Harry Potter teaches network security? 
Found a couple news stories which had my twitter-sense tingling:
Twitter Hack Raises Flags on Security (NY Times)
Hackers Target Twitter (Business Week)
As it turned out, there was no cause for alarm, as they're talking about Twitter-the-company, not twitter-the-web-service. The short version of both boils down to "a Twitter employee's email password got cracked, which let the Bad Guys access their Google Docs account". That's not news, it happens every day, but at least the papers took the opportunity to tell the public about good password-handling practices.
The more interesting part for me, though, was this quote from the Business Week article:
Business Week wrote:
Now Unisys is working on a higher level of security that would essentially cloak the data that comes into its cloud and only users within certain communities logging in from certain locations would be able to see the information. It’s akin to how only certain characters who are members of a specific group in Harry Potter are able to physically see the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.
I actually haven't read any of the Harry Potter books and seen only the first of the movies, so the reference itself is lost on me, but I can't decide whether it's ridiculous or genius that the author was able to pull that in as a metaphor for compartmentalization of information.
