Businesses ignoring telecom security threat

Many businesses are not paying enough attention to telecom-related security issues, according to research.Most believe they will not be hit by the type of fraud and instead concentrate on other areas like data security, the study by RedShift Research for Damovo found.The survey of 250 businesses found that 40 per cent had experienced telecom fraud.In businesses with 400 to 600 staff the figure grew to 53 per cent, and the increased roll-out of VoIP among companies is likely to make it go higher still.'About ten years ago, companies would have had a voice manager and an IT manager, now voice comes in as a function of IT,' said Damovo UK's Chris Richardson according to Maxwell Cooter of Techworld.'What happens is that the IT manager often doesn't fully understand the workings of the phone system so it gets ignored.'We found that 16 per cent of businesses with more than 1,000 users had been hit for losses of more than £50,000.'External attacks using phone networks can either be direct inward system access attacks or voice mail fraud.Damovo are to release a device to monitor in-bound and out-bound telecom traffic. more

Henderson burglaries up, police give safety tips

Police say in July alone nine businesses and 12 homes have been burglarized. Authorities have seen similar numbers the previous months. That's why police are sharing important tips with businesses.

The number one problem police see is doors and windows not being locked. Officers recommend outdoor lighting and an alarm system. Basically, anything to make it more difficult for a burglar who is looking to hide while committing the crime.

In turn, reducing the negative effect on the entire city.

"Because businesses can't take those losses, they have to pass it onto the consumer," Piller said.

Henderson police will have another forum next month on another issue on crime prevention.

Starting Wednesday, crime tip boxes will be placed throughout the city so the public has another way to share information with police. more

Down Economy Helping Some Businesses

But others, like pawn shops and second hand stores, are reaping the benefits. Their selection is the best it's ever been and customers are making some major purchases.

At 4-J's second hand store owner, Dallas Sieler, can barely catch his breath.

"We get 20 phone calls a day of people trying to sell merchandise because they are down sizing or they can't afford new or they're just trying to get rid of stuff," said Sieler.

Because of that, 4'J's selection is better than ever.

Sieler's even had to turn away some sellers because of the great offers he's already received.

"We've got collectibles, a few antiques, beds dressers, washers, driers, refrigerators, freezers, fine jewelry, movies, VHS, DVD," said Sieler.

Even though some families are strapped for cash, that hasn't stopped them from shopping at 4-J's. more
