Data Privacy Day (every January 28th)
January 28th is Data Privacy Day. The following was copied from the "Data Privacy Day" Wikipedia entry on 28 January 2012. 
   "The 'Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard 
    to Automatic Processing of Personal Data' was opened for signature 
    by the Council of Europe on January 28, 1981."

The Wikipedia indicates that the U.S. started recognizing Data Privacy Day on 28 January 2008.

About the Security Watchdog
The Security Watchdog started 2012 with 526 postings. This blog was started during March of 2000 and the current world of computer security is worse now than it was then. Needless to say, there will always be content for the Security Watchdog for at least the next couple of years.
