Part of the problem in believing reports of computer crime is that only 
the flashiest cases (i.e. Kevin Mitnick) ever have names attached.  
Would you be kind enough to provide specific details on a few of the

record.  No flame intended - I'd just like to see the ratio of fact to 
conjecture rise in this newsgroup.
