[TIME] The Invasion of the Chinese Cyberspies (And the Man Who Tried to Stop Them). Article de la pregistigiosa revista d'informació sobre seguretat informàtica.
It was another routine night for Shawn Carpenter. After a long day analyzing computer-network security for Sandia National Laboratories, where much of the U.S. nuclear arsenal is designed, Carpenter, 36, retreated to his ranch house in the hills overlooking Albuquerque, N.M., for a quick dinner and an early bedtime. He set his alarm for 2 a.m. Waking in the dark, he took a thermos of coffee and a pack of Nicorette gum to the cluster of computer terminals in his home office.
As he had almost every night for the previous four months, he worked at his secret volunteer job until dawn, not as Shawn Carpenter, mid-level analyst, but as Spiderman--the apt nickname his military-intelligence handlers gave him--tirelessly pursuing a group of suspected Chinese cyberspies all over the world. Inside the machines, on a mission he believed the U.S. government supported, he clung unseen to the walls of their chat rooms and servers, secretly recording every move the snoopers made, passing the information to the Army and later to the FBI.

Tot un clàssic dels missatges d'error de Windows: «Your Password Must Be at Least 18770 Characters and Cannot Repeat Any of Your Previous 30689 Passwords»
If you log on to an MIT realm, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, click Change Password, type your existing MIT password, and then type a new, simple password that does not pass the dictionary check in Kadmind, you may receive the following error message:
Your password must be at least 18770 characters and cannot repeat any of your previous 30689 passwords. Please type a different password. Type a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes.
Evidentment s'ha de reconèixer que aquesta política és una mica massa exigent... qui pot recordar una contrasenya de 18.770 caràcters i que ha de ser diferent de les 30.689 contrasenyes que hem utilitzat anteriorment.
