Break-In At SAIC Risks ID Theft
In light of the fact that Telcordia is a wholly-owned subsidary of SAIC, this is especially troublesome. ref: http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-07feb05.htm http://www.icann.org/announcements/telcordia-disclosure.htm [snip] "Some of the nation's most influential former military and intelligence officials have been informed in recent days that they are at risk of identity theft after a break-in at a major government contractor netted computers containing the Social Security numbers and other personal information about tens of thousands of past and present company employees."

Registration is not required if you copy&paste the above URL into Google and then click the URL returned in the search results. ;-) Same trick works for the NYTimes. -Jim P.

ISTR that this sort of thing was explicitly disallowed by Google's policies at one point, and was grounds for exclusion from the engine. I somehow doubt (post-IPO) that this policy is enforced any longer. :) -- -- Todd Vierling <tv@duh.org> <tv@pobox.com>
