<description><![CDATA[HTC is looking to expand its R&amp;D efforts on wireless research through a new office opening in North Carolina next year.(Credit:HTC)The smartphone maker said today it plans to lease a new R&amp;D office in Durham, N.C., during the first quarter of 2011.The site will kick off with a staff of around 45 people who'll conduct research into multiple areas of wireless technology, according to HTC, which plans to expand the facility further during the new year and beyond.The Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina is known for its Research Triangle Park, home to a large number of technology companies.&quot;HTC has been successful bringing its unique brand of people-centric innovation to consumers, and with the establishment of this new R&amp;D office, we are taking an important step to extend our leadership position in the wireless industry,&quot; Ron Louks, HTC's chief strategy officer, said in a statement. &quot;Durham is a perfect place to open our new R&amp;D office because we are able to tap into this deep pool of technical talent that complements HTC's leading-edge R&amp;D efforts going on around the world.&quot;The new Durham office will become HTC's third dedicated R&amp;D location in the U.S., joining sites in Seattle and another in San Francisco that houses the company's One &amp; Co subsidiary. HTC currently employs around 250 people in the U.S. and more than 10,000 around the world.Although it's faced a highly competitive market that includes the likes of Motorola, Samsung, LG, and Sony Ericsson, HTC has done well lately with its Android smartphone lineup, reporting a strong jump in earnings and sales for its most recent quarter. The company has also dived into theWindows Phone 7 arena with the launch of the HTC Surround for AT&amp;T and the HTC HD7 for T-Mobile.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The servers of RSA, the security division of information storage giant EMC, have been breached and sensitive information from more than 40 million employees may have been compromised.The information at risk is the two-factor authentication tokens used by employees to access corporate and government networks.The RSA authentication security system uses these tokens to create a time sensitive number for an employee to enter along with his or her password.This additional security measure is important because it prevents attempts from hackers who may have uncovered an employeea4a4s password. If the hackers were able to access information from a particular company, they might be able to generate the password for one of its tokens.Says RSA Executive Chairman Art Coviello, &amp;''While at this time we are confident that the information extracted does not enable a successful direct attack on any of our RSA SecurID customers, this information could potentially be used to reduce the effectiveness of a current two-factor authentication implementation as part of a broader attack.a4RSAa4a4s system is currently used by approximately 25,000 organizations, including banks and the US military.RSA contacted customers asking them to follow a number of cautionary practices. The company says it is examining the breach and is working with the authorities' there is no doubt more information will be announced shortly.Previous Story: Nokia CEO: Microsoft won&amp;'t buy usPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: securityCompanies: RSAPeople: Art Coviello          Tags: securityCompanies: RSAPeople: Art CovielloConrad Egusa is a contributing writer at VentureBeat.
