Verbatim Celebrates 40 Years of Data Storage Innovation


Verbatim 40 Years logo

This year, Verbatim (Latin for "literally") celebrates 40 years of enhancing the digital lifestyle of consumers, businesses and professionals with data storage innovation.

Since its founding in 1969, the company has been at the forefront in the development of data storage technology – from floppy disks and magneto-optical storage media to the CD and DVD formats and the latest high-definition Blu-ray Disc (BD) media.

In the early years, the company joined industry leaders such as IBM in rolling out the 8-inch floppy diskette, Shugart in announcing the 5.25-inch floppy diskette and Sony in introducing the 3.5" micro diskette (1MB). Focused on increasing its share of the rapidly growing floppy disk market, Verbatim continued to pioneer advancements such as the launch of its high-density 1.6MB mini diskette, its 2MB micro diskette and the DatalifePlus® (Teflon-protected) diskette and soon became the world's largest producer of floppy disks.

D-Link to Add CAPTCHA to its Home Routers

May 12, 2009 - A series of recent Internet security attacks on home and small office computers are compromising networks where users least expect it - their routers. These malicious software invasions, in which users unknowingly download a Trojan horse when performing common tasks, invade the router to detect wireless capabilities, then alter the victim's domain name system (DNS) records so that all future traffic is diverted through the, attackers' network first.

In response to the growing number of these attacks and subsequent user security concerns, D-Link has integrated CAPTCHA - a system, designed to detect whether responses are human or computer-generated - into its popular home and small office routers as an extra safety measure. CAPTCHAs are used to prevent malicious software from performing actions that degrade the quality of service on a network, such as those found in worms, viruses and Trojan horses.Read more
