Then Embargo Watch notes that the public relations firm for the EASL is Cohn & Wolfe, which also represents various drugmakers, such as Allergan, Genzyme, Sanofi-Aventis, Boehringer-Ingelheim and Merck (see this).

In each case the users started figuratively shouting, “My EMR is DOWN!!!” 1. One of my clients, a pediatric group, went down yesterday. Their firewall box choked which resulted in their internal network being useless. Each computer was alive and well, they just couldn’t talk to the server. They couldn’t print. They couldn’t get to the Internet. They were dead in the water all day. This is a group that didn’t grow up in the old days where day-to-day unreliability was the norm. They had no printouts from which to work. Being a firewall which was 5+ years old, the hardware tech was really scrambling to find a replacement. 2. Another client, has been using wireless laptops to talk...

She started by researching RFID security which she found to be deficient in the number of published papers. She went on to develop an RFID virus as a proof of concept. Her project Web site gives a full description and videos of this device in operation Technorati Tags: RFID, firewall, mobile security (Source: Wireless Doc) Wireless Doc blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=587943 Wed, 02 May 2007 15:15:44 +0100 587943
