They got into his email account, and placed his private mail into a text file. I was surprised. I didn't even know it was possible to break into someones email account. Cookies???
Now I'm concerned. I use SuSE Linux. What stops someone from popping in the SuSE CD, go into rescue mode, deleting my root password, then enter into my computer as root!?! From what I've read on the thread, this does not seem too difficult. And our company has more than a few top notch Russian programmers.
Dude, how secure do you want your OS to be? No recovery whatsoever? Why do you let thieves get to your box? SuSE isn't responsible for the social engineering going on at your work place. mk ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
