He only hacked a website---why is this news? Given the headline and the photo, I thought he'd hacked the auto's computerized control system. Now <i>that</i> would be a worthy hack. Deadly, most likely, but still impressive. Damn! He only hacked a website—why is this news?

Read some fresh and original thinking from the author of “IT Wars” - http://www.businessforum.com/DScott_02.html - I urge every business person and IT person, management or staff, to get hold of a copy of "I.T. Wars: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium." It has an excellent chapter on security, and how to scale security for any organization, any budget. It also has a plan template with all considerations. Our CEO has read this book. Our project managers are on their second reading. Our vendors are required to read it (they can borrow our copies if they don't want to purchase it). Any agencies that wish to partner with us: We ask that they read it. Do yourself a favor and read this book - then ask your boss to read it - then ask your staff and co-workers to read it.
