Doesn't say much for the IT staff over at T-Mobile now does it. Wonder if Rush got his account hijacked given the fondness he has for his Sidekick.

Not gonna see that on the T-mobile commercials. Wonder if Catherine-Zeta jones got her account jacked?

I read this earlier and laughed real good. Typical of a 21 year old. This kid is good but he got caught.

Ping-win-less interesting read.

The USSS uses commercial e-mail to send unencrypted "highly sensitive information pertaining to ongoing USSS criminal cases"?

Doesn't say much for the USSS, does it?

It's been going on for years. A recently published excerpt sample of SS email from 1997:

"Thunder Thighs called me a no good bastard today when I opened the door for her. Then she kicked B-dog when he ran up to greet her.

If that wasn't enough to be a typical day around here along comes Bent-1 with another awestruck, glassy eyed intern in tow. He sends the secratary out of the office takes the intern into the Oval and asks me to watch the door. A while later he sticks his head out asking for a light for a soggy cigar he's gumming."

I love it. These technotards get burned all the time. If you want to keep a secret don't tell anyone, don't write it down, and for sure don't record it electronically.

What it says is that T-Mobiles IT staff about average. The request for a proxy server indicates that some policy and procedures were already in place. That would indicate that the normal protections were in place.

The fact that he was able to get around those normal protections indicate that the T-Mobile staff does not have a top notch IT security on staff or as a consultant.

The truth be told, MOST companies fall in this range.

I certainly feel comfortable that the National ID system that we're about to have will be secure, that no one will be able to more easily steal our identities than now, or simply find out private information about us. A-yup, I feel very comfortable, indeed...baaaaaah!

Sigh....I wonder when folks are going to realize that nothing is absolutely secure and hack-proof.

Hands up if you want the carriers to continue with plans for a mobile phone 411 directory!
