Thanks for that. Of note:

"a list of account usernames and passwords for network systems and services" -- Not of his coworkers.
"Venzor allegedly used a separate Lucchese network account named elplaser" -- Does not say he created it like the 1st article.

Strange that there is a delta in the information provided by the two articles.

...a company that is dumb enough to run it's entire business applications from a single server. http://www.kvia.com/crime/fbi-... "Investigators learned that the server controlled the company's production line, warehouse, distribution center and its ability to take orders."

Uh, a company "dumb enough"? This "single server" is also known as an ERP system. And a shitload of large companies around the world run ERP systems. The dumb part is not protecting them with a valid DR strategy.

This guy had that kind of access, and knowledge for that matter, as a help desk employee? The article is confusing but who puts a sys admin on the help desk with any ability to access all company servers in the first place?

...and I found my answer...a company that is dumb enough to run it's entire business applications from a single server. http://www.kvia.com/crime/fbi-... "Investigators learned that the server controlled the company's production line, warehouse, distribution center and its ability to take orders."

"A year after the therapy, two of the patients had complete remission of leukemia and one had a partial response to the therapy."


looks like 2 out of 3 people are in full remission... doesn't sound like being only 70% of cancerous tissues removed to me.

A hacker could might have installed a remote access program, downloaded the files manually, and then uninstalled the remote access program. There wouldn't be much evidence to suggest that this guy didn't download the kiddie porn himself.

Child porn becomes an obsession.

There are usually two elements in an arrest and conviction for possession:

1 The number of files retrieved is enormous.

In the thousands or tens or thousands. Authorities arrest 64-year-old man for child pornography

In this case, 40,000 photos and videos.

2 The defendant's behavior was reckless and self-destructive.

He'll try to slip his porn stash through customs. Va. man headed to prison for child porn It will be found on the cell phone he left behind at Starbucks. The laptop he brought into his grade school classroom. Pike High School teacher charged with possession of child porn

This guy was lucky.

Luck as nothing to do with it. Criminal investigation at its most basic isn't about tech, its about people. The frame has to fit or you look elsewhere.

The geek should give up his life of crime. He isn't as smart as he thinks. The schemes he contrives are overly complex and fragile. The human element is ignored.

YEAH, that bastard never helps anyone except himself.

It's also a crime to rape people, steal, view child porn using government property, armed robbery, and thousands more.

you're 100% right. they certainly do it all the time.
