British Columbians are worried about cybersecurity but they’re also more likely than other Canadians to share their debit card personal identification numbers with others and take other risks that could leave them open to identity theft and other fraud.
These are among the findings of a survey released today by TD Canada Trust in conjunction with Fraud Prevention Month in Canada.
Visa Canada released its own survey, this one conducted by Ipsos Reid that found young Canadians, those aged 18 to 30 are the most likely to share too much personal information on social networking sites - information such as birthdates, home addresses and phone numbers that provide lucrative pickings for identity thieves, phishing expeditions and other online fraud.
Today’s releases come the week after Norton, the security company, released its top riskiest Canadian cities for cybercrime risk rankings. The polls and rankings all add up to a lot of scary headlines and ones Simon Fraser University communication professor Peter Chow-White suggest may be designed more for advertising and brand awareness than for research.

Embattled Rupert Murdoch’s empire, News Corp. appears to be planning a spin-off of its core businesses.

Its own flagship newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, has reported this week that the company’s board is considering a proposal that will make its publishing arm into a separate company.







Springhill Group Home analysts expect such separation of assets would appease regulators and could help it to avoid selling a USD 6.9 billion stake. Fortunately, the same became true for investors as the announcement was met with the rallying of News Corp’s stock to 8.3% high — the highest level it has reached since 2007.

“News Corp. has one of the best TV businesses, but some people like musty, dusty publishing companies that pay great dividends. It’s a good thing for shareholders.” said an analyst from Lazard Capital.

The media conglomerate has not yet specified which business units would be grouped together but the company is reportedly mulling to separate the entertainment operations from the book and newspaper publishing one.

Embattled Rupert Murdoch’s empire, News Corp. appears to be planning a

spin-off of its core businesses.



Its own flagship newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, has reported this week

that the company’s board is considering a proposal that will make its

publishing arm into a separate company.



Springhill Group Home analysts expect such separation of assets would appease

regulators and could help it to avoid selling a USD 6.9 billion stake.

Fortunately, the same became true for investors as the announcement was met

with the rallying of News Corp’s stock to 8.3% high — the highest level it has

reached since 2007.



“News Corp. has one of the best TV businesses, but some people like musty,

Bradley Associates lance l’augmentation de piratage informatique et de l’usurpation d’identité
Criminels de vol identité viennent dans toutes les tailles et de formes de ces jours. Si vous n’êtes jamais assez malchanceux pour être victime de vol d’identité, le coupable est beaucoup plus susceptible d’être un utilisateur local de méthamphétamine qu’un hacker professionnel. Bradley Associates a dit, la plupart des bandes de crime organisé partout dans le monde sont de plus en plus impliqué dans le piratage informatique.
Le vol d’identité informatique peut se produire dans un certain nombre de façons. Organisations criminelles peuvent utiliser leurs propres pirates, embaucher des étudiants du collège ou tout simplement acheter des grandes quantités d’informations volées de pirates professionnels. Et le résultat est un épi dans le nombre et la taille des violations de données déclarées par les pirates :
• Plus de 50 sur les violations de données rapportées dans la dernière année ont été attribués au piratage informatique.
• Piratage représente pour le plus grand nombre de dossiers personnels compromis au cours des 12 derniers mois, impliquant une estimation américains 43 millions.
• Des marques bien connues qui ont perdu des données par le biais de piratage informatique au cours des 18 mois incluent DSW Shoes, Polo Ralph Lauren et vente en gros de BJ.
Que se passe-t-il à la carte de crédi...

Contagion risk in Europe is back on the agenda, not even a month after a debt swap that saw Greece sheltered from a messy default after a second liquidity-boosting operation from the European Central Bank.
Among the euro zone periphery countries, Spain is creeping up again as the big, sick member of the area and a recent rise in Spanish bond yields is a sign that its illness is unlikely to be cured soon, analysts told CNBC.com on Thursday.
Italian 10-year bond yields rose 7.9 basis points on the day on Thursday, to 5.08 percent but they were overtaken by Spanish 10-year bond yields, which were 5.49 percent, up 7.2 basis points on the day according to Reuters data.
On Friday morning, Spanish 10-year bond yields were hovering around 5.47 percent while Italian bond yields were around 5.07 percent.
“It’s the contagion risk,” Jeffrey Alldis, a trader at ACT Currency Partners in Zurich told CNBC.com.
“It’s possible that other countries like Spain, Italy and Ireland want the same thing” as the deal Greece got to restructure its debt, Alldis added.
“We’re seeing the expectation of volatility increasing which also tells us that uncertainty is rising,” he said.

The euro recently fell for the first time below the minimum limit of SFr1.20 ($1.31 ) set by the Swiss National Bank (SNB) in September 2011.

However, currency experts agree that the temporary slip that occurred during Easter week does not require a change in exchange rate policy.

Thomas Jordan, vice-president and interim president of the SNB, defended his institution at the start of this week and said that doubts about the exchange rate policy were “unfounded”.

Jordan repeated the central bank’s willingness “to buy foreign currency in unlimited amounts” in order to keep the franc within the specified limits. He also confirmed that the Swiss currency “remained overvalued”.

His explanation came after a few financial transactions on April 5 jolted the Easter-time lack of currency movement, causing the euro to trade at SFr1.19. It was the first time the franc had fallen below the minimum limit established by the SNB seven months ago.

According to industry analysts, the volatility was caused partly by economic problems in Spain. Last weekend, Swiss publications such as the “Finanz und Wirtschaft” newspaper criticised the SNB for “going on holiday” when the going got tough.

While some consider the policy of the central bank insufficient, others consider it to be exaggerated.

Although the strong franc has not ruined Switzerland as an industrial centre, the situation is s...

Swiss exports climbed in February, adding to signs the economy is stabilizing.

For“Looking through monthly volatility, the latest new orders and business survey data point to a stabilization in exports in the coming months” said Alexander Koch, an economist at UniCredit Group (UCG) in Munich.

eign sales, adjusted for inflation and seasonal swings, gained 9.2 percent from January, when they fell a revised 10.4 percent, the Federal Customs Office in Bern said in an e-mailed statement today. Imports dropped 12.3 percent from January, when they increased a revised 5.5 percent, and the trade surplus widened to 2.68 billion Swiss francs ($2.94 billion).

Switzerland’s economy is regaining some strength, with an indicator of manufacturing climbing in February and investor confidence increasing for a third month in March. The Swiss central bank last week raised its forecast for economic growth this year to about 1 percent from 0.5 percent.
