Hire Hackers!

Akamai should of hired someone before this all happened or hired a hacker to protect their systems and all of this could of been avoided

A couple of things about Akamai

The hack was launced Jun 15, 2004.

And the case is still pending... alleged. (i.e. no final outcome), so why print this article at all?

The only think I can think of is the very last statement!!!

>>>In the meantime, Web browser manufacturers are striving to introduce more secure upgrades, like Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.<<<

That's a Microsoft PLUG!!!

And an incorrect one at best. Microsoft is NOT striving to introduce more secure upgrades... they just continue to release one insecure browser after another!

So where's the story?
