Hello all... as a Colombian working on information security, I can tell you that this operation (Jaque Operation) was carried out with lots of pressure from European countries that were opposite to this kind of military rescues. As Colombians, we are very proud for our government to succeed this very difficult mission that gave a lesson to more than one opposite :) Follow this link to get more information of this Intel-security operation: http://www.wired.com/politics/security/commentary/securitymatters/2008/07/se curitymatters_0710?currentPage=all Best Regards, Jairo Pantoja Moncayo www.digiware.com.co -----Mensaje original----- De: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] En nombre de Daniel I.

What I find most interesting is that this
appears
to be a purely social engineering attack. The English language media have not provided that much detail thus far about the social engineering aspects of the operation. If anyone has more information regarding how the rescue was social engineered,
please
post it to this thread. Just based on what I have seen thus far, this may turn out to be one
of
the greatest social engineering attacks in military history. Jon Kibler - -- Jon R. Kibler Chief Technical Officer Advanced Systems Engineering Technology, Inc.
