Computerized Betting System Proves Vulnerable

Posted by michael on from the risks-digest dept.

count3r writes "A front page article in today's New York Times reports that an employee of Autotote has been fired for (allegedly) hacking the system responsible for 65% of all horseracing bets in North America. The caper, if it is indeed a caper, resulted in a series of six bets that paid a total of $3,000,000 in last Saturday's Breeders' Cup."

    Look, have you taken any university-level courses on race relations? If you haven't, stay the hell out of the conversation. It makes zero difference if it's true or not. If it defames people of color in any way, it's racist, end of story.
