[ale] Hand Of Thief

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Sergio,

Thanks for posting that.  Good article.

Here's a good quote from it:

"I've said this before, and I'll say it again, any machine that's 
plugged into a network connection is vulnerable -- Windows, Mac, and 
even Linux."

I would add to that quote: Android, IOS, Windows Mobile, Blackberry OS, 
Symbian, etc.

Well, Oh crud!  Looks like Linux maintenance requirements and risk are 
starting to creep up.  A long way to go to catch Windows and Mac, but 
these things are the first step.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
