We really didn't give them anything new at the time. If you feel you may not be using available security features to the fullest, contact the vendors of your computer systems and request documentation on security. Find out if there are security features that you may not be currently taking advantage of. There are also third party software companies that sell security packages for various operating systems and computers. Computer security is a very delicate subject.
Many people try to pretend that there is no such thing as computer crime.
Since the problem exists, the best thing to do is to study the problems and figure out the best possible solutions. If more people were to write or report about computer security, it would be easier for everyone else to protect themselves. I would like to see Bellcore publish security guidelines, available to the entire telecommunications industry. Keep in mind, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
