#1 If he is as good as all that but still unemployed, somebody (not the Rantburg somebody, of course) has been keeping a very close eye on him since the case file was opened. Were I he, I would feel more than a bit paranoid, and not at all sanguine about my future.

#2 I'm not sure he's that good. This happened before 9/11 and a lot of government sites were not secured well. No excuse for that, but the urgency wasn't there. Neither was broadband very prevalent.

He apparently used one of the spyware packages floating around the hacker bulletin boards once he got in to the systems. As a sys admin he knew what to look for, but so would any sys admin.

A whole lot of things have changed since 9/11 re: computer security on DOD systems.
