"State information technology experts became aware of the breach Wednesday
when they spotted a variation of legitimate "Cain and Abel" software in
the system.

The illegal software, which may have been installed for six months, allows
a hacker to watch transactions in real time, but not to recover earlier
records, said Richard Bailey, chief information officer for the Office of
Information Technology."

So "Cain & Abel" is legitimate, but variations are not? This seems to be
shoddy reporting, unless I missed something here..
