FBI Agent Talks Crime, Macs
hype7 writes "There's an article at SecurityFocus describing a visit an FBI agent to Washington University. His visit was ostensibly about computer security and the general public's complete lack of any idea on computer security whatsoever: 'I have spent a considerable amount in the computer underground and have seen many ways in which clever individuals trick unsuspecting users. I don't think most people have a clue just how bad things are.' His talk ranged from some of the pranks he's seen played on unsuspecting users, to Eastern European extortion of big banks." WeakGeek added, "FBI security guys are using Macs because, 'those machines can do just about anything: run software for Mac, Unix, or Windows, using either a GUI or the command line. And they're secure out of the box.' Another good quote: 'If you're a bad guy and you want to frustrate law enforcement, use a Mac.'"
First they came for the Mac users
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Mac user.
Then they came for the *BSD users
and I did not speak out
because I was not a *BSD user.
Then they came for the Linux users
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Linux user.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

'If you're a bad guy...use a Mac.'
Or, if you're gay.
lol, I cant live without four buttons and a wheel. The MS Intellimouse Optical is the best Ive ever used
More to the point, I'm sitting here using my under $15 logitech 3-button mouse (w/ scroll wheel) that plugged right in with no need for drivers on my G4.

You know those signs you see on telephone poles that read "Make money! Work at home!"? A lot of that "work" is actually laundering products for the Russian mob.
I've been wondering how to break into a career with the mafia.
mod it flamebait, troll, off-topic, being a dick, whatever...but if you submit something, why the fuck can't you make sure the sentences are complete?

"...describing a visit by an FBI agent to..."
"...describing a visit an FBI agent made to..."
"...describing an FBI agent's visit to..."
"...describing the happy journeys of an FBI agent in the magical land of..."
or any other options you can think of that might make it a complete sentence.
