UConn Hacker

It seems almost riduculous that a root kit could get installed and no one dicover it. But Im sure this all happens to more folks than UConn than we really know.

Spend money on IT security. The Forrester Group did a survey of how
much people were spending on IT security in 2000, and their estimate
was that most Fortune 500 companies were spending .0025 percent of
revenue. Now, if you spent .0025 - and incidentally, those companies
spend more than that on coffee - you deserve to be hacked. And by the
way, you will be.
