Tech Secrets Of A Colombian Cocaine Cartel
from the supercomputers-and-submarines dept
Anonymous writes "As you may be aware, Colombian cartels have spent billions to build one of the world's most sophisticated IT infrastructures. According to Business 2.0 senior writer Paul Kaihla, the Cali cartel has a larger IT infrastructure with a higher level of security than Microsoft. In an in-depth report, Kaihla uncovers how technology from household name companies in the U.S. and around the world are helping the underground world smuggle more dope than anyone would think possible."
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

job openings at our family business
recent business restructuring results in several opening in our IT dept. You should know the usual IT b.s. (web, networking, blah blah blah...). In addition, our unique industry requires a few more requirements:
* efficiency with Uzi, M16, handguns and willing to apply your skills in hostile take-over situations.
* no fear of blood, even in large amounts...either of some-else or your own.
* knowledge of Nazi/Communist torture techniques is a definite asset.
We realized that only a select few would meet the above requirements, and therefore we offer the chosen few the following benefits as part of compensation package:
* 200K+ in salary, DOE.
* Swiss bank account
* death insurance benefits.
* family protection program
Please beware that there is a lengthy employment contract in place and will be enforced vigorously. Rest assure that once you start working with us, our culture and work ethics, you will see no reason to leave at all.
Please send all resumes and enquiries to jobs@gambino.family.com.
don't call us, we'll pick you up.
