Topic: Miscellaneous 1:27 pm EDT, Aug 19, 2005

nvestigators told local paper Helsingin Sanomat that the suspects wrongly believed that the use of an insecure wireless network in commission of the crime would mask their tracks. This failed when police identified the MAC address of the machine used to pull off the theft from a router and linked it to a GE Money laptop. Police say that stolen funds have been recovered. Four men have been arrested over the alleged theft with charges expected to follow within the next two months

The lession of the day: Always Always Always change your MAC Address before doing something you shouldn't.
