ran the previous
four months of Internet email (from the backups) through my analytics.

I found plenty of stuff there too.

Another major category of incidents: people in their last week at work.

In most cases from the backups, the person had already left the firm.

Even when they were still here:

********** begin excerpt from 'Corruption at Salomon Brothers' **********

!  18,525 lines of proprietary YieldBook C source.
!  The user is still here (voicemail answers).
!  Sent to themselves, or a relative, into a college campus.
!  This source is very Salomon-specific, and could not be useful
!  to transmit offsite for "testing".
!  It executes other programs in the YieldBook package tree, and
!  needs a full setup of YieldBook to operate.
!
!  Shall I do the secondary searches and an incident report?

Nothing was done: I had completely overwhelmed Salomon Legal with security
incidents, and many were ignored.

In general, when you catch something in the backups, there are two choices:

    o Grin and bear it
    o File criminal or civil charges in court


Two of the security incidents found in the backups qualified for criminal
prosecution.

One was a source for the Finance Desk Trading System [FDTS].
