Today's Story Highlights

The Crypto-Criminal Bar Brawl
As if e-commerce companies didn't have enough problems with transacting
securely and defending against things like fraud, another avalanche of
security problems -- like cryptojacking, the act of illegally mining
cryptocurrency on your end servers -- has begun. We've also seen a rise
in digital credit card skimming attacks against popular e-commerce
software such as Magento.

Silo Buster: Salesforce Attacks the Data Sprawl Problem
I have never been a big fan of the term "360-degree view of the
customer," mostly because you never can have a complete view of your
customers. It's simply impossible. Things happen that you don't capture
in the data, as CRM guru Paul Greenberg has pointed out. They get
divorced, their dog dies, they get a really nice birthday gift. Those
things can affect customers' buying behavior.

Why Is Wireless Caller ID So Often Wrong?
I have a gripe with the way Caller ID works -- or in fact, increasingly
doesn't work -- on wireless phones. I've noticed that most very stinking
time I get a call on my wireless phone, the Caller ID information is
wrong. Sometimes the number is correct, but the city is wrong. When
Caller ID was introduced a few decades ago, it was great. It started on
the landline phone, either providing a name or number.

Oracle's Earnings Angst
OK, this is looking somewhat predictable. Oracle reported $9.20 billion
in Q1 revenue, or $0.03 per share, against consensus estimates in the
$9.24 to $9.29 range. In other words, it missed its number. How
concerning is this? Excuse me while I yawn. It's important all right,
but no reason to get crazy. Still, some representatives of the widows
and orphans who own the stock went into a tizzy.

Poor Website Designs Could Trigger Legal Actions
Internet marketing has become so popular that e-commerce retail sales in
the United States are on pace to double between 2009 and 2018. The
transaction value of e-commerce service industry contracts reached $600
billion in 2016. Despite the rush to digital commerce, the rules for
business transactions are still the same, whether they are concluded on
paper or electronically.
