I am joe small business in joe small town. I am not wells fargo. I have never had an incident before beyond the normal spyware and such. Questions and comments which are so easily slain as are the servers and workstations of the people whom make them. Two types of people call by company, the ones whom are looking to be proactive and avoid the pain of what a breach can turn into and the ones whom thought like the people above whom now are looking for people to help clean up the mess. -Marc Maiffret www.marcmaiffret.com <http://www.marcmaiffret.com/> On Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 12:05 PM, Roger Wright <[email protected]> wrote: Spyware, Malware, Scareware, etc.... now we have Ransomware. http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=4748 Roger Wright ___ Sent from Tampa, FL, United States ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
