OnPoint: MSD's Leaky Servers, in reply to BenWilson,
Well, that's the first time I've heard someone actually claim to have been there, I'll admit. It's usually "this guy down the pub".

Which is why I call bullshit on your mate's story.

I did a job once where the server (and all terminals) were in a copper lined room with an airlock like arrangement on the door to ensure that no bits could ever escape.
Tempest specced?

A friend of mine stole a million dollars from a bank just by lying on a deposit slip at an ATM and padding it with a Jaffa packet. I'd tell the whole story if I thought anyone would actually believe it.
Yeah, nah. The story is well known (in banking circles anyway) which is why deposits don't clear the moment you put them into the machine. It's the equivalent of the old "night deposit" slot some banks used to have. As soon as the machine was cleared in the morning, the deposit was reversed.

does case law support that?
Yes. It's a strategy, not a regulation, or even a policy.

If you're going there to do your CV, very likely, as you'll want a copy to take away with you. However, as others have said, it's not a matter of how easy it was to do, it's that it could be done at all that is the issue.
And you wouldn't have to stick a USB key in the port to find out stuff. I'm wondering if there might be a few private investigators and claim tracers cursing Keith for shutting down a primo source.

Don't feed the trolls, Russell. They'll be asking for USB access next.

I do like the quote on the Herald's article:
Mr Ng has raised $4000 for writing the story though fundraising website Givealittle.
"Basically, it's busking journalism. I do the story, then ask for money. It beats the hell out of freelancing," said Mr Ng.
I read it to my wife and she said "it's quite an interesting new model for journalism, isn't it?" I love her because she gets it. ;-)

I wrote lots more words about all there on my very own bloggy thing...
Dealing with #WTFMSDGood post, Dylan. I can't see them doing it but it's a good suggestion, in my view.
