You guys are kidding, right?  They weren't hacked, this experience will make them change and improve their security procedures for DBAs, and they've been hard at work since the event happened to improve security and bring everything back up for everyone.  What would you have preferred they do?  In my opinion, they've demonstrated professionalism, and I look forward to the improvements which the problem will engender.  We can't expect them to identify security holes on a contractor's computer, and its unrealistic to think they'd be invulnerable to attack, especially considering the massive amount of money that flows through there each day.  They're not prophets or fortune tellers, they're regular people, and they've reacted to this situation as well as any person could. 


I'm getting emails from the operator of TradeHill trying to exploit the situation...glhf faring any better in security when all eyes are on you.
