Detection isn't always enough

from here (image source)

Sometimes detecting the intrusion is the easy part. Sometimes it doesn't help correct the situation at all. That's what people in an Alaskan hospital discovered when a moose wandered inside.

Kinda makes you wonder about intrusion detection systems, doesn't it.

It's a trap!

Someone almost got their feet shredded, by the looks of it.

from here

How to tell when a cyber-criminal has OCD

from here

It's weird when someone returns part of the money they stole, but when that makes the remainder a nice round number, I can't help but think they cared more about the look of the number than they did the actual money.

And it's even designed for when things 'go dark'

from here (source article)

Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, surveillance phone.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that an object commonly criticized for being a tracking device you can make calls on (aka a cell phone) has mirrored the Intelligence Community on a number of points, including the fact that we wouldn't even know about it right now if it hadn't been for a leak. Talk about going the extra mile.... for a coincidence.

If you're lonely and you know it, take the call

What's sad is that some people will take the call anyway because of exactly that reason.
