According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Laptop notebook computers are getting more and more popular as time goes on. The idea of replacing desktops with laptops seems to be growing by the day. As powerful, thin, and as useful as laptops are, caring for the laptop. Since laptops are portable electronic devices, they are more susceptible to damage than desktop computers. While manufacturers work to prevent wear and tear, there are still some things that should be done to help ensure your laptop lives a long life.

Desktop Computer "We're seeing more scams now than we saw after the Southeast Asian tsunami last December. The complaints started rolling in just a few days after Katrina made landfall. As of this morning, we've received hundreds of Katrina-related complaints from people all over the country," said Reigel.
Notebooks Reigel went on to say that the FBI was seeing all kinds of fraudulent web sites. "Sites that spoof those of legitimate charitable organizations to steal people's credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security numbers, and other personal information. Phishing e-mails, or spam, with links that redirect your web browser to those spoofed sites. E-mails that trick people into opening virus-laden attachments under the guise that they're opening photos of the hurricane damage. You name it-we're discovering new tactics everyday."

Gateway Cyber Exec Reigel had some parting words for AXcess News' readers; "Be cautious in your giving. Don't respond to any unsolicited incoming e-mails requesting donations, even if they look like they're coming from reputable charitable organizations. Reputable charities don't use spam to solicit donations. To make sure your donation is going to a legitimate, U.S.-based non-profit organization, type the charity's web address directly into your web browser. Be very leery of emails with attachments, even if they're from someone you know. And if you think you've been victimized by one of these scams, file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center."
