Most of us get stuck with having to provide ISP service to any Joe Sixpack who pays the bill, or student who gets past the Admissions office, or idiot employee who makes it past HR. And there isn't much we can do about it.get a Corp job!
Tell it to Randall Schwartz, who ended up with a felony conviction for hacking mostly because when he ran Crack, it turned out that one of Intel's vice presidents used 'viceprez' as his password. Said VP got his nose out of joint and demanded blood... Seriously - if you find a corporate job where you can actually *do* something about a security-challenged VP or other highly-ranked person, let us know. Most of the time, unless you have the ear of the CIO or CISO, and those people outrank the idiot, you're the one that's going to end up as dog food if you get into a major pissing match... Or hell, it doesn't even need to be a VP - you know those security rule-bending things that you know *all* salesdroids do when they have 45 minutes till they make a big presentation at a customer site? Stop them from doing it just once, and have the presentation tank as a result, and let me know how much longer you get to work there...
