AV OUTFIT Symantec has bought Web security firm Mi5 Networks.

Mi5 flogs a Web security appliance to protect corporations against Web-based threats and Symantec says it will integrate the technology into its offerings later in 2009.

The deal has been closed and although money changed hands no one has said how much Symantec paid. µ

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
