Password Access- Get rid of simple passwords; routinely change all
passwords; regular review/monitoring of password
files
Physical Access- Lock up terminals, personal computers, disks when
not in use; eliminate unnecessary access lines;
disconnect modems when not in use
Other measures- Know who you are talking to; shred all documents;
avoid public domain software; report suspicious
activity (especially non-working hours access)
What this all means is that hackers must now rely on the ineptitude
and laziness of the users of the system rather than the ignorance
of SysOps. The SysOps and SecMans (Security Managers) are getting
smarter and keeping up to date. Not only that, but they are
monitoring the hack/phreak BBSes and publications. So the bottom
line is reveal nothing to overinquisitive newbies...they may be
working for the wrong side.
