Slide Show: 10 Worst Moments in Network Security
Thanks to Network World for inserting a link in the middle of Dave Kearn’s article, leading to an intriguing slide show, “10 Worst Moments in Network Security.â€
Ranging from
“Digital Equipment Corp. marketing guy Gary Thuerk gets technical assistance to send what’s regarded as the first ‘spam’ message to thousands on the government-funded Arpanetâ€
to
“Societe Generale, the large French financial services firm, discloses that one of its low-level options traders, Jerome Kerviel, has committed stock fraud worth an astonishing $7 billion, the largest in history traced to rogue trading.â€
this slide show provides a somewhat nostalgic, but provocative view of bad stuff happening out there in cyberspace.
