'Rogue' game server admins defend hosting on company gear

Back in January, I wrote about a group of Scandinavian gamers who hijacked a New Hampshire medical center's server and bandwidth to host their "Call of Duty: Black Ops" sessions, which resulted in some 230,000 patients having their personal information put at risk. In getting reaction to that story, Stephen Heaslip of the gamer site Blues News told me that hackers are not the most likely individuals to use corporate servers for illicit gaming: Such appropriations are more often the work of IT administrators.

Heaslip was gracious enough to help me get in touch with a few of these rogue game server admins by posting a call to his readership. Four volunteers raised their hands. The result is a question-and-answer package that we've taken off Buzzblog and put into our news section today
