"What if I could hack your organization and abuse your company's
reputation - and what if I could do it without your firewall, IDS,
IPS, or your host-based badware detection making a peep?
What if I could use your organization's good name to sell ED drugs,
questionable Facebook "apps," shady online "personal ads," or to
distribute porn that would make a sailor blush?
What if I did all of that, and you didn't know? What if the hack
itself took place on a machine you didn't directly control and only
accessed rarely? And what if the hack was so subtle, so obscure, and
so difficult to find that once I had it in place, it might be years
before you ever stumbled across it - if you ever stumbled across it?"
