Simson Garfinkel: Anti-Social Engineering

Simson Garfinkel in CSO Magazine: “Kevin Mitnick is the most famous computer hacker of our time. ––– message [in his book The Art of Deception] is simple: Humans are the weakest link in any security system. Companies need to spend more time training their employees on how to resist such attacks. However, [his] systematic downplay of technology and its value in defending sensitive information is yet another act of deception – one that could be far more damaging than any of his other exploits to date.” (Via Ed Felten.)

The above was posted to my personal weblog on November 13, 2002. My name is Peter Lindberg and I am a thirtysomething software developer and dad living in Stockholm, Sweden. Here, you’ll find posts in English and Swedish about whatever happens to interest me for the moment.
