    The dangers of identity theft are well-publicized. We’ve all been asked to shred our documents, be on the lookout for phishing scams etc. But there is a new potential threat to our identity lurking in warehouses. We’re talking about copy machines.

    “Copy machines today are just like computers,” explained Boston security expert Robert Siciliano. “They have hard drives and can store data that can be extracted.”

    The video says it all.

  • Divine Intervention via fax?

    This snippet appeared in the Mumbai edition of The Times of India dated August 29, 2011. Goes to show how quick and easy it is to access fax and it was God’s way of answering his devotee’s prayer VIA FAX.

    Faith and diamonds

    In just 11 years, Rama Shah, a Jain housewife from Sion, has created more than 1.5 lakh Ganesha idols, several of them with her eyes closed. Shah, a staunch devotee who boasts numerous national and international records for her talent, says her undying faith in Ganesha has helped several. Only recently, said Shah, it came to the rescue of a Gujarati businessman who had 13 packets full of diamonds with him.

    He was on his way from Gujarat to Mumbai and was accosted by cops in Bandra during a nakabandi. They arrested him as he did not have a valid bill for the diamonds. A local diamond trader known to the businessman then phoned Shah, who is also a mohalla committee member, and sought her help, insisting that his acquaintance was innocent.

    She immediately rushed to the police station where the businessman had been detained for more than 24 hours by now. Though they welcomed her, the cop said he would not be able to release the businessman unless relevant documents were produced. She nodded, stepped out and muttered a quick prayer to her favourite elephant-headed God. In what she calls a stroke of divine intervention, she saw a faxing shop. She decided to call up the shop in Gujarat, from where the diamond trader had made the purchases, and asked them to fax their records for the day. On receiving the document, which proved the businessman’s innocence, the cops released him. The man was deeply overwhelmed and wanted to reward the cops. But Shah, who recently made an idol dedicated to Anna Hazare, insisted that it would not be right to give them cash. “Since he wanted to express his gratitude in some way, I asked him to give them a diamond instead,” says Shah.

  • Leaking health information may land you in prison

    Most of us believe that our medical and other health related information is private and is protected. As an individual we supposedly can decide who can look at and receive the information like our insurers, employers or any other government health care agency. In India even though there is no clear rule / law which states what information can be shared in the public domain. The Privacy Bill, 2011 could be the initial step from the government on implementing some privacy act. Here is the news article that appeared in The Deccan Herald.

    Getting this rule implemented calls the hospitals to review the existing security measures followed in safe guarding the patients’ health information. In short your health information shall be protected in a way that does not interfere with your health care. The health information cannot be shared without your written permission unless the law allows it but it is also necessary to keep a complete audit trail who has accessed the same to avoid any misuse.

  • Rincon is now a teenager…..

    “God sent children to enlarge our hearts, and to make us unselfish” was one of the writings that caught my attention during our visit to St. Joseph’s home as part of sharing our joy of completing 13 yrs of a journey called Team Rincon. This could be one of the reasons that Team Rincon again decided to spend sometime with under privileged children who need support and love like we did for our 12th year celebrations last year. This year we decided to sponsored lunch at two places – Shree Barbhaya Orphanage For Hindu Girls at Vile Parle and St. Joseph Society at Mumbay Central. The whole team decided to visit St Joseph’s to spend some time with the children there and plan to visit the Vile Parle orphanage sometime soon. We were all greeted and taken through the place by the two sisters and explained the routines and various activities of the children there. We also had a peek at the children’s creche as the little tots were sleeping. What I felt was that this was not a foster care centre but a true home to the children there. We were really touched by the care taken to all the inmates from the age group of 0 to 90. After spending some time there, we all proceeded to ‘Golden Star” a good and pure vegetarian Gujarati cum Rajasthani thali joint for lunch. As usual we all relished the various delicacies even if sweet and went back home with a mixed feeling of joy, gratitude and peace.

  • Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai hits ‘sweet spot’ of faxing with ZetaFax

    Dr. Balabhai Nanavati Hospital, popularly known as Nanavati Hospital is one of the busiest hospitals in Mumbai with 400 beds and employing 1200 people. The TPA (Third Party Administrator) desk was buzzing with activity with relatives of the patients asking for updates on their cashless insurance process requests. The TPA desk was sending and receiving faxes manually and were fraught with the usual paper jams, mixed pages etc. Dr. Mahesh Shirke took the initiative and evaluated Zetafax and went ahead with the solution. The hospital is now saving a lot of time and resources by shifting to Zetafax. The nagging problem of documents not being received in time by TPA Agents stopped after deployment of Zetafax. The TPA desk staff now is less harried and can better allocate their time to more productive activities.
