Now that you can sell virtual items for real cash, attackers are targeting online gamers. According to Information Week, there is now a trojan targeting World of Warcracft passwords, PWS.Win32.WOW.x .
"Win32.WOW is a clear indication that malware writers are targeting anything that involves money," said MicroWorld chief executive Govind Rammurthy in a statement. "Bucks may be smaller compared to a Trojan that steals bank accounts or credit card numbers...[but] cyber criminals are not complaining as long as the target is soft and numbers are high."

It's great to get noticed, especially when you're number 4 and the project in front of you is Sourcefire.
Recent regulatory changes have heightened interest in two-factor authentication systems for corporate security and online banking. WiKID uses open-source software and everyday cell phones, PDAs, and other handheld devices to generate one-time passwords that are as secure (and more convenient) as hardware tokens. Price: $10 per person per year and up.I'm pretty sure that both Vyatta, and Untangle support Radius, so you could easily combine WiKID with one of the top two for a very tight, low cost, remote access security solution.

It looks as though there was one admin, Wilson, who was cooperating with the feds and had the portable drives. Decrypting the mail resulted in the arrest of two other sys admins. Wilson thought he had deleted all the passwords to thwart the FBI. The investigation is part of a political corruption probe. See the full story in the Philly Inquirer
