Apologies to my regular blog readers but I have been battling a nasty cold. So instead of getting up in the morning and writing a blog post I have been sleeping in a bit longer. I probably should have taken a couple of days off when I first got this cold a couple of weeks ago but have been kind of swamped at work and have ignored my own advice. 

Lots going on that I would like to write about though in particular I have been intrigued by the debate around Hilary Clinton using her own email account during her time as Secretary of State as well as the recent decision to retain state workers email for only 90 days in New York. If you want to discuss some of this, I suggest heading over to USV where Privacy & Security are the topic of the week.
