tlug: System security

[Frank Bennett <bennett@example.com>]

Those who were begging for more after the recent lengthy discussion of
security and responsibility issues on TLUG --- and even those who were 
begging for less --- may like this one.

Apparently nike.com was redirected by a spoofer, and the traffic wound up
running through the servers of a small ISP.  The ISP owner has cried foul
and threatens legal action, on the basis that Nike's negligence gave him a
bad day.  Nike says Network Solutions was negligent.

You saw this one coming, folks.  :-)

Cheers,
