Was that the first, second or third dilemma or just the orwellian angloamerican-gulliverian thing of the frustration of two adversial little-big endian parties, hanging chads, Murdoch networks and nothing better to do, like in Bulgaria?? Ilmarinen The Bulgarian hackers were really smart in creating all those new viruses, nothing else to do. Luckily most layed off IT-experts barely know how to edit ASCII-html file, visual studios and debuggers keeps them out of the real thing. maybe that is why these nordic guys have found some of the backdoors to explorers, and Opera, Linux as well as Nokia firewalls are popular??

chapq, << "huge holes" >> Has Bruce Schneier commented on this one? >> AT&T Wireless and Verizon Customer Details Exposed Elizabeth Biddlecombe Total Telecom 28 July 2001 Customers of U.S. mobile operators Verizon and AT&T Wireless have been exposed to a hack attack, according to IDG. An investigation has been started into a breach that meant that customer information was shared publicly in Internet chat rooms. The security lapse appears to have affected customers located in Oklahoma and California who joined up with the operators between December and April of this year and, crucially, who ordered services over the Internet. Details could have included credit card numbers, social security numbers and driver's license details, which would be enough to enable a full identity theft in the US, along with other personal information. "It looks like some information may have been taken possibly from these wireless providers and also possibly from a third party that might be doing credit checks for the wireless providers," Jim Magdych, security research manager for PGP Security, part of Network Associates, told The Industry Standard . Both operators said they were investigating the situation and that they took security issues very seriously as a whole. << - Eric -
