Oops! Fairfax Courtroom Sticky Note Blunder

November 16, 2011

Readers will know that John and I lecture throughout the country on information security and courtroom technology. Last night, we were teaching a CLE in one of our high tech courtrooms. John was assisting in resolving a tech problem and walked up to the bench, where he found – you guessed it – a sticky note on the monitor with the user ID and password.

C'mon guys! There is no rule of infosec so fundamental as not having sticky notes with the keys to the castle on the monitor, under the keyboard, in the drawer, etc.

Maybe we need to have a data security CLE for the judges?
