This thread is worth a gander

{Broken URL deleted}

Suffice to say that the Star of the Colombia OTR thread was caught out by a similar "job advert" �a few years ago. �Lots of candidates were interviewed for a lucrative corporate security job abroad, nobody was ever recruited. �Funny old thing that !

Interestingly, SUBJECT has not posted for about 4 weeks now. Obviously nothing to do with �backroom work by the "Padlock Counters" then? �

Hope admins remember to delete his account like para 5.5 at SANS recommendshttp://www.sans.org/top20/#w5

Do not, under any circumstances, use the same e-mail address for Arrse, as an e-mail address you may have knocking around on the web. It makes it all too easy to identify you. remeber, the more dedicated, or not so dedicated intelligence gatherer, can find out a shedload about you in no time at all.

Go and open an Arrse only hotmail account, if you want to carry on conversations off-board. It's handy for MSN messenger too.

But remember, as Subsonic has pointed out, People or their actions, may not be the same as you expect.

Good point; some of us are forced by circumstance to chase every buck in those climes. *Recently, a former Corps body, *a defrocked Queensman and an ex Gunner presented themselves for interview by a strange but very gabby object who had managed to fool one of the quasi-official resettlement groups about his status. * *What the creature was up to is anybody's guess, but he certainly hasn't paid any expenses yet. *There are a couple of other weirdo types out there who I've had the displeasure of meeting/talking to over the last couple of years; if anybody on this board gets an offer which seems a little too good, especially in MEA security, post a note and we'll talk about it.

...speaking of which, there is a very strange former truckie (chucked out of Angola where he posed as a security adviser and probably about to be given the heave from southeast asia) who has been badmouthing the Glorious Corps to various corporates; why he should do this I don't know, but the reports have flooded in (2 of them, B6). *Anyone seriously smacked a driver in their time?

Doubless D PR Army are more than happy with this

Go to yahoo images: *http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=index2&cid=702 *type in Iraq or Basra and watch the photos of named soldiers scroll on and on.

Next simply click on 192.com to find a home address in a Garrison town. *If one of these poor individuals has the misfortune to become a casualty, guess where the gutter press are going to be looking for their tearful mum story?

Published 10 days ago, this Audit Commission report contains some useful potted case histories in the world of system abuse:

ICT and Fraud Abuse 2004

ICT security is only as effective as the staff within the organisation and failure to
communicate to users their responsibilities has led to:

● a significant increase in inappropriate use of the internet and email (despite around three
quarters of respondents scoring the accessing of the web and email as medium to low risks);
● virus infections continuing to represent a major risk; and
● ICT fraud still being committed across all organisations.

Organisations still appear to be complacent about the risks of newer technologies:

● two
thirds regard wireless technology as being a medium to low risk; and
● three
quarters regard PDAs as only medium to low risk

Hostage survival / management video

Olaf Wiig interview: managing a hostage crisis 1 hr 40 mins

If you are involved in providing:

-Foreign travel security advice
-Theoretical conduct after capture training and
-Debriefing

You may find some useful material in this 1 hr 40 min video. sadly I am not net-savvy enough to know how to save it to the hard drive.

the version i've seen of this had "Barclays" logo superimposed over the 2001 date stamp, to make it seem modern and UK-based. the footage was actually taken in the Royal Bank of Trinidad and Tobago. old method, still very interesting though.
