Wasting no time after regulators took months to approve its acquisition, Novell said Wednesday that it now belongs to Attachmate for the princely sum of $2.2 billion cash, a lot of it its own recycled money.
It’s currently operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Attachmate Group, parent company of Attachmate Corporation.
The patent sale that held up what should have been a mere perfunctory review also closed.
Some 880-odd patents and patent applications have gone to the so-called CPTN consortium of Microsoft, Oracle, Apple and EMC, which paid $450 million for them, topping off the $6.10-a-share acquisition price.

Just kidding…partially. Have you seen the latest 2011 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report? It is chock full of data about breaches, vulnerabilities, industry demographics, threats and all the other internet security terms that make the headlines. It is an interesting view into cybercrime and like last year, there is also information and analysis from the US Secret Service, who arrested more than 1200 cybercrime suspects in 2010. One very interesting note from the Executive Summary is that while the total number of records compromised has steadily gone down – ‘08: 361 million, ‘09: 144 million, ‘10: 4 million – the case loads for cybercrime is at an all time high – 141 breaches in 2009 to a whopping 760 in 2010. One reason may be is that the criminals themselves are doing the time-honored ‘risk vs. reward’ scenario when determining their bounty. Hey, just like the security pros! Oh yeah….the crooks are pros too. Rather than going after the huge financial institutions in one fell swoop or mega-breach, they are attempting many more low risk type intrusions against restaurants, hotels and smaller retailers. Hospitality is back on the top of the list this year, followed by retail. Financial services round out pole position, but as noted, the criminals will always have their eye on our money. Riff-raff also focused more on grabbing intellectual property rather than credit card numbers.

Glyn Moody writes “The Presidency of the EU’s Law Enforcement Working Party wants to create [pdf] “a single secure European cyberspace with a certain “virtual Schengen border” and “virtual access points” whereby the Internet Service Providers (ISP) would block illicit contents on the basis of the EU “black-list”.” Leaving aside the fact that this won’t work for lots of reasons, how seriously can you take anyone talking about “cyberspace” in 2011?”
