Since I love the USA Network show “The 4400“, I keep wanting to make a joke here. But I won’t, since everything I can think of sounds pretty weak.
Anyway, Oregon had a government worker surfing porn and got a trojan. Now you have up to 2,200 Oregon taxpayers information compromised. Seems like typical stuff. But what I want to know is this: how did this worker get to porn in the first place? Why wasn’t this being blocked? Was was the website this trojan came from? Has this website been reported to the authorities and the major security companies and whoever is hosting the site? Was it actually a website, or were they getting porn from an IRC channel? have they checked for further infections? Was this a known trojan that should have stopped by anti-malware on the desktop or the server? Was it an unknown trojan that has been reported to the major anti-malware companies? Where are the big details here? 
There is too much left out of this story to make me comfrotable. I am not an Oregon resident, and I have only been there once, so I am fairly certain I am not in trouble here. But some details need to come out to make sure this is not a new threat out in the wild. And more people than the employee need to be held accountable. Some government IT managers and execs need to be held to task for not blocking this type of traffic.
