>Your post - if your intranet is so vulnerable that it can actually be accessed by a web browser via the Internet, you can't possibly hold everyone that stumbles into it responsible - however unlikely the stumbling atually is.

>Lamo Story - Five minutes and one guessed password later and Lamo was surfing the television network's private messaging system...
