comforting to know the names and addies of the government machines that were compromised with his stuff ..who was the sys admin ..are they still in their jobs ..after all his stuff wasnt' exactly "dernier cri"..

if lazy IT cops ( sys ads) were fired when they got their pron bookmarks confused with their cron jobs ..maybe a hackers job would be more of a challenge ..

seems to me we a had a thread about security here a while back and sys ads ..and some folks thought i was being ironic about delivery methods for virii ..and this year we had the 'doze 2000 and 2003 OS's hit by someones portable ( laptop ) being allowed into the building 'cos he was an OK guy ..

and now we'v all got ipods and MP3 etc etc and unprotected WI-FI is rolling out ..
