Seems hardly "proof" to me. It's possible that TB! indexes your hard drive and sends out all your data to RitLabs! too. What's your point? At this point, it's just a bunch of security consultants trying to make a name for themselves by speculating at possible scenarios. In my research of the matter, no one has shown it actually being abused. This has gotten wildly OT. I requested in my initial post that if you weren't in favor of the reply, to just keep quiet on the matter. While this has generally held up (thank you for those that did), now it's turned into a he-said, she-said security argument that a) would bias those reading my original post (NB: Others could do their own research if they wanted -- they don't need someone else giving them their opinion) and b) doesn't belong on TBBETA. So at this point, I request that further discussion of the "security issues" with GDS go to TBOT or some other net sink hole. -- Thanks, Kevin ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.1 Beta/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
