I'd say Fox has sunk to a new low, but it's hard to top their report on Anonymous.

I can think of a 1000 reasons why this is a bad ideal. Though if I had the disease, tracking my progress would be nice.

Hello all,

Had this discussion with some fellow former coworkers recently. We popped an ad in Craigslist for network admins and other jobs. As usual, we get bombarded with resumes - by the end of the first day we had 79 replies to the ad.

I comb through the resumes and usually do a keyword search for defcon, rsa, etc etc. I also search for stuff like Facebook, MySpace :)

In the past, I've taken resumes from past Defcon attendees and moved them to the "top of the pile" - so to speak. My feeling is that someone who spends their own time and money bettering themselves deserves more consideration than a typical cubicle drone.

I also ask in the interview if the applicant has attended any security or other computer conventions because many times they don't list them on the resume.

While mentioning Defcon definitely earns points with me, it doesn't seem to help with decision makers who haven't attended Defcon. To them, a Defcon attendee is someone to be avoided.

Have any of you mentioned DC in your resumes or interviews? What was the reaction?

It's been said "good fences make for good neighbors." Now good firewalls make for better neighbors. Barry Ardolf, 45, of Minneapolis has been accused of using his neighbor's Wi-Fi network to send threatening emails to vice president Joseph Biden. The NewNewInternet reports if that weren't enough, Ardolf also sent child pornography to his neighbor's coworkers using a fake email account he set up in his neighbor's name. Ardolf has turned down a plea deal and now faces a minimum of seven years in federal prison on charges of aggravated identity theft and making threats to the life of the President of the United States and his successors.

Hacker Threatens Biden, Frames Neighbor

This was written by Michael Cheek on Tuesday, June 15, 2010, 9:56.

A hacker tried to frame his neighbor by using his neighbor’s Wi-Fi and sending threatening messages to Vice President Joe Biden, according to recently unsealed search warrant affidavits.

Barry Ardolf, 45, is accused of using his neighbor’s computer to send the threatening message to the Vice President. Ardolf has a history of disagreements with neighbors in the various places he has lived.

According to the affidavits filed by FBI Special Agent Robert Cameron, Ardolf was already using his technical skills to harass his neighbors. Not only did he send threatening messages to the Vice President, Ardolf also sent child pornography to his neighbor’s colleagues under a fake email account he set up without his neighbor’s knowledge.

Ardolf also set up a fake MySpace account and is also alleged to have stolen personal information.

His threatening message to Biden read: “This is a terrorist threat! Take this seriously. I hate the way you people are spending money you don’t have … I’m assigning myself to be judge, jury and executioner. Since you folks have spent what you don’t have, it’s time to pay the ultimate price.”

Ardolf was charged with one count of threats to the president and successors to the presidency and one count of aggravated identity theft. The FBI was able to trace the threats through Ardolf’s tap into his neighbor’s Wi-Fi.
