID

Cornell University Security Breach Compromises Over 45,000 Students and Staff
Another stolen computer breach, this time from Cornell University that contained the Social
Security, names and other information was stolen from and unsecured location. The computer was
issued to a member of the Cornell technical staff and used to correct transmission errors found
in the processing of files. The computer should have been in a secured area and the staff member
violated Cornell's security policy stated by University officials. The story was covered by the
Associated Press and WVBR Radio FM website.
The people effected were 22,546 current and former students along with 22,731 current and
former faculty totaling 45,277 in the Cornell community. The difficulty is that once your ID
is stolen it is never truly recovered, the breach is only the beginning. The information is
always out there in some hackers dark box of tricks. As with many breaches we see the ID theft
happen any time from immediate to several months to years after depending on how much the criminals plan to take.
4thDTTM Security's roadmap includes cell and PDA security to
eliminate these vulnerabilities directly and permanently and eliminate the Man-In-The-Middle.

F'TAP-2525 Prototype
- Due to the economic times we are forced to delay the pre-production beta release for an additional
twelve months. We are still looking for beta testers. We are actively seeking investors and or
partners to help launch this new technology into full production.
We are also looking for manufacturers that are seeking new technology security solutions that will be able
to fund our preproduction run and be the first to evaluate this technology for their products.
Purchasing incentives are negotiable
If you are interested in being a part of this please
contact us and we will setup an appointment.

Research into the current cyber security environment reveals an industry wrought with confusion.
Patches are released to fix patches that ultimately fail to protect systems. The primary reason the current
patch-on-patch approach does not work is hackers stay one step ahead of the developers. They find a way through
the new patch, often as the patch is released, and sometimes before it is released, to the public.
-
It is not an anomaly that hackers target software, it's easy. Why only the software? Unlike
software, hardware is impossible to emulate. It is no mistake that throughout history the greatest encryption
devices were hardware based.
-
With the advances in parallel computing, faster chipset's and computing architecture, and more
powerful development systems, brute force attacks allow hackers to break data protected by today's security
solutions much faster - often in minutes. Most security applications today are founded on the principal of layers of
fixed digital algorithms that are not only vulnerable, but they slow down the throughput timing from point-to-point.
Basically, security today adds more layers and sub-nets that contributes more to the problem of security than to
the solution.
-
Security and Privacy go hand in hand, however, keep in mind that taking away rights and privacy does
not make us safe. Criminal behavior, terrorism and social misconduct are active in all forms of social structures
be it a free republic as the USA, socialism as in Europe, communism as China, totalitarianism as many other minority
ruled countries. Giving up our privacy rights in any social structure does not make us safe, in fact, it makes us
more vulnerable to criminal behaviors than ever before by incorporating back doors for those and others monitoring
all parts of our privacy. 4thDT™ Security closes all back doors to
unauthorized access!
-
Security is not a product, it is a process which includes social behavior and uses technology products
to practice the policies set forth. Many CSO's and risk management analysts look at security as a
feature that is included when they outsource their IT requirements. Would you outsource your families
dynamic core stability to a an outsider whose behavior you have little or no
influence on? Many outsource security type firms have many fine print clauses in the
contract that will exonerate them from any consequences or accountability.
-
"The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that
created them." (Albert Einstein). Today we are experiencing this not only in the
security industry but also in the automotive, banking and other industries.
4thDT™ Security is a new company to the security industry and incorporated a different
level of thinking to solving some of the root causes of Internet security. The
4thDT™ Security approach represents a paradigm shift in the way Internet security
is implemented today.

The 4thDT™ Security solution eliminates an entire breed of hackers
- all of those who focus on cracking all types of encryption keys
