Cisco, US DOJ Fire Another Salvo At Peter Adekeye
"Citing the widespread practice of sharing passwords for expediency's sake, Cisco's Chief Security Officer proclaimed in 2007 that people 'need to be held accountable for their risk-taking,' noting that CEO John Chambers drives home the point that 'information security is everybody's responsibility' at Cisco. But instead of accepting responsibility after a Cisco employee provided his ID and password to ex-Cisco engineer Peter Alfred-Adekeye, the networking giant sic'ed the Feds on Adekeye, who was slapped with a five-count indictment by a Federal grand jury last week. Adekeye's crime, according to the Court filing, was using the login credentials the Cisco employee provided him with 'in excess of the specific use granted by the Cisco employee.' For his five downloads of different versions of Cisco IOS — four of which were launched within a 15-minute period in 2006 — the government is seeking a penalty of 5 years imprisonment for Adekeye, a $250K fine, and 3 years supervised release. It's the latest salvo fired in the war Cisco and US prosecutors have waged against Adekeye since he filed an an rust suit against Cisco in December 2008."
and Cisco employee who gave away his password?
No Federal crime and indictment?
No exposure of his name?
I don't know what to say, but if someone is illegally using inside information...
What inside information?
Am I wrong?
He was an insider, then uses someone else's password?
Yes you are.
What inside information?
Am I wrong, or didn't he used to work for Cisco?
Yes.
What inside information?
Ummm....
How did he get the passwords, for one?
It's explained in what I posted. Stop asking stupid questions and READ.
And you don't consider that insider information?
He's not being accused of using insider information. I don't see why I should consider that either. Did you read the links?
