“…McKinnon used a simple brute-force Perl script over a 56Kbps modem that tested default passwords…”
He did this from overseas. It undermines my confidence in the US Military’s security; on the other hand, if hostile countries and terrorists hadn’t figured this out it may be comforting that our enemies just aren’t that bright. We hope:
“Further muddying the question of exactly how much damage McKinnon did are his claims of finding evidence from other hackers who accessed the same computer systems he did, but successfully evaded detection.”
2) I’m thinking about buying a new car. Or something… http://www.martinjetpackusa.com/
3) Congratulations to Denise and Wael on the birth of their daughter Olivia.
4) Congratulations to Daisy on the birth of her first born son George: Baby!
5) In Red Sox news - The Manny Trade. Aliyah found the silver lining. She hopes that his uniform change will mean no more Red Sox players will look like they pooped their pants. Hopefully the Dodgers can get him a clean helmet. They can probably afford it since the Sox have decided to continue to pay his $20 million salary.
6) My birthday is coming up. If you don't know what to get me please make a donation in my name to the San Diego Zoo gorillas:

Or an iTunes gift card. I still have a few things on cassette tape.
