#Justice Dep’t Official Warns Russia of ‘Consequences’ for #Cyber-Spying !

A senior Justice Department official issued a thinly-veiled warning to Russia that significant acts of cyber espionage will not be ignored. That would include the Democratic National Committee hack, which would be considered an act of political cyber espionage of the sort the United States traditionally has not publicly attributed to a culpable foreign spy agency.

2014: Wearable Computers, Risk Management, Asia EDD, XP Danger

The legal tech community predicts key issues of the coming year.

Monica Bay , Law Technology News

Law Technology News sends warm wishes to you and yours for a wonderful, safe, inspiring new year! Of course we could not resist the obvious—a chance to hear from our readers about their predictions for the shiny fresh year ahead. For the next few days we'll bring you the soothsaying of our legal technology community. This is the fourth in the series, see No. 1 here, No. 2 here and No. 3 here. Items may be slightly edited for length and clarity.

>> Halt Couture: What will be big (other than everything related to privacy and protecting all sorts of confidentiality from snooping eyes and ears, public or private—and the continued drive, unwarranted at times in my view, for technology-assisted review), will be the need for the legal community to deal with the proliferation and exponentially expanded use of wearable technology by attorneys and clients. Let's face it, perceived fad or not, enough people will embrace this stuff to require the development of policies within firms, and between firms, clients and service providers, to address confidentiality and to expand the definition of "competence," whatever that means in this era.

Related to this will be the explosion of apps which will also require policies, etc. One scary thing in all of this will be the need to monitor what we do (probably extensive and intrusive monitoring, too) to ensure that we don't allow others to monitor what we do! — Ronald Hedges, consultant (and retired U.S. District Court magistrate judge), Hackensack, N.J.

REAL ISLAM !!!

And slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers. (Quran 2:191-193)

Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that Allah has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for Allah’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. (Quran 4:34)

They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper. (Quran 4:89)

This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall alternately be struck off; or they shall be banished from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement. (Quran 5:33)

When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, ˜I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the unbelievers’ hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them! (Quran 8:12)

Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatsoever you expend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged. (Quran 8:60)

Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. (Quran 9:5)

Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden — such men as practise not the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book — until they pay the tribute out of hand and have been humbled. (Quran 9:29)

Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph. (Quran 9:111)

O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing. (Quran 9:123)

When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray. (Quran 47:4)
