Greetings all,
It has been standard practice to ensure systems ensure their login banners
warn the users that unauthorised access is not allowed, your activity may be
logged etc...
A client has asked if there is any evidence that this really matters. I
heard a story once upon a time that a hacker did not get prosecuted because
the login banner said something like "Welcome to your friendly neighborhood
computer". Is this an urban legend?
Does anyone have any evidence that the login banner has been used in court?
Any help would be appreciated.
regards,
Patrick
