Good Morning

This morning we are going to look at a hacker incident and it's consequences.

Some may wonder "why should I worry about a hacker, I don't have anything a hacker would want", or "why would a hacker break into my system". My answer is "why ask why". What does it matter "why" they break into a system. To quote a friend, "boot it and they will come". Thinking you have nothing to intrest a hacker is no defense. You have a computer. That is enough.
