RE: Beginner question re: CPYBTL

| 80% of all computer crimes are inside jobs.

This being true, I am still of the opinion that ANY computer is only as
secure as the people working on them are honest.  I don't know that this is
strictly a problem that will EVER be solved by technology...

My question is:  is there ANY computer that is secure against dishonest
people working from the inside...?

My answer is:  No.  Yet measures should be taken to minimize the risk, of
course.

Key point.  (Again, NOT saying there is NO problem here.)

1) So can't IBM or Symantec or somebody else identify CHARACTERISTICS of
these kinds-a backdoors...?  Or is that not really feasible, technically...?

2) Don't some industries BOND workers in sensitive areas...?  Yes, but I
don't know if this is done much in the Computer Industry or not.  Again,
might be a question where the Non-Tech list might give more opinions... (?)
