Call for donations for InfoSec News! Back on July 1st when we last went looking for donations, we had a little under 2% response ratio. This would have been great if we were trying to sell you goods and merchandise, but its a little shocking when its in regards to asking for a little money to keep the show on the road, and improve on all the litle things everyone keeps asking about. (News on the web, RSS feeds, digest modes) While I REALLY understand its a down economy in everyone but a few select eyes :) I would really appreciate it if you would check out the link below and donate at least $1 or more. With a little over 3500 subscribers, a dollar or two would insure that InfoSec News can stay the advertiser free and vendor neutral newsletter that many of you depend on daily to keep abreast of security news and trends. Thanks for your time! William Knowles wkat_private -=- http://www.c4i.org/contribute.html Richard Clarke once said... "If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, then you will be hacked. What's more, you deserve to be hacked." InfoSec News is in a cash crunch. While we could start accepting funds in lieu of sponsorship on the list, we would rather take donations from subscribers to keep InfoSec News advertising free. It's sorely needed and helps a good cause! For $1.00 at the local diner, you can buy a bottomless cup of coffee. At the local bookstore, a large three shot, double latte cappuccino is about $4.00. Ideally we'd like to see every InfoSec News subscriber sacrifice at least one or two days without his or her coffee to enable us to buy the equipment needed to not only continue the work we've been doing, but improve our services. Immediate and near term improvements such as a digest version of the list, RSS feeds of InfoSec News and other crucial security mailing lists, and archives of past articles for download to run searches yourself. A donation of $1 to $4 isn't a lot when you consider the work done behind the scenes here, such as dealing with Microsoft SMTPSVC, bounced mail, and dead addresses. Its no small feat finding, filtering, formatting, and analyzing the news stories that more than 3500 information security, homeland defense, and open source intelligence professionals depend on a daily basis. http://www.c4i.org/contribute.html Through PayPal we can accept donations in the following currencies: U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euro's, Pounds Sterling, & Yen. Using Amazon's Honor System, you can use your credit card without retyping it if Amazon already has it on file. Amazon keeps approximately 15 percent of each donation. If you don't trust either one of them, the mailing address here is. C4I.org Post Office Box 24 Golf, Illinois 60029-0024 U.S.A Thank you for your consideration!
