who that is crazy! Bill Gates got his info jacked. That is pretty crazy and definitely makes you wonder how easy it must be for them to get that info from regular blue collar workers who don't know nearly as much about computers as he does. Good stuff! Jared Smith Samantha Torok <sailboat1030@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: The internet socitial issue I thought was most interesting, is internet Break Ins. Several websites you can visit have portions where you fill out your name, email address, and sometimes sensitive information like credit card numbers. When websites with this information bet broken into, this information can be viewed by the wrong people. These people can steal all of your information. There were 9 e-commerce sites and 26,000 peoples information was given out. One of the people was even Bill Gates!! That was in 2000 and I'm sure several other cases have been found out since then. The people that break in are called crackers. If they are caught trespassing, its a year in prison, five years for stealing money, and ten years for stealing information like credit card numbers. This link is a company that will sell you information about how to prevent break ins. http://www.test.bitpipe.com/detail/RES/1060189856_508.html Sami Torok --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
