http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/08/16/2337469.htm By Dan Karpenchuk in Toronto ABC.net.au Aug 16, 2008 Canada is again facing an embarrassing security breach after a sensitive government document was found on a rainy Ottawa street. The document, made up of 131 pages, was found on a rain-soaked street in a brown envelope. It was titled Nemesis - a classified database used by officers to track and prosecute polluters and environmental law breakers. It detailed a number of the system's failings and even described how the data could be attacked by industrial hackers, environmental activists or organised crime. If someone were able to shut down or corrupt the system, officers might not be able to prosecute cases. A spokesman for Environment Canada would not give details about how the documents ended up on the street, but said the department will look into the matter. __________________________________________________ Visit Defcon Pics - Defcon Memory Repository http://www.defconpics.orgReceived on Tue Aug 19 2008 - 03:07:49 PDT
