    Its so simple...

    Most of these breaches are a result of network administrators being any combination of lazy, careless, retarded or ignorant. its not that hard to setup and maintain security policies that work, but most average users bitch and the admins bow to pressure...

    Professionialism! What's that?

    Unfortunately it is not just IT that is suffering from a lack of professionalism it seems to be occurring in most industries. Try to get a decent response from almost anyone from your local fast food shop to the upper reaches of the civil service and you will get buck passing ( it's not my responsibility), excuses or just given the run around until you get fed up and sod off. Maybe it has something to do with education in schools or at home or both, or maybe it is the latest fashion to not give a shit.

    The few people that do give a damn are definitely in the minority and probably considered by their co-workers to be nonconformist and odd. It's a pity but I cant be bothered to to say anymore!
