ICO issues guidance on disclosing employee personal data under FOI. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said that public sector bodies must assess whether they could avoid disclosing some information about employees whilst still ensuring that "the legitimate interests" of those requesting the information are observed. "For example, could the legitimate interests be met by other means that interfere less with the employee’s rights and freedoms?

" the ICO said in new guidance. (32-page / 155KB PDF) "Is it necessary to provide all of the information requested? If not, full disclosure is not necessary, and the additional information is thereby exempt. " Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) individuals have a general ‘right to know’, which entitles them to be provided with information held by Government departments and public bodies.

How we found the file that was used to Hack RSA. The current theory is that a nation-state wanted to break into Lockheed-Martin and Northrop-Grumman to steal military secrets. They couldn't do it, since these companies were using RSA SecurID tokens for network authentication. So, the hackers broke into RSA with a targeted e-mail attack. They planted a backdoor and eventually were able to gain access to SecurID information that enabled them to go back to their original targets and successfully break in. In the aftermath of the attack, RSA was forced to replace SecurID tokens for their customers around the world. Already in April, we knew that the attack was launched with a targeted e-mail to EMC employees (EMC owns RSA), and that the e-mail contained an attachment called "2011 Recruitment plan.xls".

This bothered Timo Hirvonen. Timo wrote a data analysis tool that analyzed samples for flash objects. After five months, we finally had the file. And not only that, we had the original e-mail. So, what did the e-mail look like? P.S.
