Best advice! I strongly second... Don't poke bears with a stick. On the Buzz Out Loud podcast a few days back, Molly Wood was simply beside herself trying to understand why you would bring that heat down on yourself like that. Part of having a good security program is letting folks know that it isn't perfect. It's yet another aspect of securing the human. I've had plenty of jobs where a client opened malware deliberately! "we have anti-virus and firewalls, we're safe right?" Never a dull day for us, huh? Have a great day everyone! - Mick On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 3:58 PM, Daniel Holiday <dehaul () gmail com> wrote:
My only thought was the blasé reaction reaction from the gawker folks indicated in the chat logs was really gross. Also, the head gawker guy kept claiming how secure they were, this and that and how much the Anonymous guys were dumb. Usually that is a dumb thing to do. Don't poke bears with a stick. Other than that - this is/was bound to happen and is bound to happen again. There are just too many sites with too much of your personal infos on them for the infos not to leak out. As Larry said on the last episode (123) information wants to be free - or there is always someone out there that wants information to be free. dehaul _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom () mail pauldotcom com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
