Title: Security fail: When trusted IT people go bad
Post by: Mr_Anderson on January 19, 2011, 03:19:12 PM

I came across this article (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9204581/Security_fail_When_trusted_IT_people_go_bad?taxonomyId=17&pageNumber=1) today and found it to be pretty interesting. It deals with flawed IT security and how one member of the IT staff can even bring down a fortune 500 company.

The risk of trusting someone with the "keys to the kingdom" is that you are trusting they won't abuse them.

No, actually I can't.  My trust in the federal government is less than ever!
