In this era of international hacking why expose critical lob information to the internet? Cut the cord to in-house servers...

I read that the IT security was only a "handful fo people (aka five) and the security policy was outdated and only a joke. And it wasnt the first breach, so they were alarmed about attacks. :mad: After reading that I only got sarcastic like a old men: "They only got what they deserved" X|

Wouldn't surprise me entirely. Sony laid off thousands last year (or was it the year before?)...I don't remember the source, but I recall hearing/reading that a lot of these were IT people responsible for their own internal infrastructure.

What I mean is, do not place critical business information on servers (or server farms) that are connected to the internet. This includes accounting, CRM, customer data, credit card, planning, source code, any other company confidential information. Only public facing websites need be hosted on servers connected to the internet. Everything else should be placed on isolated, internal networks. Even systems such as accounting should be on separate internal networks, available to only those with a need to know, apart from general company network. PCs are cheap (in comparison to being hacked). Use a KVM switch to switch between desktop PCs for browsing the web/email, and a PC with access to internal, confidential application systems.
