There Is No Patch For Stupidity.

I Was Pretty Much The Government's Poster Boy For What I Had Done.

A Company Can Spend Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars On Firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems And Encryption And Other Security Technologies, But If An Attacker Can Call One Trusted Person Within The Company, And That Person Complies, And If The Attacker Gets In, Then All That Money Spent On Technology Is Essentially Wasted.

Oracle, For Example, Has Even Hired People To Dumpster Dive For Information About Its Competitor, Microsoft. It's Not Even Illegal, Because Trash Isn't Covered By Data Secrecy Laws.

I Obtained Confidential Information In The Same Way Government Employees Did, And I Did It All Without Even Touching A Computer. ... I Was So Successful With This Line Of Attack That I Rarely Had To Go Towards A Technical Attack.
