RE: Most data breaches tied to the mob, report

As a member of the hacking community I'd like to +1 this article... hackers probe systems and find exploits, and many ethical hackers will alert companies of the exploit. On the other hand, organized criminals are the ones responsible for giving hackers a bad name. Additionally, most of the time they aren't even 'hacking' but as the statistics point out... they have a plant or inside man... think about this the next time you put your credit card info into a form, or say it on the phone... is the person that reads that info a trusted employee or disgruntled employee? Companies need to look on the inside for their security vulnerabilities. Policies and guidelines with employee oversight could eliminate a great deal of all security problems -- this applies to gov't agencies as well!!!
