On the other hand, I think it's more likely that BoA had unprotected SQL servers, and they got it. It took a long while for BoA IT people to make it out of bed saturday morning to fix the problem.
I still clearly say that I don't know what happened, and I did make assumptions (as I said in the original mail) -- but I'd still place my money on b).
I agree, yet there is inconclusive evidence as to whether the unprotected SQL servers were in their private network or their public network, nor what data was contained on them. Like many networks, they may have just killed out switches and routers that were shared between public and private. Jack Bates BrightNet Oklahoma -Will someone using <5000 for source ports?
