Infraguard has done great work it does in some areas (and produced rather 
mediocre efforts in others).

What I find interesting is not the hack, but the related attack on a security 
firm/consultant (depending upon which story you read) who was also attacked due 
to the passwords obtained in the Infraguard attack.

Somebody's been using the same password on multiple sites ...  (As one story says, 
a violation of Infraguard policy ...)
