An anonymous reader writes: I got a few calls today from a number I didn't recognize. They didn't leave a voice mail so I assumed it was a telemarketer. I decided to see what Google thought about the number and the first link that came up was: http://whocalled.us/lookup/3123279690. This link includes the phone number I was searching for. Pretty cool way for us to work together to ID the telemarketers.

An anonymous reader writes: Shawn Carpenter a former network intrusion analyst at Sandia National Laboratories says he was intimated and threatened by his supervisors after he shared information from an internal network investigation with the FBI and Army intelligence. Carpenter was fired from Sandia in Jan 2005 because of what Sandia claimed was his improper sharing of confidential information. Carpenter, says he did so in the national interest, after his back-hacking activities showed that the intruders who had broken into Sandia belonged to a Chinese hacker group called Titan Rain that had carried out similar attacks against other government and commercial networks. He recently was awarded $4.3 million for wrongful termination by a New Mexico jury. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?com mand=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9011832&intsrc=hm_ list
