Call for donations for InfoSec News and C4I.org!

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 always 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. 

In classic public broadcasting style, if you can make a donation of
$50 or more, we'll include this year's swank C4I.org shirt and a
sticker, and if you have donated $50 or more in the past, thank you
very much, I will be contacting you shortly for your shirt size!

Immediate and near term improvements such as a digest version of the
list have been implemented, (spam  worms have been stopped dead) a
server has been purchased, hosting has been taken care of and RSS
feeds of InfoSec News and other crucial security mailing lists will be
available soon, as well as the capability to run searches of past
InfoSec News articles.

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 
3800 information security, homeland defense, and open source 
intelligence professionals depend on a daily basis.

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. However, Amazon keeps
approximately 15 percent of each donation.

If you don't trust either one of those methods, that's OK, 
the mailing address here is...

Donations to C4I.org may be tax deductable, check with your tax 
advisor. 

Thank you for your consideration!

[ISN] Call for donations for InfoSec News

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!

First, we would like to thank those of you who stepped up to the plate
and donated a little something to InfoSec News and C4I.org, its
greatly appreciated!

If you tried to donate a $1.00+ via Paypal yesterday and were getting
a note about an additional $4 Shipping and Handling charge, that's
been fixed.

Still thinking about donating? In the last year, we've have averaged
about 140 messages a month, five to seven times a week. If you find
InfoSec News benifical to you personally or professionally, please
consider making a small donation to not only continue the work we've
been doing, but improve our services.

Thank you for your consideration!
