Is your company a sitting duck for hackers? When did you last change your password? How complete
are your security systems? Have you ever been broken into before?
According to IANS, the International Association for Network Security, there’s a new breed of hackers
out there And, there’s also a new target In the past, hackers gained notoriety from breaking into big
companies’ networks In fact, the bigger the company, the bigger the success when hackers broke into
Informix’s notoriously secure system 1999, they made headline news around the world
The big “success” came with a major drawback This headline break-in came with international teams
of investigators and serious criminal charges Several former famous hackers are now sitting behind bars or
working overtime to pay off hefty fines in penalties and damages
So, hackers of a new decade have turned to a new target: smaller companies Smaller companies often
spend less on their security systems if they have never been broken into before, they may be lulled into a
feeling of security They are often lax about changing their password frequently enough And that spells
trouble
Also, a breach system in a smaller company may attract little public attention Investigations may be
brief and superficial, as overloaded investigators pursue bigger problems

access to your files, destroying, copying, or altering them They can create havoc with your data And if they
do, you’ll surely wish you had changed your password once more often
