Three Security Stories
October 8th, 2009 by ComputerBob
Today, I happened to find three separate stories about computer security that indicate the current situation in Cyberland.
Good news: “US and Egyptian authorities have charged 100 people in what the director of the FBI has called ‘the largest international phishing case ever conducted’.”
Lesson Learned #1: If you’re running a prison, and one of your prisoners is a cybercriminal who is serving time for stealing about 10.5 million dollars from his victims, you probably shouldn’t put him in charge of programming the prison’s computer system.
Lesson Learned #2: “The head of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has stopped banking online after nearly falling for a phishing attempt.”
