InfoSec Meetups

There’s been a growing trend of InfoSec meetups from a group called CitySec. Well, someone finally got around to arranging a MinneSec. I’ll be there. There are rules:

No vendor pitches. No compliance check box Olympics. No membership dues. No PHB.

Red Square MPLS: Office Condos now available for Sale!

Geeks,
My firm (LOCUS Architecture) is currently developing Red Square, a commercial building on Central Ave in the Northeast Arts District – you may have heard the radio spots for it on MPR’s The Current. It will offer 40k+  square feet of environmentally conscious commercial and retail space on 4 floors. You can find more info on Redsquare’s website. The plans for the building have been extremely well received in the planning phase and we are now looking to fill it with tenants. Feel free to pass on the link if you know of people who may be looking to own commercial space.

Online Credit Card Fraud

I was going to mention this yesterday but I didn’t get to it. I had to recently get my credit card renewed due to fraudulent activity by two online outfits: CCBILLEU and EUROCG.com. Both for smaller amounts and supposedly for subscription services. As I was talking to Visa, they realized that those are fraudulent operations and that my credit card had been compromised. So, while I am waiting for a new card, I just wanted to alert all of you to the fact. It pays to check those statements every once in a while. Unfortunately, I have no further information on how this happend and how many people are affected by it. Just be on the lookout.
