Scammers are taking advantage of the data breach that compromised Target customers' credit and debit card information. Watch for con artists using this highly public event to fool consumers into sharing their credit card and/or personal information.
How the Scam Works:
You receive a text message, which claims to be from your credit card company. It says your card has been blocked in response to fraudulent activity following the recent data breach. The message asks you to call a phone number to verify your account information. Of course, the text message is just a con to get you to share your card number and other info.
As usual, this scam has many forms. Scammers have been contacting people through email, text messages and phone calls. In another version, scammers call and claim to represent Target. They ask consumers to "verify" their name, address, social security and other information to supposedly check whether it was comprised in the breach. Whatever the guise, the scammers are always after your credit card number or other personal information.

Five Business Intelligence Predictions For 2014
Check out this article:
The dust is finally beginning to clear from the big data explosion, which is a good thing. One of the problems with big data is that it’s been led by technology, not business requirements. And business requirements will be the focus in the 2014 business intelligence (BI) ecosphere—to enable enterprises to achieve results with data mining and analytics and to prove those results. All the BI vendors will sit in the hot seat, forced to explain what they actually do to solve customer problems, which is healthy.
2014 Trends in Business Technology
At the beginning of every year, business owners should check new trends that can help grow their business. An excellent example is technology trends. Business owners can look at indicators like economic growth, key personnel movement and innovations. 2013 was a year of changes with business intelligence, and we are expecting that 2014 won't be much different. Check TVG Consulting, an IT consulting firm in Los Angeles's, blog post to read predictions of the 2014 business technology trends:

Estonia is an unlikely land of cutting-edge technology
Read this article we found:
TALLINN, Estonia — A land teeming with forests and lakes and technology start-ups.
"If you don't have your own app, you are not popular in Estonia," says Jane Muts, the manager of Garage48, an all-purpose hub that provides facilities and networking opportunities for entrepreneurs in the capital, Tallinn.
Estonia is about the same size as the Dominican Republic, and it has a mere 1.3 million people, yet a combination of factors including a dynamic approach to e-governance, an aggressive push for technology to be taught in the classroom from a young age and a serendipitous infrastructure legacy following independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991 have helped push this 50%-forested nation on the north eastern fringe of Europe into the start-up big leagues.
According to a recent check of AngelList, a website that aims to connect investors with entrepreneurs, there are 123 active start-ups in Estonia. This compares to about 835 in Germany and 2,642 in the United Kingdom, both nations with far higher populations. While that may not sound like a huge number, in fact on at least one measure — start-ups per capita — Estonia has about the same number of companies in the works as the United States, seen as the gold-standard country for entrepreneurs to grow businesses and achieve success.
The nation's technology sector is a little engine that's huffed and puffed and realized it can.
"After independence, there was this clean slate in Estonia, and the authorities focused very quickly on Internet technology and then the country had a big success story with Skype, which also quickly became an example for people," says Mike Reiner, the founder of Start-Up WiseGuys, a business-accelerator program for young Estonian companies.
If Skype — bought by Microsoft in 2011 — is Estonia's poster child for start-up tech success, TransferWise, Fortumo, GrabCAd, Weekdone and dozens of others are just some of the child-wonder's progeny.
"This entire country has felt held back in some way," says Chris Brown, also from Start-Up WiseGuys. "It felt that (during Soviet times) it was artificially restrained. The start-up world has been Estonia's shortcut to finally be reintegrated where it envisions itself. It doesn't have enormous natural resources. It couldn't just Norway its way into success by striking oil," he says.
