Hey! Turn on AM860 today. They are running a story on that credit card rip off. And they interviewed me. (Okay, a little shameless self-promotion.) I should note, one point I made in the story, that's been gnawing at me ever since the Columbia disaster is that back in 1996, NASA got hacked and some key systems for command and control of the shuttle were temporarily disabled. As I understand it, the hack wasn't very serious and NASA fixed the problem quickly. Yet, when I heard about the shuttle I immediately thought about that story and wondered, what if a hacker actually did something like bring down the shuttle. What better way to hit America then to bring down our space program through hacking. Just the mere thought of it sends shivers down my spine. Fortunately, I don't think anything like this has happened...yet. _____________________________________ Andrew Plato, CISSP President / Principal Consultant Anitian Corporation Enterprise Security & Infrastructure Solutions (503) 644-5656 office (503) 201-0821 cell http://www.anitian.com _____________________________________
