I just had a backup of a PCI DSS DB uploaded via anon FTP for a server
I'm working on. Can't get much more clueless than that considering that
they had:

- - a valid login to an alternative secure sftp server.
- - both my and their own GPG credentials to allow it to be encrypted.
- - over 10 years experience as a 'system administrator' responsible for
the companies PKI.

The only mitigating factor was that the upload directory doesn't allow
downloads, but it still went over the wire in the clear.
