Ditto,
Also there has been an increase of phishing/spear-phishing via view contacts on Linked-in and other professional groups, basically with all that we are putting on our Linked In profiles is giving the phishers plenty of ammo about us our companies and what we do and who we are, it might not be us that they take advantage of, but it might be less-suspecting colleagues. Just keep that in mind, when you put information up on your linked In, Facebook, Myspace, etc etc accounts. Z Edward E.
