Corporate Espionage and Driver Vulnerabilities  |  (2005/05/30 09:00)

Since I'm travelling and since these went across Slashdot, I'll be brief.
It seems that a bunch of Israeli companies have been trojaning each other to gain competitive information. So far 18 arrests have been made and some large companies have been implicated including two cell phone providers and the Israel's main satellite tv company.
Wired's coverage
Slashdot's coverage

Slashdot also points to this SecurityFocus.com article on vulnerabilities in driver software. It's a fairly high level article, but it's good to see kernel bugs getting greater attention.
