Somehow eTrade's following response didn't make it to the list. I think it's important enough to resubmit it given the erroneous info posted earlier. -Jim P. -----Original Message----- From: David Rickling [mailto:drickling@etrade.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 6:02 PM To: 'LeBlanc, Jason'; 'Jim Popovitch'; 'Sean Donelan'; nanog@merit.edu Subject: RE: How to get better security people E*TRADE Financial has it's full complement of System and Network Security people still employed.

That "fact" came from someone who worked for them in Atlanta, was merely an idle comment meant to share a bit of information. The tone of your reply is a bit off.

On that note, Etrade layed off their entire net sec team a few months back. I don't trade there no more. ;)
Let me guess, eBay is moving into securities trading next.... Your "facts" about eTrade are wrong, very wrong.
