InfoSec News: Man Gets Past Willis Tower Security, All the Way Up to 102nd Floor: http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/willis-sears-tower-man-security-threat-elevator-chicago-terrorism-20110523
By Craig Wall FOX Chicago News 23 May 2011
Chicago - Willis Tower security is investigating how a disheveled man wandered into an elevator and made it all the way up to the 102nd floor before anyone stopped him.
The camera in the Franklin Street lobby of the Willis Tower shows a security officer directing people where to go on Monday, May 16, as they usually do. But, when the long haired, 42-year-old psychiatric patient wandered in, security missed him.
After meandering down several hallways, the man follows an employee with a key pass into a freight elevator and makes his way up the Tower.
A spokesman for the Willis Tower says it was while the man was in the elevator that he was spotted by security. He was in the building for 16 minutes, making it all the way up to the 102nd floor. On his way down he was arrested on the 32nd floor and charged with misdemeanor trespassing.

Small firms learn size doesn't matter to hackers

InfoSec News: Small firms learn size doesn't matter to hackers: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-smallbiz-security-20110523,0,5494792.story

It took all of three minutes for the hacker to break into the small accounting firm's computer system.
The virtual open window into the system turned out to be a computer equipped with outdated software. It provided access to the office network and the hacker was able to get files that included private financial information.
"That was a shock," said Lynne Leavitt, a partner at the four-person Los Angeles firm, Brakensiek Leavitt Pleger. "I thought we had good security. I thought we were safe."
Luckily, it was just a test. The hacker had been employed by a security company to test the accountants' digital defenses. As a result, the firm put in new software and adopted new security procedures.
Cyber security is not just for big businesses. "That's one of the myths we come across — 'I am too small,'" said Stan Stahl, head of a Los Angeles cyber-security company Citadel Information Group Inc. and president of the Los Angeles chapter of the Information Systems Security Assn., a trade group.
