A Swedish security expert showed how easily he got past Microsoft's Internet security measures and broke into three Swedish banks, and then showed how easy it was to cover his tracks. He exploited the Secure Socket Layer to get through the door. Microsoft officials in Sweden said there's no way he could have violated the SSL that way.

THE MISSING LINK
Judge plays hardball with software consultant
There's a reason consultants are sometimes called "insultants." Case in point, as it were: San Antonio, Texas. A software consultant called for jury duty starting making his own rules, demanding $100 per hour for his "services" (the going rate is $40 per day) and warning that he would charge interest if the bill were not paid in full by the end of the month. But wait -- there's more! The guy wrote the court a note: "If you would like to meet and discuss this, please have his honor call and schedule an appointment." The juror caused a furor down at the courthouse -- the judge threatened to throw him in the clink for contempt. That seemed to reboot this guy back to reality -- he agreed to serve on the jury at no extra charge.
