On the topic of information security: The New York Times has an in depth article on Albert Gonzales, the TJX hacker who stole data on millions of credit card transactions.
The Great Cyberheist, by James Verini, New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/magazine/14Hacker-t.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 The article is not a romanticized story. Verini writes that after his sentencing "Gonzalez was transferred ... to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn," which is, "brutal, even for a prison. Populated by hardened offenders, it is among the last places a nonviolent government informant would want to be." Verini goes on to add that *"a*ccounting for time served and good behavior, Gonzalez is expected to get out of prison in 2025.*"*
