Can I used this as a quote.. AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RFID has a dark future. I can't wait till I have enough money to get a white panel van with a directional ANT. on top. The amount of research I will be able to do in parking lots, Customer tracking in malls, behaver patterns in shoppers. I may make enough to learn how to spell better.
But since "The Ancients" are not around to claim or update the copyrights, does this make them public domain?
Beings have been stealing "The Ancients" technology for thousands of years.
Some even think of themselves as GODS. Don't mushrooms have the same affect?
There is this thing called remote monitoring. Doctors and nurses use to to monitor a patients vitails from the nurses station along with logging that data.
I do agree with the card reader though. Shouldn't that have been and embeded system? Why did they no long work? Was it because the user access was on a DB server or on the "Trusted NetworK"? Remeber there is a big push for that.
Here is my take.
1. Student is a fault. To what point is not known. Cause there is no information about how he "Hacked" a system. If it was just a webpage that installed software with you the client PC user knowing. Then he is no more responsible than a bunch of other companies on the net. If it was illegal computer access then that is a different story.
2. Hospital: This can be a trickie one. Companies across the World are having to instruct user on good internet habits. They hve to teach employees good surfing. Personal I thinnk IT should have been assholes and blocked all non-medical traffic. Un-registered domains would not be allowed.
Software/netowrk vendors: Sorry to say the biggest problem with some is the Auth. and to what level. when a PC has network Admin rights..... do I need to explain.
Employees/system (L)users: I have seen so many people trying to make money to click on website or add smilies to email that is makes me sick. They just don't understand what that junk does.
3. Adware/Spyware: I know this isn't going to be liked. But the're only problem is in the install. There needs to be away the the install can not be automated. , and they need to STATE what the really do. They are no more a problem than the phone sex, dating,... etc companies on late night TV.
I find it strange that this hospital was referred to taking an active response to just this thing. I can't help but wonder to what level security was employeed. Would really like to know the history of the IT dept. Why did (L)users have right to install programs on work stations, if this was the case. What method did the hacker use to install the bots? Info like this would be of good use to IT professionals. Cause most of the trade mags are now just trying to sale you crap.
By the way: It only takes one or two machines to flood a network server or gateway from the LAN to bring the site to a crawl.
I would think they can get anyone they want too. When it is your turn and you pissed osmeone off, Just be prepared. I also think Microsoft would be easier to get into. Anyone that has or uses the MSN messenger knows about the worms going around on it. About passwords. when you are a system administrator you basically have a OMNI persents. And when the FBI comes to you ISP with a court order, ( they usualy do if you have read the news articles) The ISP has no choice but to hand over backup data, logs and etc... If I was an ISP and it was up to me.. I would send you to jail before I would go to jail for you. I seem to remember a time when they would take, ( Like to a crime lab.) a businesses computers and basicly shut them down.
The hole thing here is that if you are stupid enough to run an illegal operation over the internet, Well your time will come. Just like the guy that ran an escort service over the net in Marrietta,GA a few years back.
By the way Mr. Microsoft plug guy. Just what was nimba?? And how many microsoft users did it compared to Linux/unix/apple users?

that just proves SCO thinking. "It is all about Me." Get your t-shirts now.
I wonder can they trademark Me after Microsoft has used it?
