You did verify that Dave's credentials were real, right?

Also, there is SO much more to cover (from employee background checks, to suspicious network activity, to recommending home users buy and install routers with firewall protection...).

You know what I recommend? A Parent-Teacher-FBI Weekend. This can help the community immensely, and educate the parents to watch for the downloads of their kids, and help the teachers see what their pupils are up to.

Just who checks the background of your company's sysAdmin? I wonder how many companies have IT and MIS running porn and scam servers? I know of a bank in PA that has an IT exec that previously commited larceny (buying extra network equipment...reselling it back to the company..) at a company I worked at. Imagine when you discover your budget increase and his new house....
