How in blazes do you and Hutch ever expect the average person to sort through all this and come out being an expert. My son is one great soft ware programmer but he won't touch IT and problems in its encryption now as it is is complex and continually changing. His efforts are being directed into cost control software development hacking is the last thing on this mind. Security is two systems for him one with no net access. We are about as non directional non efficient as we could possibly be in regards to how most on the net including me leave are computers up for grabs.

I was sure NASA have a better protection..... <<Poland Hunts Hacker Who Penetrated NASA Jun 27, 11:28 am ET WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish prosecutors said on Thursday they were searching for a computer hacker believed by the United States to have penetrated the NASA space agency, causing damage reportedly estimated at $1 million. The search was focusing on Poznan in the west of Poland, a country which has a tradition of code breaking dating back to helping crack Nazi Germany's Enigma encryption machine during World War II. But regional prosecutor Miroslaw Adamski declined to confirm a newspaper report that U.S. cybercops had followed an electronic trail to a computer used by a Poznan high school graduate. "We started our investigation earlier this month after receiving information from the U.S. embassy," Adamski told Reuters. "At the moment, we don't want to confirm any of the accusations." Adamski did, however, say investigators were examining computers from which the electronic break-in was believed to have originated. Newspapers reported that a liaison officer from the Federal Bureau of Investigation was aiding the probe in a bid to ascertain how much data had been taken from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. "I can only confirm that an investigation is under way," a U.S. embassy spokesman said. "And because an investigation is under way we can't comment." news1.iwon.com\|top\|06-27-2002::11:30\|reuters.html
