Well , I can't really point you to such stories , but , I do ,however , have an advise for you based on personal experiance. make sure the proper people know about the risks (remote account hacking, locking , being as secure as the remote mail server which is usually a bigger target for hackers) - make sure you send a written memo or e-mail about it to the proper people (not only your manager) , people tend to think twice when it's their neck.

Does anybody know a good internet source of actual security related real life cases? I know that it's a risk to forward corporate mail to internet e-mail account like AOL or gmx. But I need a case like "in january 2001 the aol accounts of xyz got cracked and a lot of confidential data was published by some hackers on the internet" to convince a manager who thinks the risk is just theoretical and nothing ever happened. I would like to have such stories for different threats (no remote access via modem, no weak passwords, no unenecrypted data on laptops,...). In my opinion the stories in the book "Tangled Web" are just a starting point (some of them are not easy enough for managers). -- <- ullmic6 ->__________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
