Saw this on Slashdot, and thought it might be worth some thought... http://www.aldotwaste.com/ The short version is that after being frustrated for a while, the person in question Trojaned his boss's machine, and gathered screenshots over a 7 month period that show 70% of the time, his boss was playing solitaire, and 20% of the time, checking his stocks. The whistle-blower was removed from his position, though he claims policy gave him the right to monitor and document abuses. Some of the knee-jerk reaction from the organization looks to be "there was IDS and it was showing hacking and obviously this got us hacked!" balanced by an independent report that says they were up to their ears in false positives and didn't have AV updates working. Thoughts? Comments? Updates from our favorite copying place? Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
