[brlug-general] [SAGE] The danger of SSH keys..

[willhill]

I'd say they have already made havoc on the network and that and physical data 
security is a joke in most situations.  The secretary's computer is like 
most.  More than 90% have spyware. It has an average time to "hijack" of four 
minutes.  I doubt it's better off than the hundreds of computers at the 
Department of Defense that were turned into spambots or worse.  If it were 
not for all of those unwilling hosts, you would not have to filter so much 
spam, would not have to pay off DoS blackmail and the many other fine uses 
criminals have for them.
