CAUCE

Why do we accept $10 security on $1,000,000 data?

Last week we heard of yet another egregious security breach at an online provider, as crooks made off with the names, address, and birth dates of eBay users, along with encrypted passwords. They suggest you change your password, which is likely a good idea, and you better also change every other place you used the same password. But that's not much help since you can't change your name, address, and birth date, which are ever so handy for phishing and identity theft.

R.I.P. Gretchen Miller

I’m sorry to have to report that Gretchen, whom would know from Megapath, Time-Warner Cable, Road Runner, and AOL anti-abuse passed away earlier this week.

The world is short a died-in-the-wool antispammer, and a kind and gentle person.

Funeral arrangements are still TBA, the service will be at http://www.peterpaulpotomac.org 10620 River Road, Potomac, MD  20854
