We've all read about the break-in to General Electric's
Network back in November.

However, I read in the business section of the Philadelphia
Inquirer yesterday that this breach was through GE's
home page.  Does anyone have more information on this?

How is it possible?  More importantly, how do we prevent
this from happening again?

Thanks for any ideas.
