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.

In order to get some traction with senior management on this issue, you
might
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:

problem of physics but of ethics. It is easier to denature
plutonium than to denature the evil from the spirit of man.
