C-level executives are pushing for greater access to social networking sites and 
facilities, while even IT managers and security specialists are unprepared to deal 
with the full range of risks from this type of activity.

want to remind them that, when they take off with funds they've obtained via 
fraud, it's best not to post boasts on Facebook:

The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is not a
problem of physics but of ethics. It is easier to denature
plutonium than to denature the evil from the spirit of man.
