Silly IT Security Stories for the Soul
August is media-silly season. Nothing really happens during August–well, except for the beginnings and ends of World Wars and a few other minor things.
August is when the media, the folks who aren't on vacation, make up for the lull by covering stupid stories. (That’s not 100 percent correct but it is August, after all. Maybe that explains what happened to Niall Ferguson and Newsweek.) This is the time of year when the Web is filled with reports of shark attacks, baked goods bearing the likenesses of deities and political conventions. (Why does any media organization anywhere cover those damn things?)
So why should we here at IT Security Hack HQ be less lazy than anyone else? In honor of media-silly season here are some truly silly IT security stories.
