"The drugs and the crime fit neatly together; addicts strung 
out on meth
can stay awake and focused for days at a time, making them 
expert
hackers and mailbox thieves. And ID theft is easy money, the 
perfect
income for drug addicts who have no other way to fund their 
habit."

"Bob Sullivan is senior writer for MSNBC.com's Technology 
section, specializing in computer crime, electronic financial 
fraud, privacy, and the Internet Underground. His 
investigative reports have forced hundreds of companies to 
come clean about the theft of customer data by hackers, and 
he has regularly been the first to warn of potential identity 
theft. Bob was also the first to tell Americans that the FBI 
had developed a computer program, called Magic Lantern, 
designed to steal public encryption keys. Bob’s work has been 
read by millions and he has appeared on MSNBC TV, CNBC, NBC 
Nightly News, the Today Show, TechTV, and a variety of local 
NBC affiliates."

Bob is also the first to stick his foot in his mouth in front 
of the hacker community...and other savvy computer security 
professionals.

I believe Bob has reached  his highest level of 
incompetence.  MSNBC will most likely promote him.
