UCLA break-in puts data on 800,000 at risk

I'm with NonZealot on this...: It doesn't matter what OS a break-in is a break-in. Could it be whatever OS was
used, the admin did everything humanly possible to secure the system but, the
miscreant found a way in.

When the rewards are great enough a person will find a way to break-in. Notice
this happens with brick and mortar businesses as well. It happens despite in place
full fledged security and guards.

Hind site is always 20-20.

Effort now should be placed on catching then prosecuting the miscreant. Though
it's easy to lay blame on the Admin, the OS, etc. what suggestions for catching the
people does anyone have? Blame is easy, let's hear solutions.

Sincerely,
