In reply to the actual thread topic though - there was a security problem so you suggest giving out full admin access to more people? Unfortunately whilst people should really be more careful with their details (especially when it can involve other people as this case did) even those who do protect themselves properly as they are told to can find themselves at risk if someone really determined comes along. The benefit of potentially faster reaction doesn't come close to the problem of increased risk. If 4 people have admin access then adding even one more makes for a 25% bigger target

Adam Welsh is Adzeh the ex agm lol o.O
The other day I was in a toilet.
A voice came from the cubicle next to me: "Hello mate, how are you doing?"
I didn't want to be rude, so I said, "Not too bad, thanks."
I heard the voice again. "So, what are you up to?"
Again I answered, "Just having a quick ****... How about yourself?"
Then I heard him say "Sorry, mate, I'll have to call you back. I've got some **** in the cubicle next to me answering everything I say."

I think really what this has shown is the lack of security shown amongst staff members, for example, I see in people's desktop screenshots they just leave ModCP passwords and things in text files, you may as well Digg it or something!
These staff members should be somewhat clued up about how to treat sensitive data like that and how to NOT get keyloggers and to only download files from trusted sources, and perhaps this could be added to the application process.
What I have seen though are quick reaction times from the staff members and I applaud them

Thats not going to help, especially in situations like this.

Most ISP will assign ips dynamically, static generally will cost extra.
SSL wont help in the slightest since no direct hacking is occurring. If they have the pw, then the password will work whatever.
