REALLY tired of wireless theives?
This man had truly had it with people stealing his internet, so much so that he sealed his house in zinc-coated lead. Aparently no one taught this man how to set up WPA, WPA2, or a MAC filter.

Accessing a Network Through the Side Door
Nokia has written another article titled Accessing a Network Through the Side Door. In this article he writes about a presentation by a senior Microsoft programmer about computer security. The article includes video, and a good brief of the seminar. It describes an extremely well executed attack that fully exploits a web server, and then moves into the main corporate LAN, including a nice little remote desktop GUI. You can check it out here, and Digg it here.

Canadian Nuclear Power Site Hacked
A Canadian nuclear power plants web page was hacked and an investigation is under way to determine how the attack was executed and by who. The hacker placed pictures of exploding nuclear bombs on every sub-page, but nothing on the main page itself. The attacker also placed a message that read, "Please Don't Put me in Jail....oops, I divided by 0". Canadian officials said no internal information was compromised.
