Not
securing its Web site costs a business in both dollars and
customer trust. Just ask a Canadian mobile phone and pager
company. Two teenagers from Wales broke into its Web server,
stole customers' credit card numbers, and posted them online.
"No one is ever 100 percent secure, but if they keep [their
security software] up-to-date all the time their chances are
really low that they will be broken into," says Chris Davis
(pictured), founder of Hexedit Network Security, the company
that caught the offenders. Hexedit worked with the wireless
company to secure its network. But, admits a spokesperson from
the phone company (which asked not to be named), "new holes
are being found every day."
