I'm glad to hear Mr. Carr is all about sharing information. I take it to mean that we will get the full story about what happened at Heartland first, to show that he is serious about sharing information. Afterall, by his reasoning, if he shares this type of information with the world, then he may help prevent another intrusion like it. While Mr. Carr gathers his notes, he can look over at http://datalossdb.org/ for a great place for information on previous incidents. If only he had looked at it before. _______________________________________________ Best Selling Security Books & More! http://www.shopinfosecnews.org/Received on Thu Jan 29 2009 - 02:08:42 PST
