While Novell is certainly guilty of idiocy on several counts here, without question the primary guilt lies with the hackers who not only knocked over this box, were looking for more booty through it's external connections.

You can't trust those guys to work on government computers though when they're caught. I know of one hacker that was being kept at a federal prison, and was allowed to work on the computers there as help, supposedly isolated from anything important. Not too long after that some paperwork showed up saying it was time for his release. Guess where that came from?

Thank you for that vital info. I'll have to put an addendum.

If the perp chooses to work in electronic countermeasures, he will be monitored 24/7, where at the slightest hint of wrong doing, armed guards will come out and pummel the mofo.
