I was going to post to this as well.  I was watching it, it looked like
someone just happened to have their accounting file online.. they made too big
a deal of it if you ask me (altho nobody should have accounting records
on the net).

I know it wasnt us.  The only accounting records kept *on the net* are there
when we take new accounts in on the intranet.  It's on the drive for about
two seconds before it's encrypted (MD5+PGP) and sent to a machine accessible
only over a private ethernet.

What was that guy's name that they interviewed? Patrick somebody-or-other..
