World Bank To Make "comprehensive external review" [ft.com] Of Online Security
The World Bank has commissioned an external review of its informational technology networks following a series of cyber attacks on the international institution’s computer systems.

In recent days, the World Bank has fallen victim to cyber attacks that come on the heels of a series of hacking attacks over the summer. The bank announced internally that it was launching a “comprehensive external review” to examine its systems and cyber security practices.

Worrying, but necessary. Corporate IT security is, to my mind, littered with disasters. Whether an external review is going to sufficiently improve processes in this case is not a given, though.

You know, it's almost like the internet isn't any fun any more. You need to know what you're doing, or bad things happen ;)
