Julie Amero Case is finally over.

The infamous Julie Amero case is finally over. You remember, the poor substitute teacher who allegedly exposed her students to pornography- on a school PC which did not have up to date anti-virus software on a network without web filtering- and has spent years battling a felony conviction over the incident.

In this case, the unforeseen consequences of failing to secure the network and systems have been dramatic.  There really is a lot more to web content control than just keeping people from visiting inappropriate sites, and this case proves how wrong things can go if you ignore the basics.

The story is here, and more from Rick Green on Julie Amero's case here.  Alex Eckelberry at Sunbelt has been involved, here is his take on it.
