For those interested in this kind of thing, RSA was attacked, seems like cyber-criminals are upping the ante a bit.

This is another "catch" not RSA though - second link is about his sentencing - but cannot find anything about actual sentencing.

Charleroi police Det. Eric Porter described Yawson as a “computer whiz” who has a computer-related master’s degree from California University of Pennsylvania.

He is in federal custody at this time (weapons charges ?). He faces 5 yrs in prison and a $250,000 fine according to a third report.

Can you imagine the revenue they could possibly lose? Surprised

This is both a good dose of egg on their face, but also concerning to me at how much ground these guys are gaining.

*edit - I like the comment left on the article you posted. It's a pretty true point, and links up to what this site has exposed me to, I think in general we need to re-evaluate our security measures (in a theological as well as a practical approach) in a broader perspective, as we're just not beating these guys (not as a baiters but as a whole).
