Ex-Exel president found guilty of hacking former employers

JML

Joiners, Movers and Leaver processes not effective. A manager could have triggered the process informing HR of the resignation or dismissal of the employee. HR will confirm and inform IT to disable or remove such accounts. Compliance thus require audit trail so disabling the account will be sufficient.

Oh hang on... there was a backdoor right? Is this through external email access or some kind of secured tunnel. Hmm, nothing new here..Oh well, erm, they the organisation may still be compliant with a number of regulations yet these sort of things still happens.

Android phone auto reverts jailbreaks

@dylan 4

I would guess either HTC or T-Mobile will have the means to allow the user to upgrade their firmware.

The good news is, their "means" will be used by others to "jail-break" the phone.

So all is not lost for the "jail-breakers"

Police charge 11 over Zeus cybercrime scam

Free internet for crime...

Who did they use to get decent bandwidth?

Don't forget that you don't have to sit in your room anymore to do anything these days. The internet on the mobile devices plus free wifi from even the fast food chain makes it easier.

They're from EU right. So they'll setup a server there and remotely login to harvest their data.

No need for decent broadband at home anymore.

@Warren G

What were you thinking. Social networking site that gathers your private data would surely know everything about you.

Log back in with the details you registered with, and you'll be faced with an option to retrieve your old account. :P, at least Hi5 has this option for you.

You can run but you can't hide from Facebook now :)
