In a recent story in USA Today, Byron Acohido reports that malicious hackers recently broke into the computer network of a large Houston-based technology company, infecting more than 300 work stations with a virus that harvested company documents, sending the data to a gang of thieves in Turkey.
Acohido says the heist underscores a shift in computer crime, where criminals are going after corporate users instead of individuals.
Note that that individuals are less at-risk. Example: two weeks ago a hacker hit my bank account and got every dollar I have.

What happened to the planned Nov. 21st podcast?
