My friend is a lawyer and while we debate the merits of the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/musings\/tech-musings-apple-cisco-blackberry.html\"><font color=\"#800080\">Cisco vs. Apple iPhone case<\/font><\/a> I am also helping fix their new Dell laptop which seems to have frequent memory dumps. I am installing antispyware tools and for some reason Microsoft Defender won&#8217;t download at all. Anyway, as I was explaining to my friend about spyware, adware, malware, trojan horses, zombies, denial of service attacks, etc. I began to realize how crazy the world of computing is today. And if all that isn&#8217;t bad enough there is <a href=\"http:\/\/voip-blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/voip\/spear-phishing.html\"><font color=\"#800080\">spear phishing<\/font><\/a> to worry about as well.<\/div>\n<div style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">All of this is especially as a lawyer referred to me as a layman this week and a fellow team member at TMC thought this was quite a condescending comment that many in the legal profession make. He will be happy to see that even lawyers can learn from us laymen at times. \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n<div style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">But I am not writing to bash lawyers &#8212; after all we haven&rsquo;t had dessert yet. I wouldn&rsquo;t want to get asked to leave before I am finished eating. \ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n<div style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">But back to security, I though it might make sense to let everyone know about an upcoming webinar <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmcnet.com\/\"><font color=\"#800080\">TMC<\/font><\/a> will be hosting called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmcnet.com\/webinar\/naturalconvergence\">Network Security for Hosted Small Business Solutions<\/a> &#8211; Are you ready?<\/div>\n<div style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">In addition with all the talk on my blog lately about <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.tmcnet.com\/blog\/rich-tehrani\/voip\/voip-changes-the-lives-of-disabled-veterans.html\"><font color=\"#800080\">disabled veterans becoming call center agents<\/font><\/a> because of VoIP I thought it would be a good time to introduce a webinar on <a href=\"http:\/\/w.on24.com\/r.htm?e=35581&amp;s=1&amp;k=5EB9F0F2BC1C01BAF4B26BD94BF125C9\">home based agents<\/a> which takes place next month.<\/div>\n<div style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\">The internet and IP communications have seriously revolutionized the business of hiring contact center agents today.
